Wikipedia article
'Three Blind Mouseketeers' is a Silly Symphonies cartoon based on the nursery rhyme 'Three Blind Mice' and the 1844 novel 'The Three Musketeers' by Alexandre Dumas. Directed by Dave Hand and Jack Cutting, it stars Billy Bletcher.
Plot
The three blind mice are disguised as musketeers in a cellar. Captain Cat (the devious cat) sets a number of traps for the mice and goes to sleep. The mice come out to search for food, avoiding all the traps. When they uncork three bottles of wine, the corks hit Captain Cat on the nose. Captain Cat wakes up and starts chasing the mice, only ending up trapping one mouse, who starts asking for help from the other two mice reflecting on numerous bottles. Captain Cat thinks he is surrounded by mice and runs away, falling into a multitude of traps that he has prepared himself.
