Continuity: When the basket first goes up, Little Blabbermouse is left behind because he was standing in one of the openings in the bottom of the basket. The tour guide provides him with a small pad he can stand in, yet as the basket rises a second time, the entire bottom of the basket is covered, and remains so for the remainder of the cartoon. more

Little Blabbermouse is an entertaining Friz Freleng musical cartoon, 29 November 2008
8/10
Author: tavm from Baton Rouge, La.

Just discovered this on the Misce-Looney-ous site linked from YouTube. In this one, a mouse barker who sounds like W.C. Fields tells his customers to take a ride in a basket for 10 cents. One little boy mouse who talks constantly bothers the Fields mouse but is tolerated by him when he offers his coin. On the ceiling ride in the store we see lots of products that literally live up to their names and many of them sing some popular songs that are in the Warner catalogue. I'll stop there and say what a very amusing and entertaining cartoon this was and with Friz Freleng as director it's no surprise how good musically this short was. One of the voices here is Thurl "Tony the Tiger" Ravenscroft who I didn't recognize as I watched this. Maybe I will when I decide to see this again...
