Snap Happy Traps

In Snap Happy Traps, a bear, troubled by mice, attempts to enlist the help of a tiger cub, mistakenly believing it to be a cat. The tiger cub initially frightens the mice, but soon loses interest in them. Instead, the mice have their own fun at the bear's expense, painting a glow-in-the-dark mouse on the bear's bottom to provoke the tiger. This leads to a series of antics, culminating in the tiger and mice engaging in a house-wrecking chase fueled by a steak.

The film showcases a whimsical interaction between the animals, blending humor with animation in a way that was typical of its time. The short features notable voice performances from Dick Nelson and Cal Howard, adding to its charm. As a collector, having this piece from 1946 in your collection could provide insight into the animation style and storytelling of that era, highlighting how animated shorts entertained audiences post-World War II.
