Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

"A Mouse in the House" is an American 8-minute cartoon from 1947, so this one has its 70th(!) anniversary already this, maybe even its 80th depending on when you read this review. It is another Hanna Barbera production and as such a Tom and Jerry (and Butch) cartoon. This one features the cats' owner more prominently than usual as she has enough from the mess Jerry creates and tells the cats that only the one who catches Jerry may stay in the house. And we see a costume of her later too and again see her at the very end, which means this is a T&J cartoon with unusually much spoken language. But the animals are quiet of course in contrast to some more recent works that have the two strangely talking to each other. This film is at its funniest early on when the two cats listen to the speech chilling before panically getting up and searching the mouse (who helps them). And as strange as the dress-up part near the end felt, it still was funny eventually. This is one of the Tom & Jerry cartoons I liked more than the average,. some funny moments in here, even if the Oscars for once did not like it too much. The middle part was a bit forgettable and may be the main reason why I am not giving this one an even higher rating. But I can see why it's among the more remembered today, even without the awards attention. Go check it out if you love cartoons and the world's most famous cat-and-mouse duo in particular. You won't be disappointed.

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

This story is a familiar one in the long-running Tom and Jerry cartoons, especially in the 1940s, the only difference being that two cats instead of one are threatened to be evicted if they don't catch the mouse (Jerry). Tom has an unnamed buddy ("Butch?") living in the house with him, so this really upsets "Mammy Two Shoes" who can't believe that they have a mouse despite TWO cats in the house.Anyway, the one who catches Jerry can stay while the other gets the boot, so the competition is on!Even though it's familiar territory I still enjoyed this because the cartoon had enough original sight gags to make entertaining. You not only had the cats competing against each but Jerry in the equation as well, so there were enough good gags to definitely recommend if you are a Tom & Jerry fan.

Tom and Butch Cat fight over the capture of Jerry Mouse because the one who doesn't catch Jerry gets kicked out. The two cats dress in their master's clothing to disguise themselves and lets the other have it! Confused, Tom and Butch whack their master's rear and all three of them get kicked out.
