A Close Call is a 1929 animated short film which is part of the early sound cartoon series entitled Aesop's Sound Fables. It was produced by The Van Beuren Corporation and released by Pathé Exchange.

Copyrighted on December 1, 1929, the film, like many other Aesop Sound Fables at that time, featured Milton Mouse and Rita as the main characters in this cartoon. They are featured in a more simple mouse-like fashion, than the more complicated human-like fashion in cartoons like Circus Capers. Despite being part of the Aesop series, it is not based on an Aesop fable.
