WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

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.

MartinHafer While I am a huge fan of MGM cartoons, in my opinion, there were two things that made them not as successful as the Looney Toons cartoons. First, in a cost-cutting move, MGM took a great quality animation studio and began producing cheaper looking animation starting about 1954. Ultimately, the jaded studio was so cost-conscious that they later fired all their American animators and had the films made in Czechoslovakia--where no one had even seen one of their cartoons! Second, while most people love the violent and over the top antics in the cartoons, MGM also made quite a few cute cartoons that alienated some of the viewers. I definitely dislike the cartoons featuring Jerry's friends, the duck or the little gray mouse, as they are meant to appeal mostly to little kids but adults may find them way too saccharine.This cartoon is another Mouseketeer toon. This time, Jerry is saddled with trying to make the cutesy gray mouse a swordsman in 17th century France. But unfortunately, the little guy stinks...that is until he ultimately (and predictably) proves himself. Ho-hum.

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.

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.
