Martian Mice

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Martian Mice" is the twenty-sixth sub-episode of Tom and Jerry Tales.

[edit] Episode Summary

Tom and Jerry chase each other around on a farm. Tom pretends to be a chicken, but a UFO catches both Tom and Jerry, thinking that they are chickens. The aliens in the UFO need 2000 eggs for the queen's cake, and they already have 5. Thus, the aliens tell Tom to lay 1995 more eggs. He tries as hard as he can to lay those eggs, but Tom fails. The aliens make the cake anyway, and they deliver it to the queen. However, the queen discovers that Tom and Jerry aren't chickens, so the aliens let them go, and they capture a cow instead. Tom is about to chase Jerry again--but then inexplicably lays an egg!

[edit] Cultural References

The two alien mice look and sound very similar to Babbott and Catstello from "A Tale of Two Kitties" (Clampett, 1942).

[edit] Goofs

When one of the aliens pours water into the bowl, the stream turns briefly from clear to the same color as the cake batter.
