"I've got him right where he wants me now, son."

Enjoyable Sylvester cartoon, directed by Robert McKimson, and featuring two of my favorite characters from the Sylvester shorts: Sylvester Jr. and Hippety Hopper. The story is similar to all the other cartoons where Hippety Hopper appeared. The baby kangaroo escapes from the zoo (still in his delivery crate) and somehow makes his way into the home of Sylvester and son. Sylvester mistakes Hopper for a giant mouse and is pushed into fighting him by Junior, which leads to Sylvester getting knocked around for the remainder of the cartoon. It's a very entertaining short with some funny gags and those great "woe is me" lines from Junior I like so much. The animation is colorful with well-drawn characters and backgrounds. Carl Stalling's music is upbeat and fun. Excellent voice work from the legendary Mel Blanc. If you like Sylvester cartoons and, even more if you like Sylvester Jr. and Hippety Hopper, you'll really like this one.
Entertaining cartoon, with Sylvester and Hippety Hopper

While the story has its predictabilities, this is a fun and entertaining cartoon with a number of interesting gags to name a few. Also well done are the colourful, vibrant animation and the quirky music. Not to mention stellar vocal performances from Mel Blanc(as pretty much always) as Sylvester and Sylvester Jnr. It is Hippety Hopper, the ever bouncing but cute baby kangaroo who comes close to stealing the show, as Sylvester, as ravenous as ever mistakes him for a big mouse.
Overall, this mayn't be the best or the most memorable of the Looney Tunes episodes, but it is very fun and entertaining, as you would expect from Looney Tunes. 9/10 Bethany Cox

. . . may never have been truer than with Warner Bros. "Merrie Melodies" and "Looney Tunes" animated shorts. Several generations of American kids modeled their behavior upon what they saw Bugs, Porky, Daffy, Sylvester, and the rest of the characters peopling these cartoons doing on-screen. (And since the child is the parent of the adult--maybe "The boy is father to the man" sounds better--many of today's aging leaders have been molded by these Looney Melodies, as well.) That's why it's particularly distressing to see the gray-haired gent in the blue suit and black shoes casually ambling into your picture here 55 seconds into this episode, and smashing his large brown glass booze bottle on the sidewalk pavement of a residential intersection seven seconds later. When Hippety Hopper bounces by this thoughtless fellow, he'd have lost his glasses if they weren't held to his body by safety strings. But that's no excuse for plastering a public right-of-way with foamy beer and glass shards. What if a barefoot toddler stumbles across this spot two minutes later? Since the Public Enemy is also wearing a red tie, Warner Bros. seems to be warning us, "Beware of Repblican booze hounds."
