Now on with the show.<\/p>\n<p>Our story takes place in a village called &#8220;Veelage.&#8221; (That is probably the best name ever.) In a nearby lab, a one Sylvester J. Pussycat is guarding the entrance. Inside, several mice await their doom. And for anyone who is concerned that animal labs are hardly different from concentration camps, can rest easy. This one is okay because it says &#8220;Expieramento Scienteefic&#8221; on the front. (That&#8217;s reasonable) The other mice in town are worried and have set up a sign that lists the missing mice. (Two of which include Pablo Picasso and animator Manuel Perez, who ironically didn&#8217;t work on this short.)<\/p>\n<p>They would like to go save everyone, but they are not fast enough. Why not Speedy? Well, he&#8217;s in Guadalajara at the moment. He&#8217;d need a pretty good reason to come down. A mouse-ette named Carmella might do the trick. She gives him a call and he&#8217;s there in no time. (Pfft, men.) He agrees to help and walks up to the gate. He tells &#8220;El Poosygato&#8221; about how he plans to come in and rescue his people. Chuckling, Sylvester opens up the gate. Speedy runs, and slips right through Sylvester&#8217;s paws. (Leaving a bad case of mouse-burn, I might add.) Slyvester works fast and quickly sets up a snare trap. Speedy ends up dragging him through the little knot hole it&#8217;s threaded through. He brings the mouse back where he is immediately hugged by his&#8230; wife? Maybe? Whoever she is, it&#8217;s nice not to have all the females lusting after Speedy this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wackyland2.com\/blog-1\/2014\/07\/23\/2014-7-22-gonzales-tamales-html\/\">time<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sylvester waits with a rock, but Speedy surprises him and he drops it on himself. After getting more mice, they run out under a can. They hide by two more. Sylvester checks them all. The last one contains a dynamite stick. (The second one had the mice.) On the next run out, the mice dress as a dog to keep the kitty away. It works until one trips out of the disguise, exposing the jig. Sylvester chases but still crashes into the wall. Speedy sets some train tracks that lead into the building, and runs out pulling the mice in cars. (Speedy uses a cigar to imitate smoke. He won&#8217;t be able to run so mast for much longer.) Sylvester hides behind a tunnel with his mouth open, but the train comes out through his tail. That&#8217;s the lot then. Carmella thanks Speedy with a kiss and that sends him rocketing into the sky. (Pfft, men.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Personal Rating: 3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Mio Speedito is muy loco.&#8221; Directed by Robert McKimson.\u00a0 Released in 1960 I just want to say that this place has been getting fairly popular lately.
