Billy Mouse's Akwakade

Billy Mouse's Akwakade (1939)
Approved | 7min | Animation, Short, Comedy | 9 August 1939 (USA)

The title is a take-off parody of Billy Rose's Aquacade, and uses an ordinary bathtub, as aqua-mice perform aquatic ballet dances and water sports. The soap bubbles float downstairs to where the dog and cat are sleeping, who blame each other for the disturbance, and have a fight about it. When they learn the mice are the bubble producers, they go after them with a vacuum cleaner.

Director: Eddie Donnelly
