Better than "Ants In The Pantry", and it has better timing than the original, plus the supporting actors were better. My only problem with this short is that Shemp was not in enough of the pie fight in the end. 3 1/2 pokesEdited by - Mike Holme on 10/1/2001 1:42:23 AM

A much better short than the original "Ants In The Pantry". I agree with Stooge, much more funnier and the best remake of any short ever. Great scene when the mouse is on that string.
