Directed by Chuck Jones, "Chow Hound" is a great Warner Bros. cartoon about.........a greedy chow hound! He consistently abuses an innocent feline to bring him slabs of meat.............with gravy, no less! My two favorite scenes: First, when the dog grooms the cat and ties a large blue bow tie around the cat's neck, the musical accompaniment is "Baby Face". Second, at the very end of the film, after the dog devours an entire meat market and convalesces in a hospital, the cat returns (along with his mouse companion) and says, "This time we didn't forget the gravy." Oh, how revenge can be sweet! "Chow Hound" is one of a series of one-shot cartoons that appear on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 6 Disc 4. It's a really fun cartoon to watch!

Chuck Jones's 'Chow Hound' is a legendary cult classic, renowned for its extremely dark plot (from a beautiful script by Michael Maltese). It would make a great double bill with Jones's equally dark 'Fresh Airedale' since both cartoons feature villainous dogs mercilessly exploiting innocent cats. The main difference is that in 'Chow Hound' the villain actually gets his comeuppance in a gruesomely unforgettable final twist. To say too much more about 'Chow Hound's' plot would be to spoil it but special mention must go to the exceptional characterisation that Jones teases out of even the most minor of players. All three of the cat's unwitting shared owners are brilliantly rendered without the audience ever seeing their faces, a little mouse steals every scene he appears in and the villainous dog is a truly despicable and genuinely threatening presence. 'Chow Hound' is thoroughly deserving of its cult status and will remain in any viewers mind long after the chilling iris out.

Chow Hound is a brilliant masterpiece. Directed by Chuck Jones this cartoon is a masterpiece. featuring memorable lines. John T. Smith voices the dog, Bea Benaderet voices the women and Mel Blanc does the rest. the cartoon is about a dog who uses a cat for personal game for meat. It is a brilliant masterpiece . then the cat is known as Butch, Harold, and a Sabertooth alley cat. It's not a Chuck Jones brilliance but is still to enjoy. I think the dog should of went further then this cartoon. This cartoon earns an 8 out of ten rating because it is not that of a brilliance and it does not earn recognition. the dog is well voiced but come on the cartoon doesn't earn a fair rating but is an classic to enjoy a cartoon to remember for generations. Thank You for reading my comment.

All I wanted to do was make a simple comment on how this is a classic piece of Warner Brothers Animation. I didn't realize I had to make a separate summary on the movie. I thought I would be doing that with my commentary. The whole gag is classic. The Dog uses the Cat ( and the mouse in the cats mouth)to get free food. The line "And don't forget the Gravy" soon gets forgotten when the dog yanks the cat back to him, gobbles up the food, then slaps the cat and says " What?! No Gravy??" Like the cat had time to even get the food in his mouth in the first place. The truly classic part comes after the Dog buys the butcher shop. The doctors commenting on his bloated fat body, unable to even move and after they leave the cat and mouse letting him know that " This time we didn't forget the gravy!". Funnels are so helpful. Just classic. I wish I could get a copy of the thing. But with so many studios keeping things "PC" I don't think the thing will be out soon. The scene where the dog gets paid for returning the Saber-toothed pussy cat to the ZOO and the cat is trussed up and held by the mouse dressed like a ZULU Warrior would have a hard time getting by the PC police. Tragic really. This is a great little movie.
