Señorella and the Glass Huarache is a 1964Warner Bros.Looney Tunescartoon directed byHawley Pratt (who also produced the layouts) and written byJohn W. Dunn.[1] The short was released on August 1, 1964.[2]
In a Mexican cantina, a man recounts a tale of "Leetle Señorella", aCinderella-like story set in Mexico. Señorella is mistreated by her "strapmother" and "strapsiblings", who prevent her from attending Prince Don Jose Miguel's fiesta. However, her fairy godmother transforms her with a stunning outfit and a carriage pulled by burros. At the fiesta, Prince Don Jose is captivated by Señorella's charm and they dance the night away.
When Señorella flees at midnight, leaving behind a glass huarache, Prince Don Jose searches for her. Trying the shoe on every girl in the kingdom, he eventually finds Señorella, whose foot fits the huarache perfectly. Despite the strapmother's attempts to sabotage her, Señorella is revealed as the mysterious princess and marries Don Jose.
However, the man's own story takes a less happy turn when he reveals that he is married to the strapmother. As his friend asks about the fate of the strapmother and her daughters, she appears and drags him away.
Señorella and the Glass Huarache was the final release of theLooney Tunes series before the shutdown of theWarner Bros. Cartoons division. The closure marked the end of the "classic" era, with the studio reopening later underDePatie–Freleng Enterprises andWarner Bros.-Seven Arts in 1967.
The cartoon featuresChuck Jones's iconic ending sequence fromNow Hear This andBartholomew Versus the Wheel, making it the last to include this sequence.
