Mouse Trouble is an Academy Award-winning "Tom & Jerry" cartoon.
Tom's new book on "how to catch a mouse" doesn't prove too helpful against Jerry; actually, Jerry seems to make better use of it than Tom.
Fun Stuff click to show - This cartoon is one of the two cartoons (the other being The Missing Mouse) to feature Tom yelling out "Don't You Believe It!", a phrase reportedly taken from a radio show of the time.
- This is one of the five shorts where Jerry literally beats up Tom (the others being The Milky Waif, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Mouse, Matinee Mouse, and Jerry and the Lion).
- This is only one of five cartoons (the others are The Yankee Doodle Mouse, Safety Second, The Duck Doctor and The Two Mouseketeers) in which Tom actually dies by the end of cartoon.
- Tom's book is by Random Mouse, a parody of Random House.
- Jerry tricks Tom into letting him punch him in the eye. This trick was also used in 1950's Safety Second.
