The Flying Mouse	comment	"The Flying Mouse" is a 1934 Silly Symphonies cartoon produced by Walt Disney, directed by David Hand, and released to theatres by United Artists on July 14, 1934.The short starts with a young mouse testing homemade wings made out of leaves, to the great amusement of his brothers. When his attempts to use them fail, the mouse gets blown and his rear end crashes into a thorn, falling into a tub that ruins the laundry and shrinking her sister's clothing, resulting in the poor mouse getting spanked by his mother.After getting punished, he overhears a butterfly calling for help and rescues her from a spider. When the butterfly proves to be a fairy, the mouse wishes for wings, much to the surprise of the fairy, who tells him that mice aren't supposed to fly, but still grants his wish. The flying mouse initially enjoys his wishes, but his bat-like appearance causes him to become a pariah among the birds he worshipped as well as being unrecognizable by his family who locks themselves inside the house and don't let him inside his home by throwing water and stuff to him. Not even the bats are merciful of him as they mock him, making a point that he is "Nothin' But A Nothin'".Upon seeing the flying mouse crying and trying to get rid of his new wings, the butterfly fairy reappears and removes the mouse's wings, telling him: â€œBe yourself and life will smile on you", with the short ending with the mouse returning home to reunite with his mother and brothers.

The Flying Mouse / int_b11ac9f5	comment	Abusive Parents: After the boy mouse tries to fly with 2 leaves, he gets blown backward and his rear end gets poked by the thorn. He then dives and falls in the bathtub and splashes his mouse mother and his mouse sister. After his sister's yellow dress shrinks. The boy mouse is embarrassed and tries to run away only to have his mother grab his tail and spank his exposed bare bottom until it turns red. Later on, when the mouse boy is granted bat wings, he flies down and knocks at the door only to have his mother mistake him for a bat and attack him with a mop and throw objects at him. After the boy mouse has the bat wings removed from him, he runs home, and his mother accepts him back. It's strange that the Mouse Boy's mother would suddenly love the boy mouse and hug him after spanking him earlier for ruining his sister's dress and attacking him earlier.
