Review of Silent Tweetment Originally Released on September 19, 1946. Review Date: August, 2014 Rebroadcast Credits: First, a thanks to - Antenna TV - over the air channel and their program - Totally Tuned In - for their rebroadcasts of these cartoon classics. Cartoon Review: The house cat (Flop) tries to get the cannary (Flippy) to sing to avoid eviction by the home owner. Flippy takes advantage of this to drive Flop to mad antics. Annimation and background graphics are high quality, typical of the 1930s thru mid 40s period. Of special note, the cartoon artists depicted the house as Art-Moderne. Additional Information: From Wiki - Totally Tooned In - is a syndicated TV cartoon series consisting of theatrical cartoons from the Columbia Pictures and UPA animation studios. From Wiki: Art Moderne, was a late type of the Art Deco architecture and design that emerged in the 1930s. Its architectural style emphasized curving forms, long horizontal lines, and sometimes nautical elements.
