A mouse in Porky’s home disguises himself as Bluebeard the killer to get food from him. It turns out the real Bluebeard is in the house. The villain decides to chow down on a steak, only to find the mouse eating it, claiming he’s Bluebeard’s conscience.
Bluebeard tries to swallow the mouse because a conscience is supposed to be inside him. The mouse is a step ahead of the bad guy, dousing himself with tabasco sauce before Bluebeard swallows him.
First, some contented chewing.
Anticipation.
Extreme. These frames are back to back.

Sid Marcus wrote the story for his old Columbia partner. Animation is credited to Bill Melendez, Basil Davidovich, Emery Hawkins and Don Williams.
This one looks like a Don Williams scene, Yowp.
ReplyDeleteThis is likely Emery Hawkins. What's interesting about this cartoon is that it also looks like Davis animated a large portion of it himself.
ReplyDeleteBlue Beard's fate felt rather grisly instead of cartoony.
ReplyDeleteI think Davis is quite underrated when it comes to being a Warner director, granting that he only had about three years.
