House Hunting Mice

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

House Hunting Mice is a 1948 animated short film from Warner Bros. studios running for 7 minutes and starring mice Hubie and Bertie. In their search for cheese, the duo wanders into a model "home of tomorrow" and battle against the automated convenience features, including robots who sweep floors when they detect any foreign objects. The cartoon was also the first to feature a product placement for Bic ink fountain pens in one of the opening scenes.

House Hunting Mice, among many other animated shorts, features the song "Powerhouse" by Raymond Scott when the automated sweeping robots pursue the two mice.

The short was directed by Chuck Jones and the voices were done by Mel Blanc and Stan Freberg.
