Sniffles acts exactly like the bat in later cartoons. XD

JUST realized that Sniffles is the basis for Sneezer. mindblown

That little bat made the cartoon. I am amazed no one ever made a similar, "flying mouse", character as a star. Not necessarily so chatty, although it worked well here. God I would love to have had a car like that, makes a great opening sequence.

sweet mouse!

Sniffles, Chatty & that cat from The Night Watchman should team up. I don't know how long it's been since I've seen this one. I should upload Naughty But Mice (the 1st appearance of Sniffles) again. Such a great character.

You ever heard of Bernice Hansen? She was the original voice of Sniffles. Sara Berner was another early female voiceover for WB, prior to Bea Benaderet (the original voice of the Flintstones' Betty Rubble, through 1963) and June Foray.

Who did the voice characterizations? There are men who can do falsetto in a way to sound like like a little girl instead of Mickey Mouse with a sore throat, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was Mel Blanc.

he says his name is batty not chatty, even though he really is a "chatty batty"!

[fromthesidelines]

Sniffles was better known in his "Looney Tunes" comic book stories in the '40s, '50s and early '60s, where he was joined by a little girl named Mary Jane, who could magically become his size, sharing numerous adventures together.

Originally released in September 1941 (and reissued as part of the "Blue Ribbon" series in the early '50s). After this one, Chuck Jones decided to temporarily "retire" Sniffles...until two years later, when he reappeared- with "Batty's" personality- in "The Unbearable Bear". Even though Chuck later grew to loathe these cartoons, he kept making them through 1946. There must have been SOMETHING he liked about them.....
