Classic Cartoon



Here is a great Warner Brothers cartoon from 1959 ,"The Mouse that Jack Built", that is a parody of the legendary Jack Benny Show with all the mice being the cast from that show. The voices were provided by the cast themselves, Jack, Mary, Don wilson, Rochester and of course Mel Blanc as the Maxwell. You get to see some of the running gags from radio and tv like the Vault, which was for Jack's money but here its for his cheese, and its immortal guard Ed.
Jack and his violin, how cheap is Jack? and of course the famous take that Jack gives the audience.

One of my faves since I was a tad! This was probably my first exposure to Jack's main format. I remember his TV series and specials a little but by then they didnt have the weekly budget to have all the cast or running gags and on the specials they usually concentrated on guest stars. Love this! Thanx!
