The Lonesome Mouse Audience Reviews

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "The Lonesome Mouse" is an 8-minute cartoon from 1943, the days of World War II, so this one will have its 75th anniversary next year. The title as well as the inclusion of Hanna and Barbera shows you this is another little Tom & Jerry movie, actually one of the more known ones even. Early on, Tom causes a lot of mayhem again in his desperately unsuccessful attempts to catch Jerry, so his owner finally has enough and throws him out of the house. Tom is mad, Jerry is bored, so the duo unite to get him inside again and prove to the owner that he is needed there. The plan works out and Tom is welcomed back quickly. The two are happy until a delicious cake gets in the way of their friendship. I personally did not enjoy the watch too much. Idea is okay, but the story and animation jokes weren't that creative or memorable here. I had more fun watching other T&J shorts and I have to give this one a thumbs-down. Probably only known for how different it is because it's not particularly good.
Michael_Elliott The Lonesome Mouse (1943)*** (out of 4) Jerry finally gets Tom kicked out of the house by the nasty maid and for a while the mouse is having some fun being able to do whatever he wants. However, after a while he grows tired of not having Tom around so the two plot how to get the cat back into the house. THE LONESOME MOUSE doesn't contain the strongest plot ever written but there are enough good moments to make it another winner for the series. As you'd expect, the animation at this point was extremely good and we were treated to some creative moments including one of the highlights where Tom and Jerry are supposed to be under the sink fighting but instead they're making some music. Again, there's nothing great about the plot but this is a fun short.
TheLittleSongbird This is not one of the better Tom and Jerry cartoons, but it is a reasonable one. The plot is very simple yet predictable, and there are times when the art work isn't as good as it could have been.However, there are some really inspired visual gags, such as Tom and Jerry poking Mammy Two Shoes in the bottom with a knife and fork, the "Hitler" joke, Mammy Two Shoes dropping several items like false teeth in fear and the end when Tom "double-crosses" Jerry. I also liked Jerry singing "Happy Days are here again" and his really cute and funny facial expressions. And very briefly, Tom and Jerry speak, personally I didn't find that a problem as it was brief. Asides from the gags, another outstanding component was the music, it was a lot of fun and very playful.Overall, not absolutely brilliant, but worth seeing. It's Tom and Jerry, what's not to like? 8/10 Bethany Cox
Robert Reynolds This has a lot of noteworthy points. First, it's a cartoon featuring Mammy Two-Shoes. Second, as a short made during World War II, there is a visual political joke in the early going. Third, and most significantly, the two stars speak, something generally avoided, for good reason, the characters are funnier and less complicated silent. There is a nice touch of enlightened self-interest, when Jerry helps Tom get back inside, because he finds life less exciting without the mayhem. The temporary truce/partnership ends when gluttony rears its porcine head. But that's okay-there has to be a rivalry, doesn't there? That's the whole point to this one in the first place! Very good short and worth watching. Recommended.
