The Missing Mouse (1953)

If the plot of this picture sounds familiar . . .

. . . it's no accident. Several Walt Dizzy films featured this "invisible" or oddly-colored rodent theme earlier, particularly in the Chip & Dale franchise. Of course, having a radio announcer reporting on a dangerous escapee from a lab or zoo was a recurring feature of Warner Bros. Animation, including a memorable outing with Daffy Duck and the Tasmanian Devil. Some say that duplication of another's work is the sincerest form of flattery. Copyright lawyers contend that appropriation of a rival corporation's intellectual property is the root of all lawsuits. THE MISSING MOUSE sure seems fodder for litigation.
