Mucho Mouse is a 1956 Tom and Jerry cartoon directed and produced by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and released in September 1957. It marks the final appearance of Meathead.
[edit] Plot
This cartoon is set in Madrid, Spain.
Jerry comes dancing out of his hole (which has "El Magnífico" written over it) as Meathead plays guitar while leaning against a couch. Meathead's owner taps her feet impatiently at him until agrees to chase Jerry. Jerry quickly defeats Meathead, and when his owner accuses him of being lazy, he responds that nobody could catch "El Magnífico". Meathead's owner shows him a telegram which says "Arriving today from U.S.A......Guarantee to catch El Magnífico....Tom, Olympic, U.S. and World Champion Mouse Catcher."
Tom arrives with numerous medals and trophies beside him. Meathead's owner expresses confidence that Tom will catch El Magnífico, but his repeated attempts all end in failure. Meathead's owner returns to find both Meathead and Tom playing guitar. She demands to know what is going on. Meathead responds, "Señorita, I told you: No one, but no one, can catch El Magnífico!" Tom agrees, and the two resume playing guitar as Jerry walks into his hole, pushing several pieces of fruit.
[edit] Notes
- The cartoon opens with Spanish-influenced music rather than the usual opening theme.
- Both Tom and Jerry speak in this cartoon, one of the few in which this happens.
