Info

Jerry is raiding the fridge while, nearby, a watchful Tom chases Jerry causing him to crash into a wall which, in turn, causes a bottle of white shoe polish to pour on Jerry. It is at this time when Tom hears on the radio that a dangerous white mouse, having swallowed an explosive formula, has escaped from a lab and that the slightest jar will cause an explosion and destroy a city. Tom then notices the now white Jerry and does whatever he can to stop Jerry from doing dangerous things to himself.

The Missing Mouse Audience Reviews

Diagonaldi Very well executed
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Gavin Man, I loved this episode since I was 5 years old. Now that I'm 17 and I'm watching it again for the first time, I must say I wanted the episode to be a little different. I mean, the whole plot is the funniest thing ever, but I think that would have been better if the missing mouse was Jerry. That would have been totally funnier and unexpected. I wish the episode started with Jerry in this laboratory eating all kind of explosives to prank Tom, and then he paints himself with so he can't recognize him. Then the radio warns everyone of the mouse, and Jerry starts having fun, knowing that Tom can't beat the hell out of him. After Jerry hurts Tom to its best, the scene moves to the fish bowl, where the radio says the missing mouse, aka Jerry, will not explode, so Tom grabs him, takes him to the window and then Jerry starts worrying, but it's too late because Tom's huge foot kicks him out and makes the entire city blow up in fireworks. That would have been totally funnier, and then when they come out with no energy, they say together 'don't you believe it!!' and the episode closes. That could have been one of the few times Tom wins over Jerry, but gets beaten up as well in the greatest explosions of this show.
BA_Harrison A white mouse has escaped from a laboratory having swallowed a very volatile explosive; when Jerry accidentally gets covered in shoe whitener, Tom mistakes his long-time adversary for the missing hazardous rodent—a fact that Jerry takes advantage of whenever possible!For the most part, this is a fairly routine T&J cartoon that delivers predictable laughs, but there's one particular scene that qualifies this as absolutely unmissable for fans of the chaotic cat and mouse: Tom tries to stop a flat iron from landing on his face by blowing it back into the air with his mouth, the poor cat turning purple with the effort before the inevitable happens. Perfectly executed and absolutely hilarious, this easily ranks amongst my favourite T&J moments, making The Missing Mouse worth a rating of at least 7/10.
TheLittleSongbird I have been vocal before about how much I love Tom and Jerry, and this episode is no exception. The Missing Mouse is enormously entertaining, and for any Tom and Jerry fan it is what I feel a must-watch! The gags come by thick and fast, and there are lots of them. Either way, you are guaranteed a lot of laughs. The animation is beautiful, the music is excellent and seeing Tom's sly smile again is priceless. The ending is kind of sad though, but the explosion was fantastic audibly. The way Jerry outsmarts Tom here is a delight to see always and he does it here in a very entertaining way.Overall, I think this is outstanding and definitely worth watching. 10/10 Bethany Cox
ville-5 Tom mistakes Jerry for an escaped lab mouse which will produce an a-bomb proportioned explosion even with the slightest hit. Violently funny situations occur as the white bleached Jerry torments Tom by threatening to fall down or hit himself with a claw hammer, and of course he loses the bleach without realizing it, quite predictably I might add.I'm unsure whether I've seen Jerry get this much hammering (literally) in any of these cartoons. Usually it's Tom who suffers but this time he only gets the token iron on his face and some of that hammering as well. What really struck me was that the real lab mouse - a cute and benevolent little rodent without the violent streak Jerry has - in the explodes in Tom's face and while Tom survives the blast that wrecks at least the house (or even the city?), the lab mouse apparently goes to meet its creator.I don't know whether Hanna/Barbera acknowledged this problem in this kids' film, but this is pretty shocking to me. Nobody really don't die in these films unless were talking about Itchy and Scratchy, and even if they do, we're shown how their souls leave their body and ascend/descend to heaven/hell in some amusing way, but at least they're back in the next film.The lab mouse never resurrected.
