The cat creeps the fck outta me..

[deadlyshoesalesman]

I wouldn't want to meet that cat in a dark alley. Especially not if I was a mouse.

[Hunter Sheaffer]

It should be noted that just because you can leave links in the video, it is still not advised, as this breaks immersion and context within the animation in addition to being pretentious and extremely annoying. If you know trivia about the animation leave in the notes section, don't inconvenience the viewers by putting them on screen.

The annotations can be turned off and the movie can be enjoyed the way it was originally intended. The annotations add something extra to a cartoon that is already available on YouTube. And they make it is easier to argue against false claims of copyright infringement: fair use allows the use of copyrighted materials for "purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research."

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

[deadlyshoesalesman]

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?

[jgbennie]

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

[Steve Carras]

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

[D0S81]

the apache dancing mice on the piano was hilarious, especially after watching the way the proper dance is done.

[D0S81]

not only that, but thanks to the one saying to watch the real apache dance, it actually made the cartoon one funnier after seeing the real thing, which is also brilliant.

[RSLindsay]

Those mice seem familiar. I can't put my finger on it, but I'd swear I've seen them somewhere else...

Naah. Must be my imagination.

[WWChampion16]

4:12 They also used that in the MGM Happy Harmonies short Toyland Broadcast.

[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.

[lcramer6]

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