I'll be honest,...You didn't like this one?<br /><br />I'll be honest, I always liked this one because I thought it was really nice to look at. Found the narrative bizarre, but not offputting.S.P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04485460299662743372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-76941470345615420512014-07-26T04:36:47.869-07:002014-07-26T04:36:47.869-07:00J.L., my stab in the dark was that Quimby enjoyed ...J.L., my stab in the dark was that Quimby enjoyed such success with the little French mouse, the studio decided to try a little Italian mouse.<br />The cartoon was originally named for the mouse, but I can't find my clipping from Variety which said what it was.

Never could find any link, but it is so different from the other T&J's of the time, you have to wonder what the impetus was behind it (on the other hand, if you were looking for a well-animated template for Hanna-Barbera's 1975 Tom & Jerry cartoons for ABC, where they were best buddies with co-stars who took up much of the plot time, look no further than this short).J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-3749043243481472022014-07-24T17:06:16.827-07:002014-07-24T17:06:16.827-07:00This is why I want to think this is Tom & Jerr...This is why I want to think this is Tom & Jerry in their off-hours but yes, pretty 4th wall weird indeed.Chris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.com
