Little Cheeser is a 1936 American animated short film directed by Rudolf Ising. It is the 25th film in the Happy Harmonies series and the third appearance of the titular character.

Plot

Little Cheeser does not want to sleep. His shoulder devil motivates him to leave home and steal cheese, only to be stopped by his shoulder angel. The shoulder devil then makes him smoke a pipe, which is extinguished by the shoulder angel. The shoulder devil shows Little Cheeser lewd images of women and pours alcohol into his mouth. As Little Cheeser drunkenly tries to taunt a nearby cat, the shoulder angel and shoulder devil fight before the shoulder devil is locked into a copy of Dante's Inferno. The cat finally appears and chases Little Cheeser home. Little Cheeser regrets his actions and prays before bed.
