Life with Feathers



Life with Feathers is a 1945 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Friz Freleng. It was nominated for an Academy Awards for short episodes and films.

Cartoons became more in demand for Sylvester so Friz Freleng and Robert McKimson directed most of his future films. WB had prototypes of Sylvester but Bob Clampett and Friz Freleng came with a final redesign of Sylvester.

It stars an unnamed bird too and his only appearance. It was reissued in March 3, 1951 almost 6 years from its release date. Like most reissued Merrie Melodies at the time, the original closing sequence was kept.

Final cartoon to have 1941-45 version of Merrily We Roll Along.
