This was an ironic swch, bee Warners was angry wh Chuck Jon, one of their bt and longt-servg animators, for havg "moonlighted" wh a rival stud when he -wrote Gay Purr-ee for UPA the first place.

Gay Purr-eeWele!

Here’s the plan for today:1 — the story of UPA’s feature film Gay Purr-ee. ” Yet UPA unr Saperste would make Gay Purr-ee (1962) — one of s most visually darg and arrtg films om Gay Purr-ee — there’s an eye-poppg rtored versn on Prime VioIt’s not easy to acunt for Gay Purr-ee’s existence.

GAY PURR-EE (1962)

Gay Purr-ee is a style-as-substance film — one that’s almost shockgly nonmercial, although that don’t seem to have been the goal. Levow directed Gay Purr-ee alongsi UPA’s hour-long TV special Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol, but Gay Purr-ee was the stud’s “A-list” project, Van Cters explaed.

Based solely on the ia of g Imprsnist art this way, should have been clear that blockbter succs was out of Gay Purr-ee’s reach. The sign of the villao “Money Cats” is gen — they eely merge wh each other to form somethg like a sgle ’s not clear who the target dience was for Gay Purr-ee.

There are tense visuals every shot of Gay Purr-ee, but the mil scen take a step further.

GAY PURR-EE (1962)

”In Gay Purr-ee, sign creativy l. ”Gay Purr-ee’s budget was fairly low.

“He thought bee he ma Gay Purr-ee that he was the same class as Walt Disney, ” Haboh relled. Van Cters aga:Gay Purr-ee had a wi theatril release late November and early December [1962], wh generally posive reviews dampened by ments ncerng the weakns of the storyle.

In the end, Gay Purr-ee is much more than a failed blockbter.

GAY PURR-EE

Aga, Gay Purr-ee is a film whose existence isn’t easy to expla. By all acunts, Gay Purr-ee should be bad.

Yet isn’ the time, Gay Purr-ee was Ameri’s only mastream animated feature keepg up wh the athetic boldns g out of Europe, Rsia, Japan and Cha.

Eight years before Disney released their romantic tale of ts Paris, The Aristots (1970), Abe Levow directed Gay Purr-ee, a superficially siar tale set late 19th century France. Rtoon un, affectnately known as “Terme Terrace, ” and had jumped ship for UPA earlier, directg 1001 Arabian Nights for them, as well as the first Amerin ma-for-televisn animated special, Mister Magoo’s Christmas Carol, broadst the day after Gay Purr-ee was released theatrilly December 1962 (the ubiquo Mel Blanc, voice of all of the classic Warner Bros. Sadly, Gay Purr-ee abandons the anarchic, often surreal madns of the bt of the Looney Tun wh a more whimsil and nventnal humour and Jon, a master of the animated short form, fared ls well at feature length, stgglg to fill the 85-mute nng time wh tertg cint and allowg the story to meanr aimlsly too often.

GAY PURR-EE

Gay Purr-ee‘s visual masterstroke was the way the backgrounds often mimicked the styl of famo French artists (or at least those wh French nnectns, many of them post-imprsnists) like Pl Cézanne, Vcent Van Gogh, Pl Ggu, Cl Mo, Pablo Pisso, Augte Renoir, Henri Rose, andHenri Touloe-Ltrec. The effect is strikg and giv Gay Purr-ee a unique look, though sadly n’t rist the temptatn to brg the already flaggg plot to a plete standstill while lectur s young, and probably uldn’t-re-ls dience on the styl of each artist.

Gay Purr-ee was released a year wh no big Disney animatns on offer, between One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961) and The Sword and the Stone (1963) and UPA were obvly hopg that whout Disney play, the field would be wi open for a big h. Sadly, spe an ocsnally wty script, a unique look and that starry voice st, the cema-gog public proved stubbornly ristant to Gay Purr-ee and although many crics took to , was a box office flop. Durg s goln age, which stretched at least om 1951-'53, UPA produced some of the ft short films ever ma, any form, at any time the history of cema, films that will be studied and treasured as long as the movg picture self days were long the rearview mirror by the time UPA produced s send and fal feature film, Gay Purr-ee, 1962 (the film was fanced and distributed by Warner Bros., whose own animatn stud had been shut down and replaced by ntractors, cludg former Warner animators).

Phht, and to guarantee that his plan will not be terpted, he arrang for Jne Tom and Robpierre to be shanghaied as moers on a ship bound for film's not bound by any joyls logic, and good on for that, but there's a keen difference between this and the go-for-broke fantasy of the old Warner shorts whose anarchic energy Gay Purr-ee is seemgly tryg to mimic.
