"The Wizard of Oz" is one of the most beloved movies of all time. The Looney Tunes are one of the most popular cartoon franchises of all time. The two indirectly crossed paths with Abe Levitow's "Gay Purr-ee", with Judy Garland voicing a cat who leaves rural France for Paris with the aim of making it big. It's obviously not the most famous animated feature, but it has an enjoyable plot. The writing by Chuck Jones and additional voice work by Mel Blanc make for an unusual connection to a certain screwy rabbit, lisping duck and stuttering pig (in fact, Abe Levitow directed a couple of Looney Tunes cartoons for Chuck Jones).
The rest of the voice work includes Robert Goulet (the villain in "Naked Gun 2 1/2"), Red Buttons (Oscar-winner for "Sayonara"), Paul Frees (the voice of Boris on "Rocky & Bullwinkle" and the Ghost Host in Disneyland's Haunted Mansion) and Morey Amsterdam (Buddy on "The Dick Van Dyke Show"). As it happens, Julie Bennett (who voiced one of the women in the Provence scene) died of the coronavirus earlier this year). Strange how these things work out.
Anyway, cool movie.
