One of the things that set Mighty Mouse apart from the rest of the Terrytoons line was a series of operatic shorts in the mid-40's. Most, but not all, featured Pearl Pureheart and Mighty's nemesis, Oil Can Harry.
That won't be the case here, in 1945's "Gypsy Life". Instead, Mighty Mouse helps a gypsy tribe survive an attack by vampire cats.

I've seen this several times back in the day. I was never a fan of these mini-operettas.

I was never a fan of these either. These operatic shorts were spoofed in an episode of Ralph Bashski's Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures; during a climactic battle with a villain, Might Mouse suddenly stops and says: "Wait. This is ridiculous. Why are we singing??".
Ah, a moment of clarity, 40+ years later.
