OK, why is there an old mouse with a bad foot exactly like the one in this MGM cartoon I saw?

[deadlyshoesalesman]

@Familygirl17 The producers, Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising, moved from Warners to MGM and recycled a lot of their work there. They even brought Bosko with them. Do you remember the name of the MGM cartoon?

How did you include links in your subtitles? What software did you use to do that? I've never seen it before.

[deadlyshoesalesman]

The annotations and links are a new feature of YouTube's. I love them. (Note that YouTube only allows us to link to other YouTube pages.)

Not in this cartoon. Blanc wasn't employed by Schlesinger for about another five years. My guess is Max Maxwell is the mouse.

[SteveCarras]

No, "jbnennie"'s right.Exactly who DID the voice is unclear..

[Themaniacnextdoor]

The rain effect is truely amazing. Almost no animators now and days could make it look so good with the tech they had in the 30's.

That part with the two mice on the piano at around 4:30 is creepy.

Guys, anyone remember "Porky Pied Piper", "He was her man" about a female mouse appleseller in the snow and her boyfriend Tony who used to beat her up? I also remember a blind mouse peddler who was actually a millionair living in a mansion with a buttler and all! I will always Love Looney Tunes and Merried Melodies!

@CountDisco1 has a shaky grasp of history. They were never ILLEGAL. The earlier cartoons could be booked and shown IF you wanted to see old, b/w cartoons. I remember seeing shows in theaters in the early 1960s where they booked old cartoons and comedy shorts and the place would be packed. They were shown pretty often on local TV as part of kiddie shows until about 1970 when kiddie shows were phased out and overtly racist humor was avoided due to public outcry.

I think its called Bosko's Parlor Pranks. They made it in technicolor.

Maybe like a few late 1936-37 Porky's, where Mel Blanc's voice was added after the release [so I've read], much later B;ancv's voiced was dubbed;like Mammy Two Shows being given "the June Foray treatment"-------but I doubt anyone redubbed this tabby here in re-release [that is, anyone from Mel Blanc on in terms of arrival at on the acting scene].

HEY! Mickey/Oswald clones!! HAHAHA! {Yeah, I know, it was the thirties.]
