Circus Capers

For the video game, see Circus Caper.

Circus Capers is a 1930 animated short film made by The Van Beuren Corporation and distributed by Pathé Exchange. The film, which featured the characters Milton Mouse and Rita, the main characters in the Aesop shorts made in 1930, is part of the early sound cartoon series entitled Aesop's Sound Fables, though it is not based on an Aesop fable.

Released on September 28, 1930, it was one of the last cartoons to feature Milton and Rita before Van Beuren was sued by Disney to their similarity to Mickey and Minnie Mouse in 1931. The outcome of the lawsuit was that Van Beuren agreed to no longer use Milton and Rita in his Sound Fables.
