About The Night Watchman
A little cat must take his sick father's place as night watchman, but is bullied by a tough mouse and his gang, leaving the rest of the mice free to eat all the food and stage a musical floor show.
Directed by Chuck Jones, The Night Watchman leans on a strong ensemble — Mel Blanc, Margaret Hill-Talbot — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1938.
