After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

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.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

. . . is that cats are a waste of space. This oft-repeated message is borne out once again in the animated short, MOUSE WRECKERS. Claude Cat is presented at the onset here as a highly decorated "mouser," with a whole trophy case documenting his exploits against presumably mechanical mice of the sort featured in feline rodeos. But as soon as Claude's exposed to a couple Real Life Rodents, he's driven batty in about five minutes. Most of us can picture the Pope sitting around in His ornate bathrobe, stroking a fluffy white pussycat. (Or am I confusing the Pontiff with SPECTRE's Number One?) At any rate, the Papal Representatives who have censored virtually every American flick released since July, 1934 (see *THIS FILM IS NOT YET RATED, a 2006 documentary) forced Warner to delete its original MOUSE WRECKERS climax, in which Claude gets toasted in the fireplace after the cheese. The Church was no problem with roasting Saints such as Joan D'Arc, but apparently Fraidy Cats must NOT be fried. I suppose the big fear is that Cat Nips might taste too much like chicken.

Looking for a new home, Hubie and Bertie spot a beautiful place and look in the window and see a bunch of awards and trophies for "Best Mouser of 1948.." Beneath the pile of trophies lies "Claude The Cat." How to get rid of this cat so "we" can safely enjoy this beautiful new house is the plan now for these two sadistic mice.The sadistic but admittedly funny and ingenious plans these mice up with a definitely fun to watch. They make the poor cat a nervous wreck in no time. I felt sorry for the poor pussy. (By the way, where were the owners of the house during all this chaos?)I agree with the other reviewers here: this is easily the best Bert & Hubie cartoon I have seen. This is original, good material and part of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume Two.

I never even knew that the cat in "Mouse Wreckers" was named Claude until I read about it on this site. But either way, Claude really suffers here, as New York-accented mice Hubie and Bertie pull a series of tricks to scare him out of the house. Probably the coolest gags are the stunt with the rope, and then the whole end sequence.Still, I can't help but wonder why it is that cats always have to bear the brunt of abuse at the hands of cartoon characters. It seems like there should have been some cartoon in which a cat makes mincemeat of a dog or something. But still, this is a great one.Claude really could have used some pineapple upside down cake at the end!

This is a tour-de-force in animation, as well as story line and character study. Hubie and Bertie make Claude cats' life miserable throughout this toon, eventually driving him crazy with the ceiling-floor switch. If you like to see the little guys prevail, this is a treat you wont soon forget. Never a dull moment in the entire film, and filled with belly-laughs from beginning to end. A million stars!
