Slap Happy Lion
Directed by Tex Avery
Produced by MGM Cartoon Studio
A lighthearted cartoon comedy built on absurdist role-reversal, where a mighty lion's nervous breakdown at the sight of a mouse delivers pure slapstick entertainment.
The king of the jungle, after a well spent day terrorising the rest of the animals, is petrified by a mouse.
