Movie

Ants in Your Pantry (1945)
Ants in Your Pantry IMDb TMDB
Mannie Davis
This one has lots of what Terrytoons are notorious for: cycles! And cycles of the commonest kind: ants harvesting and a baby factory! It also has a voluptuous Queen Ant and a sweetly delivered punchline which may make it worth your trouble. Withheld from television release; presumably because it leaves too many "birds-and-bees" questions unanswered for tiny tots (and their beleaguered parents).

Mighty Mouse and the Pirates IMDb TMDB
Mannie Davis / Connie Rasinski

A pirate cat has his eyes set on a beautiful island mouse princess. He and his fellow pirates kidnap the beautiful girl. When singing cat pirates decide to kill all the mice on board for the buried treasure, the natives call to Mighty Mouse for help. Singing his way from the skies, Mighty Mouse flies to the pirate ship, fights buccaneers to the death, and saves the young beauty. He returns her to her people, to their thunderous applause. Lots of opera singing in this one.

Movie

Loves Labor Won (1948)
Loves Labor Won IMDb TMDB
Mannie Davis
Many sight gags find their way into this story of Mighty Mouse coming to the rescue of a fair maiden. Oil Can Harry is determined to marry Pearl Pureheart. Mighty Mouse can't stop him because he is tied in front of a big cannon. Pearl manages to escape from Oil Can Harry, singing opera all the while. This cartoon is played like a chapter from a cliffhanger serial, with lots of action and suspense (and singing).
