Video version available on YouTube. Please note that certain sections may not translate well to the audio only format.
In this Looney Tunes review, I team up with my friend Manny Cruz to discuss the 1949 short 'Mouse Wreckers', directed by Chuck Jones. Released on April 23, 1949, with a reissue on March 9, 1957, it follows mice Hubie and Bertie as they torment the cat Claude. I praise this short as one of Jones' masterpieces due to its exceptional animation and storytelling. We delve into the animation techniques used by Jones, such as his strong poses, and highlight the impact of the short, its trivia, and musical cues.
