History WesternAnimation / TinPanAlleyCats

* StockFootage: A big chunk of the cartoon consists of colorized and reworked animation from Clampett's previous film ''WesternAnimation/PorkyInWackyland''.

The film is infamous for being one of the WesternAnimation/CensoredEleven, but it is also notable for being one of Literature/The100GreatestLooneyTunes (much like ''WesternAnimation/CoalBlackAndDeSebbenDwarfs''). It was also chosen by the Library of Congress as a "prime example of the music and mores of our times" and a print was buried in a time capsule in Washington, D.C. so future generations might see it.

''Tin Pan Alley Cats'' is a 1943 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Creator/BobClampett.

A fat black cat (modeled after jazz pianist Fats Waller) goes to a hot jazz club, despite a religious mission urging him and others like him not to be tempted by wine, women, and song. When the cat goes inside the club, he ends up so taken by the music, he ends up in a surrealistic nightmare, not unlike Wackyland as seen on ''WesternAnimation/PorkyInWackyland'' and desperately tries to get back to Earth.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When the Fats Waller cat is about to enter a [[DenOfIniquity jazz club]], a preacher warns him not to go in there, lest he be tempted by wine, women and song. Unfortunately, the Waller cat is all for those three things.
