Remake as Cat's Meow:
Ventriloquist Cat was later remade in CinemaScope as Cat's Meow, which was released on January 25, 1957. It was one of two Avery MGM cartoons to have been reworked in the widescreen format (the other was the 1949 Droopy cartoon Wags to Riches, which was redone as Millionaire Droopy); as Avery himself was long gone from MGM at the time of these remakes, the new versions were worked on by the Hanna-Barbera unit, despite having Avery's name credited on the title card.
