The narrator informs us that Little Bo Peep has lost them, as she is wont to do in the nursery rhyme.
"Lamb" is a culinary term for the meat of a sheep that is younger than a year old. The word "lamb" can also apply to the sheep itself when it is that age.

Terrytoons is notorious for having used this kind of money-saving trick. A group of animals were cheap and easy to animate when they all came from the same design. Paul Terry called Disney the Tiffany's of animation and his own company the Woolworth's. Compare these wolves to the famously individual Seven Dwarfs or Three Little Pigs.

Barbells.
He seems biased. Wolves have to eat, too.
We may assume the wolves are not epicures.
Having a mouse live in a tree house, despite the rhyme, seems to offend comic logic. We have no ready answer for this. Of course this particular mouse does fly.
We submit this follows comic logic. The weapons can only be used when they are useless, i.e. when used against the invulnerable Mighty Mouse. Otherwise, a wolf must catch his quarry the natural way: by posing as a jazz-playing shepherdess.
Apart from this cartoon, we can recall no instance of him having this power. Contributors who know different are welcome to edit this entry.
She doesn't. Mighty Mouse may return the sheep to her, or he may decide she's an incompetent shepherdess and send them elsewhere. Unlike the ones in the story, these sheep never lose their tails. Thus, Mighty Mouse seems to have saved their tails both literally and figuratively.

We've heard cartoon fans call it an "ion trail," which may not be scientifically correct, especially since the lamb he carries on his back is able to walk back and forth on it.
No major distributor has released it, but several small companies have. This film has fallen into the public domain, which means that anyone can legally distribute a video copy without paying royalties. You may find it on any number of cheaply-priced cartoon collections. Finding a copy with good picture and sound is another matter. Shop around.
