Kitty Cornered

About This Movie

Kitty Cornered is a curious little piece from 1955 that merges animation with comedy in a delightful yet twisted narrative. The story revolves around a devious butler, Snardley, whose greed drives him to concoct schemes against a seemingly innocent cat named Kitty Kuddles. The pacing has a charming rhythm, allowing the humor to unfold with a mix of slapstick and clever dialogue, though the animation itself is pretty standard for the era. It captures that classic mid-century feel, and there’s something distinctly enjoyable about the exaggerated character designs. While the butler's antics can feel a bit dark, the overall atmosphere is lighthearted, making it an interesting study in how far humor can stretch in animation.

Kitty Cornered is an intriguing addition to the animation landscape of the 50s, with limited availability in physical formats. Most collectors seem to come across it in VHS or rare DVD compilations, which adds to its charm and scarcity. It's one of those obscure titles that might not be widely known but definitely has a small, dedicated following among those who appreciate vintage animation and its quirky narratives.
