This is a cartoon in the Willie Whopper series produced by Iwerks studio. There will be spoilers ahead:
This one starts out with Willie and his girlfriend Mary watching a neon sign ad for a reducing creme (a larger figure is in place, creme is poured over the figure and it becomes smaller). Mary wants Willie to try it to lose some weight, which triggers another one of his tales.
Cut to a cat tormenting a mouse. As the cat does this, Willie starts going after a jar on a high shelf. His efforts harm and annoy the cat, which retaliates by knocking over a stool, causing Willie to fall and a jar of reducing creme on his head and covering his body.
The creme reduces Willie to the size of a mouse, so the cat starts tormenting Willie. Willie spends much of the short fending off the cat. There's a minor romantic sub-plot between a man and a woman in a kitchen and it plays into one of the nicer bits of action and the mouse re-enters at the end for a nice bit of business, but otherwise, this is between Willie and the cat.
Willie finds a relatively novel way to regain his full size and thoroughly frighten the cat and then there's the end. I won't spoil it here.
This short, along with all the other cartoons in the Wllie Whopper series, are now available on a Blu Ray/DVD combo released from Thunder been. Well worth watching.
