Hoppy-Go-Lucky is a 1952Warner Bros.Looney Tunes short film directed byRobert McKimson.[2] The short was released on August 9, 1952, and starsSylvester andHippety Hopper.[3] The title is a play on the expression "happy-go-lucky".
The cartoon spoofs the 1937 bookOf Mice and Men byJohn Steinbeck, which was popular at the time; it features a giant, dimwitted cat named "Benny", who wants Sylvester, whom he calls "George", to help him catch a mouse to "hug and pet."Mel Blanc voicesSylvester andStan Freberg voices Benny.Sylvester tries to tell Benny the mouse is a king-sized mouse, but Benny does not believe him and threatens to "stroke his fur the wrong way" if he drives him crazy.
