Mouse on the Attack

The slap-happy lion (from the cartoon of the same name) runs into a corner to escape a terrorising mouse. The mouse has generally just said “Boo” to frighten the lion, but now he launches an all-out assault, finally kicking him out of the scene and making him snap.



This cartoon is an attempt by director Tex Avery to see how many wide-open-mouth shriek takes he can put in one cartoon.

Bob Bentley, Ray Abrams and Walt Clinton are the animators in this 1947 cartoon. Frank Graham plays both the lion and the mouse.
