Thanksgiving Day, 1944, was also the release date of the Academy Award winning "Mouse Trouble." This one pretty much has it all.











There's violence in literature...

... an off-screen pummeling, a mallet whacking, broken teeth ...

...injury to the eye ...

... a gunshot wound that, oddly for a cartoon, hasn't healed by the next scene...

...forcing Tom to wear a ridiculous toupee throughout the rest of the picture (except for one brief moment.)

There's also an ill-fated romance ...

... a magic trick gone horribly wrong...

... and a huge stockpile of explosives, resulting in complete destruction and, finally, death.

What more could you ask of seven minutes of film?
