 Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Mouse
comment
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Mouse is a 1947 animated short film (7 minutes) directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, starring Tom and Jerry.It is one of approximately eight billion works of fiction inspired by The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. After the morning milk is delivered, Tom sneaks out and steals a bottle off the front porch. He pours it into a bowl to drink but Jerry gets a straw and starts drinking as well. After Tom's increasingly frantic attempts to stop Jerry from drinking the milk fail, he resorts to murder. Tom dumps all sorts of poisons from the closet into the milk and sets it out for Jerry to drink.Unfortunately for Tom that decision backfires. The milk doesn't kill Jerry; instead it turns him into a super-mouse, three times bigger and super-strong. This new Mighty Mouse version of Jerry promptly turns the tables on Tom.

comment
Scare Chord: Merely a moment after the poisoned milk transforms Jerry into a hulking super mouse, we're treated to an ominous sting over the sound of Jerry's furious huffing. Then he starts chasing Tom, and then the soundtrack changes to a dark parody of the Superman radio show's theme.

Miraculous Malfunction
 Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Mouse / int_1ce162d
comment
Miraculous Malfunction: Tom dumps a bunch of gunk in the milk—acid, ammonia, moth balls. But, instead of making the milk poisonous and killing Jerry, he creates an enlarging potion that gives him Super Strength and invulnerability. At the end Jerry frantically tries recreating the potion as Tom is chasing him. Tom, triumphant, grabs the saucer of poisoned milk and drinks it. However, instead of turning into super-Tom he shrinks greatly. The cartoon ends with Jerry chasing him with a flyswatter.

Nigh-Invulnerability
 Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Mouse / int_1f7c89f6
comment
Nigh-Invulnerability: When Jerry is in his super-mouse form, nothing Tom does to stop him has any effect at all. He attempts to whack Jerry with a book. The book breaks on Jerry's head and he tears it in half, then tears the other half into quarters. Tom whacks him with a poker four times. All this only results in is four mouse-shaped dents in the poker. Tom runs and shuts a door then braces it. Jerry simply walks it down. And when Tom tries hiding in the safe, Jerry simply drills it with his fist, yanks Tom out and bangs him against the safe like a ragdoll.

Ate the Spoon: When he poisons his milk and starts stirring it, the spoon Tom was using completely disintegrates, to his surprise. The same thing also happens later when Jerry attempts to recreate it.

Oh, Crap!
 Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Mouse / int_ad1db87c
comment
Oh, Crap!: Jerry has at least four of them. Firstly, he's left surprised when he realizes the "magic milk" doesn't last forever for the first time, while Tom gives him a smug look. He then books it and drinks the milk again...but it barely lasts 5 seconds this time around, leading to this reaction again. It happens again when he runs to get the milk, only for Tom to quickly stomp on his bowl, preventing him from getting the milk again. The fourth and final one occurs when Tom traps Jerry after he's just a little too slow trying to make the poisonous milk again, and realizes Tom is about to drink it himself (which ends up backfiring spectacularly).
