Les entrechats

This was one of many cartoon shows I've watched when I was a kid. It wasn't one of my favorites, but it was still good entertainment for me at the time.

The show features, as IMDb puts it, the misadventures of the feline troublemaker while the Catillac Cats gang have adventures of their own.

I don't remember too much from the show, but it did create nice childhood memories and I did remember it being a funny show with interesting characters that will make you laugh and some fun adventures that will make the show pretty entertaining.

Grade B-

I used to watch Heathcliff & co. on the local networks back in the mid 80's. What I didn't know at the time (and most people still don't know this) Is that DIC's version of Heathcliff was actually an anime! more precisely, it was a France/Japan co-production based on an american cartoon Icon. the Tokyo Movie Shinsha animated it, and many anime legends worked on this, such as Tetsuo Katayama & Shigeru Akagawa(Space Cobra, Lupin III), Shingo Araki(Saint Seiya, Versailles no Bara) and Michi Himeno (Amon Saga, Sukeban Deka). on the French side of the Production were Jean Chalopin, Bruno Bianchi, and Bernard Diyrese. The English dub was recorded in Canada with the late(but great) voice actor Mel Blanc playing the title role. The storyline was pretty stereotypical, but then again, weren't most cartoons of this genre? I recommend this series to the young, the young-at-heart, and collectors of Retro-anime.

I liked so much this cartoon in my childhood Heathcliff catlac cats was jolly good and heathcliff's theme songs really wonderful. Who remembers theme song?

Heathcliff, you are one cat in a million. The late great Mel Blanc as the title role voice had me in hysterics every day afterschool at 3pm when Heathcliff would make his rounds and stake his claim in the neighborhood. Every episode you could expect Heathcliff was going to do something crazy, from beating up the Siamese twins, to getting revenge on the CatFather!! My favorite episode would have to be "The Kit Kat Club" Classic, except for that annoying Iggy. What's with the bowtie son? My all-time favorite cartoon.

This segment was the second half of the Heathcliff television series. It starred Riff Raff, a short big-talking orange cat who lived in a junkyard with his sidekicks, Hector a Himalayan cat who of schemed of himself being the boss, Worsdworth a white cat that spoke in rhyme, and Mungo, a big dumb purple cat. Riff Raff's girlfriend Cleo lived in a music shop (and she is arguable one of the nicest looking female cartoon characters ever). Many episodes revolved around Riff Raff trying to gain money to buy food, or try to buy something expensive for Cleo. Others involved the cats fighting off strangers or intruders that dared try to take over their junkyard. And why were these guys called The Catillac Cats? They were cats that had a Cadillac car. But it didn't just drive around. It could morph into a kinds of things: A hovercraft, a trailer, a submarine, you name it. The Cadillac really was what made the show unique, and is what held a child's interest. Sure Heathcliff & the Catillac Cats were for kids, but I am 17 and I miss this show, particularly the Catillac Cats (I found the Heathcliff segments very boring), and I wish they were back on TV. Yes, they are on DVD now, and that's wonderful. But only a handful of episodes are on DVD, and it'd be more satisfying to see every episode released. That would make one of the world's greatest Christmas presents.
