Sock-a-Bye Kitty

Sign in to edit

Sock-a-Bye Kitty is a 1950 Noveltoons cartoon directed by Seymour Kneitel and Dave Tendlar.

Plot[]

Katnip has not been able to get any sleep for weeks, and has tried every self-help book he can find. One of them recommends consuming a blackbird, either in a pie or as crow-quettes. Buzzy the Crow seems to fit the bill, although he doesn’t want to find himself between two layers of crust. Buzzy offers his usual brand of “help” to cure Katnip’s “in-somonia”, one method being by counting a hopping Buzzy disguised as a sheep – while he holds a saw within his claws to saw the floor out from under Katnip’s bed at the same time. Eventually, Katnip winds up in a tree, and Buzzy pulls the “rock-a-bye- baby “ bit to let the bough break and Katnip fall. Buzzy lifts the unconscious cat’s eyelids, which now read “Good Night”.

  • This is the first cartoon to pair Buzzy and Katnip together.
