From 1959, here is the last Herman and Katnip theatrical cartoon, "Katnip's Big Day," which was essentially a takeoff on Truth or Consequences. Made by Paramount Cartoon Studios in New York City and directed by Seymour Kneitel, animation by William B. Pattengill and Jack Ehret, sets by Robert Owen, music by Winston Sharples, and uncredited voice charaterizations by Sid Raymond (his last cartoon as the voice of Katnip), Jackson Beck, and Jack Mercer (who filled in for Arnold Stang as the voice of Herman).
This cartoon was loaded with excerpts from previous H&K outings, including:
"A Bicep Built For Two" (1955; director: Seymour Kneitel)
"Drinks On The Mouse" (1953; director: Dave Tendlar)
"Cat-Choo" (1951; director: Seymour Kneitel)
"Mousetro Herman" (1956; director: Isidore Sparber)
It was also the last Paramount Cartoon Studios entry made in Technicolor.
