4	''Gypsy Life'' is a 1945 animated short film (7 minutes) directed by Connie Rasinki ("[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connie_Rasinski J. Conrad Rasinski]]", that is), produced by Paul Terry for the Creator/{{Terrytoons}} studio.

6	It's a WesternAnimation/MightyMouse cartoon. A UsefulNotes/{{Romani}} caravan--or rather, a bunch of mice that look like a Romani caravan--is trundling through the forest. They're singing songs and enjoying themselves until they are spotted by some really freaky looking cat-bat creatures. The weird cat-bats swoop down on the Romani mice, hoping, of course, to eat them until the heroic Mighty Mouse comes to the rescue.
7	----
8	!!''Gypsy Life'' provides examples of:
9	* FootPopping: The female mouse at the end of the cartoon as she and Mighty Mouse are kissing.
10	* GravityIsAHarshMistress: The female mouse is plummeting down to Earth, where the open mouth of a crocodile awaits. She somehow manages to hover in midair just above the crocodile until Mighty Mouse flies over and saves her.
11	* HaveAGayOldTime: One of the lyrics to the opening song "Gypsy Life" states that "a gypsy's life is ever gay."
12	* HotGypsyWoman: The one noticeably female mouse is drawn to be sexually attractive. She is busty and leggy, wears a yellow shirt with a red skirt, and shakes a tambourine while dancing to the music of another mouse playing violin.
13	* KidnappingBirdOfPrey: Well, they're bats--cat-bats?--but they swoop down on the caravan and carry off the pretty female mouse in this manner.
14	* MixAndMatchCritter: The bizarre cat-bats are bats because they have wings and they hang upside down from the roof of a cave. But they also have the faces and paws of cats.
15	* TheMusical: All the dialogue is sung.
16	* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: The last danger Mighty Mouse saves the female mouse from is falling into the jaws of a crocodile in a pond.
17	* SmoochOfVictory: The female mouse plants a big one on Mighty Mouse at the end.
18	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The female Romani--apparently not Mighty Mouse's regular LoveInterest Pearl Pureheart, unless it's Pearl in {{Brownface}}, so let's hope not--is the only girl in the Romani caravan. All the other are identically drawn generic mice.
