Great cartoon

this is one of my favorite Chuck Jones cartoon.
A mean dog uses a cat and a mouse to go house to house, giving him food. Eventually, the dog held the cat hostage and used the reward money to buy a meat store, where the dog overate and is in the hospital for stomach pumping. The cat and the mouse arrives at the hospital for revenge.

Very unique cartoon, unusaully large cast of main

This is notable for its dark humor (more a Michael Maltese thing) and its somewhat larger cast of characters and its caricatures of various Warners animators, Chuck Jones himself included (BOTH as zookeeper and as the mouse doing the censored pygmy scene.) BTW It's said that Ted Pierce did the zookeeper (though now no longer reguarly writing for CJ which he WOULD during the Maltese tenure at Lantz for one of Chuck's last goos uses of Daffy, ROCKET SQUAD,and Pierce also wrote for Jones for one of Daws Butler's early WB appearances, BARBARY COAST BUNNY; Mike Maltese wrote CHOW HOUND and almost all 50s Jones shorts, Peirce still worked for everyone as a voice artist;also doing this earlier for Flesicher!!) .BTW That zoo curator sounded vaguely like character actor and Disney great Sterling Holloway, which always sounded odd next to J.T.Smith as the dog and Mel Blanc as most others.The mouse has a Mel Blanc-provided unique falstetoo,and some other interesting Blanc voices are the impression of CJ animator Ken Harris as the old man who owns "Timothy"..great rendition..and the cat's ONLY line, at the end is Mel doing his famed BUGS BUNNY "This time.."
Most WB cartoons only seemed to use three voices,and then usually someone "unqiuely disctive: (Robert C.Bruce, Dick Beals, Arthur Q.Bryan as Fudd) and one female per decade or half (at that time Bea Benaderet), or two such maleactors of the typedescribed above or one and a Blanc-like multiple voicer. This seemed to have four,incl.Ted Pierce, the (by that time!) no longer-Jones-used writer, who WAS making the trip from Friz Freleng (where he'd been with along with MichaelMaltese at first) AND Chuck Jones (early-middle 1940s),then as the writer-directing paired off, coicinding with Jones-Maltese in 1947
to Robert McKimson--after some writing for Jones solo, thru 1948's "You Were Never Duckier", which incidentally was the FIRST (and possibly in production terms as well) released "post-1948 library" Warner Bros.cartoon done--to say nothing of the Warren Foster situatioon (working for MckImson then Freleng in the tradeoff for Pierce. In "Rabbit Every Monday" and a few others around this tiem by Friz, NO writer is creditedf and "A Bone for a Bone" credits EARLY TIME WB DIRECTOR and Bugs name BEN aka J.B.Hardaway.Of course Michael Maltese wrote "Chow Hound", despite the possibility of Pierce in this as a voice role.He must have had the biggest ominpresence of all the offiical "Non-actors" there in the 30s-60s as a voice artist, with only Tex Avery a second-and then not as often as he'd like folks to beleive---AVery's sepcialty wass a hippo).
John Smith,who did the dog, did others ("Homeless Hare"'s and "No Parking Hare"'s construction worker, "Bunny Hugged"'s wrestler and "Forward March Hare"'s Sarge,all also in the early fifties), in the same voice. Smith was alsothe dopey one of the two hillbillies in "Hillbilly Hare" (1950) and in "There Auto be a law"released some years later, he did a folksy narrator.
