Trap Happy Porky is a 1945Warner Bros.Looney Tunes short directed byChuck Jones and written byTedd Pierce.[1] The short was released on February 24, 1945, and featuresPorky Pig, along withHubie and Bertie, an early version ofClaude Cat and a prototype ofHector the Bulldog.[2]
AtUncle Tom's Cabin, Porky is trying to get some sleep, but mice Hubie and Bertie are down there stealing food and breaking things against his will. He tries to capture them with a simple mousetrap, but fails as the mice prove to be too smart for him. He then gets a cat and it throws the mice out with his contraption.
Porky keeps the cat and goes to sleep, but the cat invites other cats to getintoxicated, play the piano and drunkenly sing "Moonlight Bay". After failing multiple times to throw them out, Porky buys a bulldog from town to get rid of them, but the dog also gets drunk and sings with the cats instead, singing "When Irish Eyes are Smiling". With no other options remaining, Porky resigns to the old saying of "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em", singing along with the dog and the cats.
Trap Happy Porky is available unedited and restored with its original opening and closing titles onLooney Tunes Mouse Chronicles: The Chuck Jones Collection.
