Touché, Pussy Cat! Trailers

A young mouse arrives at the Parisian headquarters of the King's Mouseketeers with a letter from his father, François Mouse, asking Jerry to teach the lad to be a Mouseketeer. Lessons begin for the French-speaking boy, but although he's charming, he's hopeless and when he gets into a scrape with Tom, Jerry sends the garçon packing. As the boy is leaving Paris, he hears the noise of fighting, and he returns to find Jerry in a fight for his life with Tom. Champagne corks, a paint brush, and a barrel of wine are props in the lad's attack. But has he lost all his clumsiness?

Reviews
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
BA_Harrison I've reached that stage in Tom and Jerry's filmography where every other cartoon seems to have a cute supporting character, whether it be that irritating duckling Quacker, Spike's son Tyke, or, as in the case of Touché, Pussy Cat!, the saccharine Nibbles (or is it Tuffy?). Since I really don't like these characters, I'm finding it tough going…Here, the little, grey, diaper-wearing mouse hopes to become a mouseketeer and so visits Jerry for training. After several mishaps, Jerry is ready to send his new student packing, but when Nibbles steps in and saves Jerry from swordsman Tom, Jerry has a change of heart and makes the little mouse a fully fledged mouseketeer.While the brief sword-fighting action between Tom and Jerry is a lot of fun, the over-sweet grey mouse (speaking French) makes it all incredibly cloying.
ccthemovieman-1 Captain Jerry of the Paris Mouseketeers is given a letter which reads, "This is my son whom you promised to make mouseketeer. Thank you, old friend. Signed, Francois Mouse."The young mousketeer-wannabe is a terrible swordsman, but he's a real gentleman with the ladies. Jerry gives him his walking papers, a note back to papa explaining that his kid will never have what it takes.However, while he is walking away dejectedly, the youngster hears Jerry in trouble as Tom is out-dueling him nearby. Of course, you know who comes to the rescue and makes good. Predictable but a nice little short.
movieman_kev Jerry the Mouse, Tom the cat, and Nibbles the orphan mouse are back in the times of the three musketeers. Nibbles torture Tom unmercifully and also sings. Pretty funny stuff if you ask me. ( of course you didn't ask, but I told you anyway) This short was nominated for an Oscar for best cartoon short subject in 1955, but sadly didn't win. I don't know why, since this short is simply delightful. One of the first Tom and Jerry shorts to be shown in Cinemascope, This hilarious animated short can be found on disc 2 of Warner Brother's 2-DVD Spotlight Collection set.My Grade: A
Robert Reynolds This short was one at least three or four done with a theme of Jerry and Nibbles as "Mouseketeers" and Tom as their principal opponent. They were all good, but this one is the best of them, in my opinion anyway. It plays best with the basic themes of the swashbuckling type of films being parodied with affection here. Nominated for an Oscar, it's an absolute delight. Highly recommended.
