Just imagine if they'd extended it out into the original story.

A fairly entertaining short in which Sylvester tries to become the Pied Piper to catch the mice, but Speedy Gonzales outdoes him once again. I think that my favorite part in "The Pied Piper of Guadalupe" was how Sylvester plays the flute and attracts the mice (or maybe when they keep conking him on the head). In a way, it seems like Speedy actually has a smaller role in this one than in his usual pairings with Sylvester. But Sylvester always has some neat things to do (as you may have guessed, one of them involves dynamite). So, it's not the greatest Looney Tunes cartoon, but I think that it deserved its Oscar nomination. I can't help but wonder what would have happened had this cartoon portrayed the townspeople hiring Sylvester to rid the town of mice; what could Speedy have done in that case?

In a way, we're all just a bunch of rodents.
