“I always feel better if I count my cheese before I go out for the evening.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Our short begins with Jack Benny-mouse practicing his violin. He must be pretty bad as the cat waiting outside his mouse hole is wearing earmuffs. He decides to quit for the time being as he is taking Mary Livingston-mouse out for her birthday. After getting his suit back from Rochester-mouse, he has a bit of time on his paws to go count his cheese. Mary arrives soon afterwards. When asked where she wants to go, she suggests the “mousecumbo”. (Laugh. It’s a pun.) That’s too expensive for our “cheese-p-stake” Benny. (Don’t laugh. That was lower than a pun.)<\/p>\n

The cat gets an idea and sends them a flyer advertising “The Kit-Kat Club.” It claims that entertainers are admitted free. That’s enough for Benny so he gets in his Mel Blanc car with Mary, and has Rochester follow the arrows that lead to their destination. Upon arrival, Jack is impressed that it looks just like a cat. It even rolls out the red carpet for them. Somehow the cat even got miniature tables, chairs, and exit signs in its mouth. Mary is disturbed but Benny only “cat-ches” on when the mouth closes. Cut to live action Jack Benny waking up. It was all a dream. He then sees two very familiar mice climbing out of the mouth of his sleeping cat…<\/p>\n

Personal Rating: 3. It’s pretty cool that the actual cast of “The Jack Benny” show played their fursonas. (Err, poor choice of words.) However, if you don’t know anything about Mr. Benny (shaaaame) you’ll be confused.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
