The Haunted Mouse is a 1941 black and white Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Tex Avery. This film was the first cartoon written by Michael Maltese.
Plot
A cat is hungry and starving. He sees a sign that says ""Ma's Place/Home Cooking/3 Miles." He rushes into town at once, but neglects to read the part that says that the town full of 100 ghosts. One of the ghosts happens to be a mouse, who wants revenge on cats for tormenting him all his life. The mouse decides that the cat would make a perfect target for torment, and sets out to ruin his life. However, the cat is killed, turning him into a ghost, and the mouse flees the town.
Notes
- This is the first Looney Tunes cartoon to be a one-shot cartoon, as prior to that all one-shot cartoons were reserved for the Merrie Melodies series. However, the design, if not the voice used, bears a resemblance to Sylvester the Cat.
