Main Character(s):

None

Summary:

A housecat accidentally breaks a girl statue so the maid puts it in the attic. The shepherd statue and the lamb statue come to life, go up to the attic, and after repairing the girl, all the stuff in the attic comes to life.

That’s Not All, Folks:

This was the first animation credit for Chuck Jones, who would become the greatest director from the studio.

The animation of the girl dancing to a Latin American tune would later be reused several times.

This is the first time in a Warner cartoon where we see a cat trying to catch a bird. Incidentally, Freleng came up with the idea to pair up Tweety and Sylvester over a decade later.

What I Like About This One:

The shepherd putting a pillow on the floor so that his lamb can jump off safely.

The shepherd realizing that the last piece to attach to the girl is the piece that goes on her rear. He feels awkward doing that, so he gives it to her to put it back on herself.

The “Speak No Evil, Hear No Evil, See No Evil” statues all having monkey bodies, but having the heads of the Three Stooges.

The shepherd using the bow and arrow from a Cupid statue to save his lamb from a lion statue.
