Cartoon of the Day: A Very Merry Cricket

A Very Merry Cricket

One of Chuck Jones’ spe­cials from the 1970’s, A Very Merry Cricket fea­tured Les Tremayne as Chester C. Cricket and Harry the Cat and Mel Blanc as Tucker the Mouse. Chuck wrote and directed this sequel.

Harry tells of Chester, a famous cricket who plays the vio­lin to soothe every­one. With all the hus­tle and bus­tle about New York around Christ­mas, it’s become com­mer­cial­ized. Tucker and Harry have to find Chester in order to put the spirit of Christ­mas back into the citizens.

This TV spe­cial was a sequel to “The Cricket in Times Square.”
