In this classic Western cartoon, Bad Bill Bunion's horse helps his master escape from Alcatraz Island Prison. Free again, the wily crook commits a series of crimes, including the theft of a football during a championship Army vs. Navy playoff. Mighty Mouse returns to clobber his arch-foe, sending him flying back to Alcatraz. Mighty Mouse even returns the football to the game! There's a great gag at the end involving Frankenstein's Monster, Count Dracula and lawyers!
A frog boy calls on his froggette sweetheart, who lives in a well with a bucket for a lift. He can't escape her family so, to be alone, they visit a fair and partake in the rides and food.
This one has lots of what Terrytoons are notorious for: cycles! And cycles of the commonest kind: ants harvesting and a baby factory! It also has a voluptuous Queen Ant and a sweetly delivered punchline which may make it worth your trouble. Withheld from television release; presumably because it leaves too many "birds-and-bees" questions unanswered for tiny tots (and their beleaguered parents).

A Terrytoons cartoon released 20 July 1945. A twisted version of some famous fairy tales! The Wolf introduces himself and explains that he's misunderstood! Red Riding Hood comes along, and the Wolf changes into his zoot suit, grabs Red and makes her do a jive boogie-woogie dance with him! Mighty Mouse sees this, and he clobbers the Wolf. Then the Wolf cross-dresses to impersonate Little Bo Peep, and lures a flock of lambs into his trap. He whips out a gun and makes the sheep take their wool off! Mighty Mouse sees this, and he beats the heck out of the Wolf. The Wolf then tries to get into the Three Little Pigs' house by pretending to be a cowboy. He calls for backup.
