Trivia

  • The shot of Wakko playing the rimshot after the Christie Brinkley joke is reused from "Taming of the Screwy".

Goofs

  • Picasso speaks with a French accent in the cartoon, probably because the animators mistaken the fact he worked in France as his birthplace. In actuality, Picasso was a native of Spain.

Quotes

Dot: I would be a great model. What does Christie Brinkley have that I don't have?
Yakko and Wakko: Billy Joel?
Yakko: Did you know there's "P.P" on your smock?"
Dot: Disgusting!
Pablo Picasso: No, no! P.P. stands for Pablo Picasso!
Pablo Picasso: I painted these in my Blue Period and these in my Rose Period.
Yakko: What is next, your Plaid Period?
Dot is dressed in a tartan
Dot: Plaid? Yah, I can do plaid!
Yakko: I’ve got the beans!
Wakko: I’ve got the ketchup!
Dot: (shakes her bottom) I’ve got the buns!
Yakko: Says you!

Les Miseranimals

Animation by Tokyo Movie Shinsha, Ltd.

Plot

In France, Runt is captured by the Pound (he was set up and wrongly accused of stealing a bone from a guard dog, Camenbert) and Rita is captured along with many other cats by a restaurant that serves no meat. The chef of the restaurant, Tristesse quickly plans to repair his restaurant’s reputation by making all his cats part of a new recipe. The other stray cats (a slightly pudgy yellow cat, an orange cat with dark red stripes, a Tonkinese and a gray/beige kitten in particular) are soon praying for Rita to be put in the recipe.

As Rita waits for her end, it turns out that Runt has escaped the pound and is coming to the rescue with a pack of poodles. During and even after the rescue, Tristesse and Camenbert turn up and attempt to inference, but both meet their comeuppance when Tristesse accidentally causes the pen he kept the stray cats in to collapse next to Camenbert and with him inside. After that, Rita, Runt, the cats and the poodles freely move on to Paris.

Trivia
