pixrox1 Review of Love Me, Love My Mouse

Love Me, Love My Mouse (1966)

It's pretty much only in Greek Tragedies and within . . .

[8/10 · 8 November 2022]

. . . Tom & Jerry cartoons that people have noticed a recurring theme of parents and mother figures eating their tykes. Jerry the Rapacious Rodent rushes to Tom the Cat's female friend at the beginning of LOVE ME, LOVE MY MOUSE with cries of "Mama." The lady feline humors vermin Jerry initially, playing along with his maternal fantasies. After lulling the too-trusting rodent into a sense of false security, however, the she-cat soon chases Jerry out of her home wielding her own knife and fork, to his inevitable doom and consumption. If you've noticed that this does not sound like a classic, heartfelt humorous animated short from the 1930's, you're 100% correct. Warner transplant Along-Came-Jones succeeds mightily in bringing the Tom & Jerry derivative plagiarized franchise one step closer to the historical oblivion it so justly deserves.
