This is a 7-minute animated short film that won the Academy Award 60 years ago. It was the first (or second) that featured Speedy Gonzalez, the fastest mouse in all Mexico. His pals really need him as a bloodlusty cat is guarding the local cheese factory and it has taken many mice from them already. Only their hats still exist. I thought this was a good watch with a couple funny moments, for example when all the mice sit in an egg carton which looks like a stand at a stadium and they applaud him. This cartoon also has a touch of Roadrunner vs. Coyote to it, mainly because of Speedy's velocity, but also because of all the technical equipment Sylvester uses to catch him and it backfires all the time, sometimes even in the truest sense of the word. Oh yeah and all that cheese looked really delicious too at the end. Good short film. Recommended and if you enjoy it take a look at the many more Speedy cartoons out there from the years after this one.
