Great Film overall

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

"Mouse Trouble" is a short film from over 70 years ago, already in color and with sound, and it features world's famous cat and mouse duo. Tom has ordered a book that helps him keep up-to-date with how to catch mice these days. Probably not a bad idea as he has failed so many times in the past. Sadly, Jerry is once again simply too smart for him and manages to get out of every dangerous situation and take revenge on Tom for trying to catch him. This is basically a collection of very short sketches, each one around 30 seconds. This is not a problem at all though as these are really creative, funny and also brought some new tricks to the table that hadn't been done in cartoons already. Interesting about this one is also that we see Tom with a ginger wig to hide his bald head at some point. I enjoyed it. The Academy obviously did as well. Thumbs up, this one is definitely worth the watch.

Tom once again attempts to trap Jerry, this time using a variety of ingenious methods which are described in his recent book purchase, entitled 'How To Catch A Mouse'.An episodic T&J caper (as opposed to the usual, single, prolonged chase scene), Mouse Trouble is basically a series of quick fire gags, which sees Tom's different traps backfiring in amusing ways. I use the word amusing, because, unfortunately, they are very rarely hilarious, being way too predictable in their outcome.This style of cartoon would be done much better (and again and again) years later by the brilliant Wile E.Coyote and Roadrunner.

One of Tom and Jerry's best shorts involves Tom ordering a book on how to catch mice. As Tom finds out, the advice is hardly fool proof and leads to some of the most memorable gags in the history of the cat and mouse duo. the toupee, the robotic female mouse, the pretending to read something uproarious gag, "Don't you believe it". It's all here. This short is excellence personified and a MUST HAVE for everyone with even a passing interest of Tom and Jerry shorts. This hilarious Oscar winning cartoon can be found on disc one of the Spotlight collection DVD of "Tom & Jerry" My Grade: A+

This cartoon won an Oscar in 1944 and it's easy to see why. Tom tries to use a book's advice on how to catch a mouse. Which works out very well for Jerry, but not for Tom! I suspect that the book was written by a mouse-maybe even Jerry himself. Tom certainly comes out the worse for wear here. I almost feel sorry for Tom. Almost. A very funny (and violent, even for a Tom and Jerry!) cartoon that runs frequently on the Cartoon Network. Recommended.
