Hoppy-Go-Lucky is a 1952 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes short film directed by Robert McKimson.[2] The short was released on August 9, 1952, and stars Sylvester and Hippety Hopper.[3]

Plot

The cartoon spoofs the 1937 book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, which was popular at the time; it features a giant, dimwitted cat named "Benny", who wants Sylvester, whom he calls "George", to help him catch a mouse to "hug and pet." Mel Blanc voices Sylvester and Stan Freberg voices Benny.
