One of Bob Clampett's last works before he started making his cartoons really wacky (see "Eatin' on the Cuff" and "Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid"), "We, the Animals - Squeak!" sure came out of left field. But this is also one where I notice that they gave Porky Pig a more interesting role than most of those that the stuttering swine had had during his first few years. Here he hosts a radio show and one of his guests is Irish cat Kansas City Kitty, who tells her life story. Specifically, the time that a group of gangster mice kidnapped her son. These rodents are some real thugs...but there's more in the works than meets the eye.
So while this may not have had the lasting cultural impact that Clampett's later cartoons "A Corny Concerto" and "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery" had, I still consider it worth seeing. If nothing else, it offers some neat entertainment. Like I said, better than most of Porky's cartoons during his first few years.
