Boring, long, and too preachy.

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

. . . 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!

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.

This is an early (1932) attempt to have a cartoon in which the animated figures react to music. In other words, all their movement, from individual steps to slapstick-type stuff, all coincides with the music. In the '40s several cartoons won awards for this sort of thing, ones that feature Tom and Jerry or Bugs Bunny.This one wasn't advanced enough to have that cleverness and color that we saw in the next decade, but for a 1932 effort this is passable. Just don't expect to get any laughs out of it. It still has some entertainment value, however, and all these little miniature Mickey Mouse- lookalike mice are "cute."The "story" is just a bunch of mice enjoying a record, jumping on top of the vinyl disc as it goes around on the record player. Later, some of them play the flute and jump up and down on the drums. The second half offers some humor as one of the little mice falls into a spittoonI did think Al Jolson imitation near the end was pretty good. Also, instead of "That's all, folks," the ending was "So long, folks!"I saw this on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume Three. It was one of the "From The Vault" features on disc two.

This cartoon has the look and feel of a Disney cartoon rather than the typical Warner Brothers cartoon. The singing and dancing mice, their antics and the general layout and design of the cartoon remind you more of Disney than anything else, but Warner Brothers was in the process of developing their distinctive style and traces of it can be seen here. Very good cartoon with a fairly well-developed plot. Well worth your time to watch, it shows up on Cartoon Network's Late Night Black and White periodically.
