It's Nice to Have a Mouse Around the House is a 1965Warner Bros.Looney Tunes cartoon animated short directed byFriz Freleng.[2] The short was released on January 16, 1965, and starsDaffy Duck,Speedy Gonzales,Sylvester andGranny.[3] The voices were performed byMel Blanc andGe Ge Pearson.
The cartoon marked the first theatrical pairing of Daffy Duck and Speedy Gonzales, with Daffy serving as Speedy's new foe. In addition, Granny is voiced here by Ge Ge Pearson instead ofJune Foray, who marks her swan song appearance as the owner of Sylvester; Granny would make one more appearance in aWarner Bros. cartoonlater in 1965.
Speedy Gonzales invades Granny's home and drives Sylvester to anervous breakdown. Concerned about the welfare of her cat, Granny calls on theJet Age Pest Control to remove the rodent. Daffy Duck is assigned the job.
When conventional traps fail, the determined Daffy decides to use a series of contraptions to capture Speedy. However, Speedy is always one step ahead of the duck, and Daffy winds up getting the worst of his machinery.
The final attempt sees Daffy try to program a robot with a card featuring Speedy's picture, but Speedy grabs a Daffy Duck comic book and fools the robot. The robot is seen chasing Daffy out of the house as Speedy watches and remarks to the audience: "It's pretty nice having a mouse around the house, no?"
