Highly Overrated But Still Good

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Fed up of the mess being cause by Jerry the mouse, Mammy Two Shoes give her two cats, Tom and Butch, an ultimatum... the one of them who catches the mouse can stay; the other is out! They quickly start searching the house and are joined by Jerry; when they actually realise he is right there they start fighting over him. What follows isn't totally unexpected but is still funny; they have a duel, a boxing match and even try to disguise them selves as Mammy Two Shoes... with the inevitable results!There is plenty to laugh at here although the generic setting makes it a fairly forgettable entry in the series. Highlights were the duel where only one of them had a real gun and later when they took turns dressing up as Mammy Two Shoes to trick each other then attacked the real Mammy Two Shoes thinking it was the other cat! The animation was as sharp as one would expect from the era and Lillian Randolph is great as the voice of Mammy Two Shoes.

The story is on the predictable side of things, but in my opinion everything else works. This is a very good example of a cartoon where nobody(not counting Mammy Two Shoes), and this was a nice sort of change I feel. The animation is colourful and solid-looking, the music is rousing, Mammy Two Shoes's dialogue is good and didn't interfere too much and the sight gags are constantly amusing. I also liked how quick the cartoon went as well. Tom and Butch are funny, and Jerry is a great foil for them.Overall, A Mouse in the House is a little predictable but still funny with a refreshing ending. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Tom and 'ex-arch-enemy-turned-best-friend' Butch, are read the riot act by Mammy Two Shoes, who is fed up with the mouse that is raiding her fridge. She tells the two useless felines that whoever fails to catch the rodent will be turfed out of the house. Naturally, this pits the two moggies against each other in a battle to capture poor Jerry.Not terrible, but way too predictable to be anything special, A Mouse in the House features the usual plethora of slapstick and violence, without adding anything particularly new to the formula.A fun ending, which sees both cats AND Jerry booted out the front door, ends the action on a satisfying note, but it's not enough to make this cartoon worth recommending.

In this cartoon Mammy-Two-Shoes (not dubbed to be less 'offensive' in the one I saw) is devastated to learn that there is a mouse in the house and he's eating all the food and making a mess. So far, so typical. She gives the two lazy cats (Tom and someone else who isn't named) and ultimatum-the one that catches Jerry will not be thrown out.Cue the usual chases around the house and tricks using household objects in a cartoon that is so generic and formulaic it's almost a cut and paste of many other T&J shorts strung along in succession for 7 minutes. Yes, there are laughs, but it's utterly forgettable and average at best.
