Every one of the 10,000 cells is a gem

* Spoiler warning - you may do yourself harm watching this cartoon *

I have been doing a complete analysis of The Cat Concerto as part of my PhD work and I have spent 100 hours on it. You may think me mad but I still burst out laughing when I see one of the single frames as I step through them.

Scott Bradley's arrangement of Liszt's 2nd Hungarian Rhapsody (piano duet, played by Bradley and John Crown, head of Piano at University of Southern California) makes an excellent canvas for Muse, Barge & Spence to animate. There are more comic gems in this 7 minute cartoon than all the latter-day comedy features put together.

Truly wonderful. If you get the chance to watch the cartoon frame by frame on a computer, do so, but I disclaim any responsibility for asphyxia or self-harm from rolling on the floor.

Top marks.
