My Favorite Scene from Looney Tunes

 

Chuck Jones's Scaredy Cat (1948) is one of my favorite cartoons. I have mentioned it a few weeks ago, but I can't blame it. I always loved everything about this cartoon. 

From the atmospheres, to the dreadful but mysteriously fun plot. 

The animation is at it's peak, I love the zany but steady movement the Warner Bros. shorts had at that time. I think I more or so laugh at these than characters going completely insane for some reason that feels outta place.

But Chuck Jones's cartoons are logical and powerful to me that I can't believe I honestly made fun of his work in the past. Seriously I blamed way too hard on cartoons that weren't on the level of Tex Avery and Bob Clampett. 

Anyways this scene is influential. I love the speed and exaggeration of Sylvester running away from the mansion. These backgrounds are also simple but awesome. Great color gradient.

I love the camera angle, the scene goes from one natural environment to another. We can easily see where Sylvester is running to. It reminds me of the lady from Tom and Jerry in that one scene where she rushes to her house in Saturday Evening Puss. 

Sylvester is a character I felt sorry for while I was still watching the classic Looney Tunes shorts especially the shorts starring alongside Tweety. He just doesn't deserve the pain. I like Sylvester as a character, he has alot of deep feelings inside even if he is characterized as a peckish slob in his iconic roles. This is by far my favorite personality of Sylvester. He's very timid, yet he's willing to show his bravery in the final act of this cartoon.

Now appears his conscience. Who is just the most underappreciated and most lovely Looney Tunes characters of all time.

Ha. I would be making faces like Sylvester as well if I been called out for doing something mistaken.

Notice how the skies get more intense as Sylvester fights for his fearlessness. 

This is absoutely magnificent stuff. I think what makes this even better is the incredible Carl Stalling music. 

Here's another great animation scene of Sylvester sprinting back to mansion.

The drawings are so impressive, I don't think I ever seen another art medium like the hand-drawn method do animated frames like this. Like with the close-up frame of Sylvester's feet. 

More "cartoony" drawings done correctly at least to me.

This few seconds of utter chaos.

I would say that when it comes to characters standing up for themselves when they face challenges can be predictable at times, but at the same time, it's one of my favorite type of traits in films. We all can relate to a specific character who is aiming for perseverance. And this cartoon is a perfect example of that.
