What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • Made in 1947: an older pace and style.

A hungry cat has the idea of giving "Jumbo Gro" fertilizer to a scrawny canary to make him a bigger meal, which leads to a race between the cat, the canary, a dog, and a mouse to see who can grow the biggest.
