As the title implies, the three blind mice are musketeers. The cat sets a number of traps for them, which they all evade (apparently without realizing it) while he sleeps. The cat eventually wakes up and begins chasing them unsuccessfully, thanks to their teamwork.

Sexylocher Masterful Movie
Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
OllieSuave-007 This is a predictable, boring, and annoying cartoon starring three blind mouseketeers, who attempt to banish a cat from its quarters. There's really nothing in this cartoon short that we haven't seen before. But, there is virtually no humor, unfunny slapstick stuff, unexciting scenes, and unremarkable characters. These three mice were not memorable and sang this really, really annoying song throughout the cartoon short. Their shouts of "one and one for all" were very cheesy. Overall, this is clearly one of the worst Silly Symphonies. Grade F
Michael_Elliott Three Blind Mouseketeers (1936) *** (out of 4)The title characters - three blind mice - are hated by a large cat who plans to capture them no matter what it takes. The cat comes up with some very clever traps but will the mice be able to avoid them while at the same time taking the cheese? The traps used in this Disney short were decades ahead of the SAW series that's for certain. With that said, this here is certainly an entertaining short but I think it falls well short of being a classic. Still, there is some great stuff here including the music score, which really pumps you up as you watch the film. Another major plus are the four characters as the three mice are certainly likable and the cat is such a good villain that you love to hate him. I think the first portion of the short works best as we see the mice trying to steal the cheese.
Robert Reynolds This cartoon, with a very basic and not very significant plot, is loads of fun and very nice to look at. Because I do want to touch on the short to some degree, there are mild spoilers: The title basically says it all-the protagonists are the Three Blind Mouseketeers and they are "all for one and one for all" when it comes to finding cheese. Captain Katt (think of "Pegleg" Pete done up as a cat) has sworn that, tonight, he's finally going to trap and destroy the Three Blind Mouseketeers, so he sets traps everywhere, hides inside a split barrel-and promptly falls asleep.The Mouseketeers, in the meantime, through fortuitous circumstances, manage to repeatedly slip through and around the traps with nary a scratch on them, many of the gags being excellently timed animation, frequently timed to the beat. There's one particularly nice bit of animation, where one of the mice becomes isolated from the others and Captain Katt is coming toward him when he starts yelling to his comrades as though he's surrounded by an army, which in a sense, he is-he's standing in front of a great many pieces of reflective glass, each of which has a tiny mouse dressed astonishingly like him and brandishing a sword. Captain Katt is overwhelmed and turns to run. Add in a large quantity of exploding corks from bottles and Captain Katt is once again routed by the Three Blind Mouseketeers.This short is available on the Disney Treasures More Silly Symphonies DVD release and it and the set are recommended.
the amorphousmachine Not really much to spoil. Old school Disney short revolving around three blind Mouseketeers, who walk into Captain Cat's many booby traps, but somehow come out on top, and outsmart that wily fat cat. For 1936, it's as much fun as a short can be, and it certainly entertains! The animation is great for its time, and I wouldn't have picked it for being in the 30s. More like the 40s, or at least, that was my initial impression. Enjoyable! There is not much more I can say about this short animated piece, other than I watched it via 'The Rescuers' DVD, so if you are interested in old school Disney shorts, it's worth a look. ***1/2 out of *****
