funniest thing about 'Opposites Attract' is you'd naturally think it was inspired primarily by Who Framed Roger Rabbit. no. its inspiration draws mostly from 1945 film Anchors Aweigh featuring Gene Kelly and a segment where he dances with Jerry Mouse www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHCs...

and he did the same thing with Stewie Griffin

seth mcfarlane goes fucking apeshit for oldass musicals nobody else has ever watched. it is easily his favorite thing

the full shipoopi number is an all-timer

I have had this thing scratching at the back of my mind for so long it's honestly delightful, the animation for Jerry is kind of incredible especially for the time, I'm not even sure if I can think of animation over live-action from the era that is even all that close

also when Jerry started speaking I had a tiny version of the nostalgia critic in my brain having an aneurism over talking Tom & Jerry in the 90's feature
