Krazy Kat Goes A-Wooing Audience Reviews

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Hitchcoc Krazy Kat is romantically in love with Ignatz the mouse. He flies a plane to court the dangerous mouse. There is an ongoing routine of Ignatz throwing bricks at Krazy Kat. After an extended serenade, our hero ends up at the bottom of a pile of said bricks. This is basically a curiosity. We aren't let in on any of the motivations for the actions. I've never even been sure of the sexes of the pair. This is a presentation of the Library of Congress. It is in remarkable condition. Once again the stark nature of these cartoons allows the animators to focus on small parts of the setting. Ignatz, once again, is pretty much a line drawing.
Michael_Elliott Krazy Kat Goes A-Wooing (1916) *** (out of 4) Silent animated short has Krazy Kat jumping into his plane and flying to his girlfriend's house but he has a surprise coming to him. This runs a very quick two-minutes so you can't expect too much of a story but the entire film is just a set up for the final act, which I found to be quite funny. The entire film has a cute element to it and I also found the animation to be quite nice. Those seeking a historic element will probably find this more entertaining than your normal animation fans but you can look at this and see a connection to future cat films like Felix and Tom and Jerry.
ccthemovieman-1 This is sort of amazing in that it's about as primitive a cartoon as you are likely to find. Made in 1916 with no music or sound-effects - pure silence - we see Krazy Kat flying his little airplane (with the propeller in back, which I've never seen before on any flying machine) - over to his girlfriend's house. Her name is "Ignatz." There are bubbles that give us some dialog, as in a comic strip you'd read in the newspaper or comic book. Dig this first "bubble" "This is my darlink Ignatz's house."Krazy Kat serenades her but gets no response. "Ignatiz, I am waitink," he says. I won't spoil the surprise ending except to say that "Ignatz" is a mouse. A cat serenading a mouse? Only in the cartoons!Actually, this cartoon which looks like it is out of the stone age, has a funny ending and is pretty clever. This was the best of three bonus "out of the vault" extras on disc one of the Popeye The Sailor Man 19433-1938 Volume One DVD.
MartinHafer It really isn't fair to give these early animations ratings on IMDb because they are so different and so primitive. And you really can't blame them, as the medium was so new. Instead, I see them as important historical curios that should not be forgotten, though most modern audiences would probably be bored by them.This is a silent cartoon featuring Krazy Kat--who for some odd reason always seems to be in love with the mouse, Ignatz. Krazy Kat begins serenading Ignatz, but doesn't realize it's the wrong home. Ignatz sees what's happening and begins to pelt the cat with bricks. It's highly reminiscent of the much later Tom and Jerry or Itchy and Scratchy and gives us insight into the evolution of this dynamic.
