The Music Mice-Tro is a 1967 Merrie Melodies short directed by Rudy Larriva.

Title[]

The title is a play on a "maestro."

Plot[]

Daffy Duck, a movie star who is also heavily stressed, goes on vacation at Balmy Springs to get some rest and relaxation. However, when Daffy tries to get in the hotel, Speedy Gonzales and two other mice fans form a band and performs loudly, causing Daffy to stress even more. Daffy tries to lie down near a swimming pool, however Speedy's band continues to disturb Daffy. Speedy then attempts to make Daffy's stay more enjoyable, but he ends up hurting Daffy more, such as making Daffy drink pool water and warming a sunlamp so hot that he nearly burns. He tries to smash Speedy with the sunlamp, but he falls in the pool himself and gets shocked.

Daffy, on the verge of snapping, then goes for a game of golf. He gets a hole in one, but Speedy then shoots the ball out of the hole. Annoyed enough, Daffy really goes all in with Speedy. Daffy tries to blow them up inside the hole, but the hole moves away. Next, Speedy places a jumping bean inside a golf ball, which eventually Daffy swallows. As a last attempt to get rid of the rodents, Daffy tries to ram them with a golf cart, until he crashes. Daffy, driven insane from Speedy's antics, runs out of the suite and drives home, only for Speedy and his band to stowaway, much to Daffy's dismay.

Censorship[]

  • The version that aired on CBS during the 1970s and 80s cut the part where Speedy saves Daffy from drowning in the pool, then tries to dry him off with a sunlamp, only to burn Daffy, prompting him to hit his head on the sunlamp, which causes him to get electrocuted, and then tries to bash Speedy with the sunlamp, but falls into the pool with it and gets electrocuted a second time.[1]
