Mouse in Manhattan is a 1945 one-reel animated cartoon and is the 19th Tom and Jerry short released in American theaters on July 7 1945.

Plot

Mouseinmanhattan-1-

Jerry dances with an inanimate placecard mascot in Mouse in Manhattan. Animation by Kenneth Muse.

Jerry has enough of the country life and decides to leave to the city. He writes a goodbye letter saying he's off to see the cthumb|300px|right

ity sights, and places it on a sleeping Tom before leaving to New York City to experience life in the city. In a series of antics in New York City, he gets stuck in gum on the floor of Grand Central, ends up as a makeshift shoe-polisher, admires the towering skyscrapers, gets nauseated in an elevator, sees more sights before falling down the sewer, has a close shave with oncoming traffic, and dangles precariously over the city on an ever-breaking candle. He also dances with several placecards (in the form of attractive women). He ultimately loses his balance and gets stuck in a champagne bottle which pops him all the way to the ground, where he lands in a dark alley in a puddle, sneezes, and is heard and scared off by an alley full of vicious cats. He is then hurtled across the city on trash cans, one of which hits a fire hydrant, sending him flying through a jewellery shop window, after which he is shot at by the police. As Jerry escapes the city (nearly being run over by an uptown express train on one of the IRT lines in the process), he quickly races over the George Washington Bridge, empty freeway, and railroad back to the countryside, where he finds Tom still asleep (unaware that Jerry had been gone). He tears his unread note and kisses Tom before nailing a sign reading "Home Sweet Home" above his mousehole, entering afterwards.

Censorship

  • On Cartoon Network, the part when Jerry's head is removed from a bottle of shoe polish to reveal his blackface while he is at Grand Central Terminal was cut.
