For The Mice In Our Audience: Have Any Of You Tried To Bell A Cat?

Time for one of the most notorious of Columbia's Screen Gems "Phantasy" catoons, "Mass Mouse Meeting."  In this one, the mouse selected to tie a bell-encrusted collar around the neck of the housecat spends roughly three-and-a-half minute talking to the feline about his new collar!  With story by Dun Roman, animation by Chic Otterstrom, and music by Paul Worth, this 1943 cartoon was produced by Dave Fleischer and directed by Alec Geiss.
