It was produced by Fred Quimby and directed by William Hann The Cat Concerto is a one-reel animated cartoon short subject in the Tom and Jerry series, produced in technicolour by MGM. It won the 1946 Academy Award for Best Short Subject: Cartoons.

Released to theatres in April 1947, be delighted by this timeless animation now in the comfort of your own home. You will really appreciate its creativity if you are familiar with Franz Liszt"s Hungarian Rhapsody no.2 on which it is based.

For good measure, I've included another Tom and Jerry that drew inspiration from another piece of classical music, which is an opera.

Finally, from the creator of Peanuts, Schroeder plays ......... Beethoven's Piano Sonata no.3.
