Sniffles and the Bookworm is a 1939Warner Bros.Merrie Melodies cartoon directed byChuck Jones.[3] The short was released as early as November 26, 1939, and starsSniffles the mouse.[2]
This is the third cartoon with Sniffles, although the plot is more in line with the "books come to life" entries from around this period.
Mother Goose characters come to life late at night in a bookshop, serenading Sniffles the mouse, and his bookworm friend (in his first appearance) with the swing song "Mutiny in the Nursery" byJohnny Mercer andHarry Warren, until theFrankenstein monster intrudes.
