Reviews
Calling All Kin
This is by far the best of all the Mush Mouse and Punkin' Puss cartoons. Fed up being chased by Punkin' Puss, mush Mouse calls all his kin-folk who look exactly like him to confuse the poor cat. Using one of the 2 best background musical scores, the chase is on as Punkin' Puss races all over the house trying to get his foe. What makes this such a great cartoon are one, the chase is funny and fun to watch, and two, as Punkin' Puss' confusion gradually deepens, his sanity becomes more and more at risk, so it is a very realistic "adventure." Have fun!
