Mouse about town

The Country Cousin (1936)

Directed by Wilfred Jackson this cartoon is inspired by one of Aesop's Fables. A mouse from the countryside comes to visit his cousin who lives in the big city.

This is a pretty simple cartoon that has some fun exploring the excesses of city living. Not really sticking closely to it's source material this is still an entertaining short. The animation style is good but on par with the Disney style of the period.


3/5
