Fontaine Fox

A bantamweight boxer has moved to Toonerville with his sissy-looking but well-trained son. When he gets into a dispute with Mickey Maguire, nothing will settle the matter but a meeting in the squared ring.

Mickey and the gang become fire fighters. Features ridiculous stunts (including a car getting hit by a train, and Spencer Bell sharing a scene with a live lion).

Mickey and the gang wind up in Harold Lloyd territory, when the kids work as window washers on a dangerous skyscraper.

The second short from the "Mickey McGuire" film series. The series was based on Fontaine Fox's popular comic strip "Toonerville Trolley". "Mickey McGuire" was a popular rival to Hal Roach's Our Gang series. Perhaps the most notable note about the series is that it launched Mickey Rooney's film career. The film follows Mickey McGuire (Rooney) and his pals as they start a "Pet Xchange".

Mickey McGuire is putting on a bad performance of Uncle Tom's Cabin, but first he has to deal with the competition; another boy is putting on a wild animal show -- house cats inflamed by the "tamer" having white mice in his trousers.

Mickey and the gang get ready for a big game of football. But Stinky Davis has a few tricks up his sleeve to stop the gang from winning. Special guest star USC coach Howard Jones.

Mickey Rooney -- credited as McGuire, as he would be through the run of the series -- inducts a new member into the gang, tries to put little brother Billy Barty to bed for a nap, and wins a basketball game against Stinky Davis' team in this episode of the series.

The final Mickey McGuire comedy finds Mickey and the gang putting together a medicine show in order to help out Hambone's Uncle Nemo.

Mickey and the gang go game hunting, and come across a live lion. No, seriously, we see eight year old Rooney share a scene with a real lion.

Mickey and the gang put on their own circus, but Stinky Davis and his pals constantly try to disrupt it.

A sound remake of "Mickey's Eleven", in which the gang play yet another game of football against Stinky Davis.

One of the last silent shorts in the series. Stinky invites Mickey and company to his rodeo. Plenty of lassoing, horse riding, and even a head-butting contest between Hambone and a goat!

Mickey and the gang go prospecting, but find themselves in a haunted house.
