Late at night, the mice come out and sing and play to the title tune, among others. That is, until the cat arrives, but he's quickly sent packing.

. . . of America's "Far Future" (compared to when IT'S GOT ME AGAIN was created and released in 1932) to Rise Up & Rebel against our KGB Red Commie Foreign Oppressors, slated to Take Over America next week. An event as momentous as England's Norman Invasion of 1066 has required more than one warning from Warner Bros.' Animated Shorts Seers division (aka, the Looney Tuners). These Prognosticators Non Pareil have churned out countless alarms about America's upcoming Calamities, Catastrophes, Cataclysms, and Apocalypti, most if not all of which have gone largely unheeded. Some Warnologists (or specialists for the interpretation of these Nostradamus-like prophecies, only far more accurate than Mr. N's over-rated rantings) see the One Per Center Ferociously-Fanged Fat Cat depicted terrorizing we 99 Per Center Mice in IT'S GOT ME AGAIN as representing Big Medicine and Bloated Pharmaceuticals, from whose Evil Clutches our Champion Obama rescued us a decade ago. Soon, however, Big Medicine and it's Evil Twin, Big Medical Insurance will be murdering ordinary average normal Americans again, just like in the Bad Old Days, in accordance with the new American Czar KGB Chief Vlad "Mad Dog" Putin's master plan for his MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE (or, as some would say, multi-billion dollar deluded loan shark "victim") the puppet Rump.However, Warner's Looney Tuners seem to be telling us that all is not lost IF we let our guard down and allow this vicious cat to come into the Castle of Our Homeland from out of the cold rain by sliding down our chimney. It's the Sacred Duty, Warner tells us, of every 99 Per Center Mouse (something that presumably especially applies to the Silent Majority who did NOT fall for Putin's Fake News and Rig the Election for Rump!--as denoted here by the mouse who clumsily nods off, falls into the Yucky Spitoon, and then thoughtlessly wakes up the cat by blowing into a Sousaphone!) TO FIGHT BACK, by any means necessary.The mice attack the Putin\Rumpster Cat with EVERYTHING they've got. They take on this symbol of the Fat Cat Billionaire Oligarchs with projectiles (drum sticks fired by violin bows), flame-throwers (scent spray manipulated McGiver-style), and machine guns (using the record needles prevalent back in Great Grandpappy's 1900s Heyday for ammunition). So go ahead, Warner suggests, and ACT NOW, before it's too late and all of your parents and grandparents and siblings with cancer and other Pre-existing Conditions start getting bulldozed into mass graves as Putin smirks. YOU know which of your neighbors had Rump\Scents campaign signs in their yards, or Rump\Scents bumper stickers, or shot off their mouths about donating money to help the Red Commie KGB Death Star machine to invade America. Next time you see them make Citizens' Arrests on the charge of Conspiracy to Commit High Treason against the USA. Do this especially if they're Active Duty or Ex-Military, as these individuals have all taken the Oath to Preserve and Defend America's Constitution, so they cannot mount a defense stating that they acted in Ignorance. The German majority in the 1930s all decided to "go along to get along," and did not make waves for Der Fuehrer. Most of them died during the decade of World War II, along with 50 million innocent people. MORE is at stake this time, IT'S GOT ME AGAIN! warns us. Fight back! Rebel!

Cartoon It's got me again has a mouse and his friends entering the store, when a cat barges in to eat a mice. The mice friends attack the cat with the store supplies until he runs out of the store.The cartoon fell into the public domain in 1961 when United Artists, successor to AAP, the owner of the shorts from 1956-58, failed to renew the copyright. The cartoon was nominated for an Oscar but did not win. It is notable as the first WB cartoon to be nominated and one of three nominated cartoons without a DVD release. 5/10, eh, recommended for historical content. It's not all that interesting, but a one time view is recommended. As most of the Harman-Ising cartoons were.

'It's Got Me Again' was the first Looney Tune to be nominated for an Academy Award and it's easy to see why. A classy, atmospheric short, 'It's Got Me Again' stars a gang of Mickeyesque mice who come out to play one night, making music and dancing together (including some reused footage from the third Looney Tune 'Hold Anything'). There's lots of fun sequences leading up to the appearance of a cat who threatens to end the celebrations. The arrival of the cat leads to the best part of the cartoon, an Al Jolson routine by a cornered mouse who performs the title song with impassioned desperation. Of course, the mice team up to dispose of the feline antagonist. 'It's Got Me Again', like most of the early Looney Tunes, has a simple premise but does plenty with it. It's a deeply satisfying picture which feels like a classic in many ways. Although it may bore some modern audiences, fans of animation will no doubt delight in its invention.

It's Got Me Again! (1932) *** 1/2 (out of 4) Oscar-nominated short has various mice singing and dancing but the mood changes when an angry cat shows up. I'm somewhat surprised Disney didn't go after this film because the mice certainly share a resemblance to Mickey Mouse. With that said, this is a very fast paced and funny film that has some great animation. The song and dance numbers are all pretty good and the cat is a great villain. This is also a pretty dark film so it might scare some of the kids watching.Turner Classic Movies shows this quite often.
