I remember when Family Guy did a spoof of this, with Stevie replacing Jerry
All they had to tell Gene Kelly was, “pretend you’re doing this with a mouse.” Fucking G 🤙🏼
Gene Kelly is a beast. Power, grace, confidence, precision.
Jerry has got some moves!
Great pastime! I need more wholesome movies in my life.
I’m impressed they were able to animate the character swinging around the actor, without CGI and without any artifacts.
Anyone care to enlighten me how this was done in 1945, with film?
Jerry was the mouse
Dude, 1945, it looks amazing, Jerry interacts with Gene Kelly so well, the movements are great, the reflection of Jerry on the floor is great, deadass some more recent cgi animation looks worse in details than this one.
This set seems like there should be a wizard in there somewhere!
These TikTok videos are really getting out of hand
One of my favorite old movies! Frank Sinatra co-stars as well.
Doesn’t get better than this.
Still astonishing.
It’s so dense. Every single image has so many things going on.
classic……
Incredible dancing, incredible animation. A true classic!
I may be in the minority here, but this is the coolest thing I’ve seen from the 40s after Max Fleischer’s Superman cartoons. Jerry is perfectly animated here.
They approached Disney first to do the dance number with Mickey Mouse, Disney declined.
