This cartoon, with a very basic and not very significant plot, is loads of fun and very nice to look at. Because I do want to touch on the short to some degree, there are mild spoilers:
The title basically says it all-the protagonists are the Three Blind Mouseketeers and they are "all for one and one for all" when it comes to finding cheese. Captain Katt (think of "Pegleg" Pete done up as a cat) has sworn that, tonight, he's finally going to trap and destroy the Three Blind Mouseketeers, so he sets traps everywhere, hides inside a split barrel-and promptly falls asleep.
The Mouseketeers, in the meantime, through fortuitous circumstances, manage to repeatedly slip through and around the traps with nary a scratch on them, many of the gags being excellently timed animation, frequently timed to the beat. There's one particularly nice bit of animation, where one of the mice becomes isolated from the others and Captain Katt is coming toward him when he starts yelling to his comrades as though he's surrounded by an army, which in a sense, he is-he's standing in front of a great many pieces of reflective glass, each of which has a tiny mouse dressed astonishingly like him and brandishing a sword. Captain Katt is overwhelmed and turns to run. Add in a large quantity of exploding corks from bottles and Captain Katt is once again routed by the Three Blind Mouseketeers.
This short is available on the Disney Treasures More Silly Symphonies DVD release and it and the set are recommended.
