Not Jones at his best!

Warning: Spoilers
Director: CHARLES M. JONES. Story: Tedd Pierce. Animation: Ken Harris. Music director: Carl W. Stalling. Color by Technicolor. Producer: Leon Schlesinger.

A Warner Bros. "Merrie Melodies" cartoon.

Songs include "In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree" and "Yankee Doodle".

Copyright 19 November 1938 by The Vitaphone Corp. U.S. release: 19 November 1938. 7 minutes.

COMMENT: Thomas, the night watchman cat is sick, so assigns his little nephew to guard the household kitchen against a tough band of food-marauding mice.

Although originally intimidated, the little nephew wins the day.

A mildly entertaining entry, but the idea would seem to hold more promise than what is actually developed on the screen, namely fairly familiar fisticuffs, that are not particularly imaginative.
