Cattanooga Cats 1-Disc Box Set DVD
Cattanooga Cats is the late-1960s Hanna-Barbera Saturday morning series about a quartet of guitar-playing, song-singing felines, mixing animated band performances with adventure shorts and a parade of supporting cartoons in the era's classic variety-block format. The show aired on ABC across the 1969 and 1970 seasons, sitting comfortably alongside the network's other musical-cartoon experiments of the late-1960s slate.
The format is the era's house style at full tilt: each broadcast bundle wraps musical numbers, an adventure short, and the kind of vintage Hanna-Barbera comedy beats that fans of the studio's late-1960s output will recognize on sight. Episode titles like "Witch Whacky," "Geronihoho," "The Big Boo-Boo," and "Ghosting A-Go-Go" telegraph the goofy, music-and-mystery register the show keeps coming back to. The animation has the unmistakable look of late-1960s Hanna-Barbera, with bright colors, simple character lines, and a real fondness for sight gags.
For late-1960s ABC Saturday morning programming, this was the network at its most enthusiastic about animated band shows, sitting in the lineage of musical-cartoon hits of the era. Suited for viewers with affection for vintage Hanna-Barbera, fans of the era's animated-band trend, and anyone curious about the lineage that ran from Saturday morning rock cats to later musical cartoons.
Memorable installments include "Witch Whacky" (the opener), "Geronihoho" (a fan-favorite slapstick beat), "The Big Boo-Boo" (a classic title), "Mummy's Day" (a goofier swing), and "Ghosting A-Go-Go" (the closer). This single-disc collection gathers all 9 episodes of Cattanooga Cats in one place, a complete and tight slice of late-1960s Saturday morning animation, ready to revisit with the morning cereal.
