A mouse tells the tale of how he drove a lion insane with terror in this Tex Avery cartoon.
It's a fine cartoon, and had anyone but Avery directed this, it would have been a classic. Avery's MGM cartoons, however, were so continually brilliant, that they have to be considered by the standards of his work, and so this one is just standard brilliant. It's one comic cartoon bit after another, in seemingly endless parade, until he's filled up the time limit, and it ends quickly. That's a standard feature of Avery's cartoons: it's series of gags linked by a situation, less than the story-telling techniques that almost every other cartoon maker used. True, there is a story of sorts, but that disappears under the constant barrage of jokes, leaving the capping joke at the end fairly weak.
Still, even standard Avery is among the best. If u don't know this one, it's tremendous fun.
