Winner of the Academy Award for Best Short Subject (Cartoons), and one of the finest pieces of character animation of the 1930s. The country mouse's encounter with champagne is the celebrated sequence — a sustained, entirely wordless drunk performance that animators still study for its timing. The city-versus-country fable is Aesop, but the acting is pure Disney at its peak.
A drunk sequence, played for comedy, forms the centrepiece.
