Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe house, yard and all furnishings and accessories, are carefully and accurately depicted, as cartoons still appealed to adult cinema audiences in the years before TV. But there were plenty of gags for the kids, too.
- GoofsWhen Bertie says, "Now we have the whole place to ourselves", his mouth doesn't move.
- Alternate versionsIn the original print of the film, Claude Cat, after being driven insane, tries one last and desperate time to reclaim his house. He climbs down the house's chimney, but is singed by the fire that Hubie and Bertie build in the fireplace. In the release print, this scene was replaced with Hubie and Bertie enjoying their new home in front of the fireplace, which fades into the familiar Warner Bros. cartoon end-title concentric circles rather than the traditional iris-out.

wonderful cruel fun!
This is one of the all-time best Warner Brothers cartoons--even better than the best of Bugs or Daffy! It's THAT good! Hubie and Bertie the mice are looking for a nice place to live. They come upon a wonderful house they would love to live in, but there's a serious problem--the house ALSO has a cat. So, the incredibly cruel mice decide to drive the cat crazy so he will leave and they can have the house to themselves.
What results are some of the funniest evil tricks in cartoon history! At one point they put ear phones on the cat and then proceed to nail everything on the floor to the ceiling and vice-versa! The cat then awakens and tries, unsuccessfully, to walk on what he thinks is the floor! They also tie a rope to the cat's tail and run it all over the house--after which, they drop the weighted end down the chimney and watch the cat being drug all through the house! This cartoon has it all--great animation, great writing, great characters and a bit of an evil streak that makes you laugh out loud. While not quite as good, I also strongly recommend you see Cheese Chasers--with the same cast and high level of fun.
