November 23, 1944
Thanksgiving Day, 1944, was also the release date of the Academy Award winning "Mouse Trouble." This one pretty much has it all.
There's literature as weaponry...
... an off-screen pummeling, a mallet whacking, broken teeth ...
...injury to the eye ...
... a gunshot wound that inexplicably doesn't heal by the next scene, or ever...
...forcing Tom to wear a ridiculous toupee throughout the rest of the picture (except for one brief moment.)
There's an ill-fated romance ...
... a magic trick gone horribly wrong...
... and a huge stockpile of explosives, resulting in complete destruction and, finally, death.
What more could you ask of seven minutes of film?

I do admit, "Mouse Trouble" was the one cartoon that seemed so psychotic to me watching it as a kid, given the content it contained. it was just so over-endulged in it's pace I'm still impressed by it today.
