In this video, I review the classic Looney Tunes short 'Paying the Piper' (1949) with special guest Manny Cruz. We discuss the plot where Porky Pig as the Pied Piper drives the rats out of Hamelin but faces trouble with a disguised Supreme Cat. We delve into trivia, the fantastic voice acting by Mel Blanc, and our thoughts on the unique twist in this cartoon versus the earlier 'Pied Piper Porky' short by Bob Clampett. We also rate the cartoon and invite viewers to share their preferences.
