Here, we have toon versions of Jack Benny & Rochester with Jack as the cartoon's eponymous character and Rochester as the tricky black crow Buzzy. However, these characters are not actually voiced by Benny and Rochester. Jackson Beck provides an amusing "Rochester-like" voice for Buzzy. I don't know who does the Jack Benny-like voice for the cat. When this Famous Studios cartoon was released in l947, The Jack Benny Program was one of the most popular radio shows in America. // Buzzy is more known for his comic book appearances which were published for many years by Harvey Comics. The comic book stories are faithful adaptations of his cartoons. In this cartoon, as in the comic book stories, a cat is trying to eat Buzzy and the crow outsmarts the cat. // Basing the characters' voices on popular radio characters makes them appealing. Jackson Beck voiced many characters in Famous' cartoons and his vocal characterization for Buzzy is just as appealing as the voice he provided for Bluto in Famous' Popeye series.// Famous put out their best cartoons during the l940's and this one is no exception. The studios is notorious for putting out cartoons featuring mindless violence that was sometimes more disturbing than funny, but that was characteristic of most of the cartoons the studio produced after l950. Animation fans who dislike Famous' cartoons might find this one a pleasant surprise.
