Synopsis
Bad Luck Blackie (1949) is a Tex Avery cartoon short you can watch online on iFILM — seven minutes of pure hand-drawn anarchy from MGM.
A tiny kitten is being bullied by a brutish bulldog until a black cat from the "Black Cat Bad Luck Company" steps in. Every time the cat crosses the dog's path, something heavy drops out of the sky onto the bully — a flowerpot, an anvil, eventually a whole steamship. The gags snowball in classic Avery fashion, each one bigger and more ridiculous than the last. It's one of the director's best-loved shorts and a benchmark of golden-age American animation.
