The Million Dollar Cat (1944) - Tom and Jerry Theatrical Cartoon Series

I thought I should share a little known fact about the voice used in this cartoon. It is in fact Fred Quimby's voice that you hear. If you watch carefully, they cleverly allude to this in a side article in the 3rd newspaper. On the right hand side of the page, just beneath the banner headline that reads "Cat Crashes Society", they printed - "Production Chief to be speaker".
