From Rod Bennett : This one seems to have been made on the cheap; very sparse looking with most scenes played against a blank white background.

From Jerry Edwards : When a cat attempts to capture a baby canary in a bird shop, the other birds band together to fight the cat. The birds use a blowtorch to force the cat into a cage and then use a coiled spring to send the cat and the cage through the roof and onto the flagpole of a nearby local dog pound. The first half of the cartoon is rather boring - a variety of birds singing in their cages. The second half of the birds fighting off the cat makes this cartoon interesting.

From Ryan : In my opinion, this short sucked! I hated all that bird squaking and for Heaven sakes, what was the point of it? If the squaking sounded bad on TV, imagine what it must have sounded like at the theater. My advice is unless you're a dedicated fan of the "Silly Symphony" series, don't watch this short.
