Featured review
Although this story takes place back in the old days of France, the storyline is one that was used many times in modern settings in Tom and Jerry cartoons: a threat by an adult to Tom to do something about "the mouse" or it was curtains for the cat. Usually, it meant being tossed out of the house but here, it's the threat of the guillotine if Tom doesn't make sure the "mouseketeers" don't keep quiet so the house-owner can go back to sleep.
Whenever Jerry hears threats like that directed toward Tom, he does his best to make sure he gets the cat in trouble by doing what Tom's not supposed to do (and one wonders why I and others root for Tom in these cartoons!).
Jerry has his little gray French mouse friend "Tuffy" with him so the two of them try to make as much noise as possible. We see some repeat sight gags such as Tom balancing a half dozen dishes on his paws to keep dishes from breaking, etc.
Even though some of the cartoon is also a direct rehash from others as the early gags are very similar, there were enough original gags - and good ones - to still make this fun to watch. Tom provides the humor as he has to be on his toes, literally.
The artwork in here is excellent and CinemaScope a good format to show it off. The colors are brilliant. One scene has the magnificent castle on the left and rolling purple hills in the background of lush yellow/green grass and wheat in the center and right. It's just beautiful.
