Elmer Fudd settles into bed hoping to get a good night's sleep ("I could sweep for a week stwaight"). Unfortunately Sylvester the cat has chosen tonight to practice his opera singing on the fence in Elmer's backyard. What follows is a series of attempts by a frustrated Elmer to shut Sylvester up, only to have the cat come back more and more annoying each time. Very funny short with lots of good gags. The wonderful voicework (and singing) from the great Mel Blanc is the highlight. Lovely animation, of course. It's a remake of Friz Freleng's earlier Notes to You, a funny Porky Pig short. I prefer this one to that but both are good.

I like it, I thought it was enjoyable film and Sylvester gave us all a great musical performance; I should tell you all that this cartoon is a remake of an early Friz Freleng cartoon "Notes to You" starring Porky Pig and an unknown cat. But in this short, Elmer Fudd is the sleep-deprived victim.I do remember having "Notes to You" on VHS as a kid, but sadly it has been lost over the years. You know after watching this short, I found it even better than the other one. The one thing that disturb me, was that dumb-lookin' tabby sang like a girl! Like O-M-G! what the f*** was that all about?! So anyway, it is a good short. But at a 9 out 10 star rating for a mediocre storyline and one disturbing sight. But a wonderful performance by Sylvester.

Elmer is "weally sleepy" and quickly heads to bed. Seconds later, Sylvester is climbing the fence, sets up a music stand, works on his pitch with a harmonica....and then starts his opera singing in front of a beautiful, full moon.Elmer is quickly at the window, telling the cat to scram. Sylvester continues to literally spit out "Figaro," while dodging objects thrown at him. Each time the cat's singing is interrupted, he comes back with a different kind of song (he has a full repertoire) and torments Elmer from outside and later inside the house. I never realized Sylvester had such a good singing voice! (Mel Blanc, the voice of all these Looney Tunes characters, was unbelievably talented.)This was terrific; much funnier than I expected.

Classic pairing of Elmer Fudd and Sylvester makes me wonder why they didn't team up more. Sylvester's singing repertoire is particularly entertaining.
