When "It's the Cats" begins, Koko the Clown and his pup are running about town putting up posters for the show they are going to put on for the cats. As usual, Koko and the dog (who is only in a few films) are animated...the cats and theater are actual sets and cute kittens. What follows is a show consisting of some acrobatics, a diving act, some tableaus as well as a finale where the pair inexpicably release a ton of mice into the theater.
I have seen quite a few Koko shorts and love them. However, there is a bit less to love in this one--mostly because it's not as funny as usual. Additionally, it's less entertaining to see the character performing for cats instead of interacting with humans. An interesting diversion but not one of the better films in this long Fleischer Brothers' series.
