'El Magnifico' Too Tough To Catch

We are in Madrid, Spain, where an orange housecoat is unable to get rid of the mouse in the house. The cat is on the sofa one afternoon, playing flamenco music on his guitar. The mouse hears it, and comes out of his hole (where it says, "El Magnifico" over the outside of it) and begins dancing. The housewife comes out and is not happy. She chastises the orange cat (it's not Tom) for not getting rid of the mouse and for being lazy. The cat replies, "No one, absolutely no one can catch 'El Magnifico.'""Is that so,? says the woman. "Read this." She hands his a telegram that says, "Arriving today from the U.S.A. Guaranteed to catch El Magnifico. Signed, Tom, Olympic and World Champion Mouse Catcher."Tom then arrives at the house, complete with trophy (with a flashing neon message on it!), string of medals and a translation book. The woman is thrilled and leaves the house, confident Tom will solve the problem.Well, Tom is good but the mouse is, indeed, too tough as we see in this entertaining animated short. Hilarious, no, but it's funny and it's a "cute" cartoon. I liked the music, too.(Note: There is an inference here that this 'toon is done is Spanish. That's not true; most of it is in English, at least on the DVD, "Whiskers Away," that I have where this is included.)

Even with the predictable story, Mucho Mouse is very entertaining

As people may already know, I am a fan of Tom and Jerry. I personally wouldn't consider Mucho Mouse one of the best, the story is a little too predictable and the cartoon is a little too short so those brings it down a notch. However, there are some great sight gags and writing and Jerry is a joy to behold, so the cartoon is never less than entertaining.Mucho Mouse also goes at a cracking pace, and the characters are delightful. Tom is good, but it is actually Jerry who steals the show. The animation is beautifully done, especially in the colours and backgrounds. The music is also outstanding, I loved the flamenco-rhythms, which added to the cartoon's setting and authenticity.All in all, a very entertaining cartoon without being one of the best. 8/10 Bethany Cox
