I like this unique camera angle given in this scene.
We're given some solid character animation with the two mice. Babbit's movements are very stiff but the hands are very fluid and well-drawn. Catstello has some funny facial expressions. This scene is just fascinating even if it only lasted a few seconds. If your wondering, Babbit says
"I'm ashamed of you. Where's your courage? Some of the greatest names in history have been rats." In the most spot-on Bud Abbott impression ever.
I actually only wanted to re-visit this specific cartoon again because it was restored on the Looney Tunes Collector's Choice DVD back in 2023. And back then I watched most of the obscure Looney Tunes shorts in low quality.
Anyways, I recently watched a few episodes of the Abbott and Costello show from the 1950s, and realized how funny, chaotic and insightful it was. So even if your into the comedic group like myself, I don't think it can get any better than this. It's a fine cartoon, but seeing these famous celebrities back in the day as anthropomorphic animals just gives me the creeps. They were in a total of 2 cartoons. The other being The Mouse-Merized Cat (1946).
