Freudy Cat is a 1964Warner Bros.Looney Tunes animated short directed by Robert McKimson.[2] The short was released on March 14, 1964, and starsSylvester the Cat,Sylvester Jr. andHippety Hopper.[3]
A paranoid Sylvester flashes back to earlier cartoons such asWho's Kitten Who?,Cats A-Weigh!, andThe Slap-Hoppy Mouse while describing to apsychiatrist that he thinksHippety Hopper is out to get him.
The cartoon is unusual in that it mixes a new soundtrack byBill Lava with music byCarl Stalling (while alive in 1964, he had retired six years earlier), which is heard during the original shorts that make up this cartoon. That results in a schizophrenic soundtrack (whether this was intentional, given the plot of a mentally unbalanced Sylvester visiting a psychiatrist, isn't known, but it is possible). Even more unusual is that certain prints of the cartoon contain stock music pieces byPhilip Green that play over numerous areas of the cartoon without removing the old soundtrack, creating a rather dissonant, overbearing "new" soundtrack.
