Here's why you never tear your prescriptions in half! "Naughty but Mice," was the 1939 debut of Sniffles the Mouse, one of Chuck Jones' minor creations (actually, Sniffles' original design work was done by a Disney artist who specialized in cute, and it shows).

By the way: Notice that in the background at around the 2:20 mark is a box labeled "Radium Hair Pins." There's a story behind that reference.

Musical director Carl Stalling could never resist a pun like that.
