synopsis
The credits read "Technical Advisor: Mother Goose," but chances are that Tex Avery never let the old dear past the studio gates. Best gags: Jack and Jill go up the hill, and Jack comes down covered with kisses; the Three Little Pigs tell the huffin'-puffin' Wolf something that his best friends won't; a dog wishes on a star and gets a tree; and Humpty Dumpty ends up with a plumber's crack. The finale dispenses with Mother Goose in favor of a new spin on "The Night Before Christmas", in which at least one mouse is doing plenty of stirring!
