King-Size Canary (1947) *****

One of Tex Avery's most inventive cartoons, involving a cat, a mouse, a dog, a canary and a magic potion, which allows them to grow rapidly in size. At one point, a big cat escaping from a huge dog is rescued by a giant mouse. Insanity rules in this hilarious and very cleverly constructed cartoon.
