Some Mouse to Go With Your Spaghetti?
A modern viewer will find the jokes a bit baffling, since spaghetti is now as American as apple pie. However, in the 1950s, Italian food was something eaten by people on a cheap date in a big city -- at least according to TV, and pizza was an exotic novelty, which the venturesome might wish to eat cautiously, seasoning it with ground pepper. Oregano seemed like some Communist conspiracy.
Anyway, the boy mouse and girl mouse are in Venice, where everyone travels by gondola and spaghetti is sold by the yard. The cats are low-life types, who wear one earring or a scarf and kidnap girl mice into their basement lair. This means that this is largely like a lot other Terry/Aesop Fables cartoon of the era, with only a few jokes at the beginning to differentiate it. They're decent jokes.
