"Speedy Gonzales" wins Oscar for Best Animated Short 1956


Speedy Gonzales, the second appearance of the fastest mouse in all of Mexico, won the Academy Award for Best Short Subject - Cartoons at the 28th ceremony March 21, 1956.  It featured Mel Blanc as the voice of Speedy and was directed by Friz Freleng.

Speedy first appeared as a prototype in Cat-Tails for Two in 1953.

I could only find the short film in color without sound, or without color with sound.  I preferred to hear what was going on, so here it is.
