First cartoons shouldn't be this good and Davis made a strong first impression here as a director, compared to his shorts at Screen Gems (outside of Little Match Girl).
There's a lot fun and lively scenes of a mouse beating up every feline Porky sends in.
Cartoon: "Mouse Menace" (1946, Art Davis)
This is a fun cartoon where we get to see Donald using hypnotic glasses to think Pluto is another animal. Here's there's some crazily great reactions and poses where Pluto gets hypnotized and acts like a mouse.
Cartoon: "The Eyes Have It" (1945, Jack Hannah)
Animator of the month is Manny Gould who's animation feels like a mix between McKimson and Scribner's works but with great use of wild takes and and big hand gestures. One great example is in this clip as Red Hot Ryder tries to slow his horse down.
Cartoon: "Buckaroo Bugs" (1944, Bob Clampett)
So when I was doing my Simpsons marathon, I wonder what was the best Sideshow Bob episode?
I know a lot of people will lean to Cape Feare which is an excellent episode all around but I wonder if anyone enjoyed the other episodes after or before that episode cos there were a few I liked as well.
This is my favourite Manny Gould scene where he animates the scene here where Foghorn Leghorn bumps Henery's grandfather with his paunch. Here, Gould uses drybrush to make Foghorn's hands move wildly while adding elasticity to his paunch bumps.
Cartoon: "The Foghorn Leghorn" (1948, Robert McKimson)

And here's Gould's work at Davis. Like Clampett, some great rubbery wild takes here, but trimmed out a bit seen here when one of the gophers smacks a pumpkin and shovel on the dog.
Cartoon: "The Goofy Gophers" (1947, Art Davis (started by Bob Clampett))
Examples include "The Great Louse Detective" and "Brother from Another Series" - two great episodes that explore a different side to Bob than just merely seeking revenge.

While this isn't my favourite of the Popeye Famous shorts, I do think it's OK. I do like Popeye's interaction with the Irish cop, especially here where he plays music using Popeye's pipe as one instrument then knocks him out.
Cartoon: "Moving Aweigh" (1944, Dan Gordon)
Another new trailer for Coyote Vs Acme - this one did give me a chuckle so do check it out if you haven't already :p

This scene along is Culhane's best directional works where Woody runs the man over with a steamroller. Notable part is where he opens the door and Woody bursts in with insane camera angles, cuts and paint strokes.
Epilepsy warning at 1:32-1:42
Cartoon: "The Loose Nut" (1945, Shamus Culhane)
