Sticking to the classics here is a nicely restored "Frankenstein's Cat" staring a very young Mighty Mouse. From 1942this animated short is the second cartoon short of the Mighty Mouse theatrical series, even if his name, and the series, at this point was Super Mouse.
A community of mice and birds are living and playing peacefully until the arrival of Frankensteins Cat. The Cat is nothing more than a mechanical cat who wants to eat so he picks a bird to take to his castle. All of the bird's friends follow the victim there but many are given electrical shocks when they confront the cat. A mouse who lives in a supermarket hears a distress signal on his radio and, after eating Limburger cheese, turns himself into the costumed superhero Mighty Mouse. As he flies to the castle, Mighty fights and defeats the mechanical cat as the head falls off and the bird escapes making possible another happy ending.
So enjoy this little gem and let me know in the comments below what you think.
