Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Mouse Wreckers is a 1949 Looney Tunes cartoon, directed by Chuck Jones.It's the fifth of seven cartoons starring mischievous mice Hubie and Bertie. The mice arrive at a nice-looking middle-class home which they decide to move into. Unfortunately, when they look inside they see Claude Cat (himself a recurring character), who as the trophies on the stand attest is a champion mouser. Hubie and Bertie have to get Claude out of the house while never letting him know they're there, lest he catch them. The mice then begin a campaign of terror, lowering themselves down the chimney with string, playing an increasingly elaborate set of pranks on Claude in order to frighten him out of the house.

Bowdlerization:The version shown on CBS' The Bugs Bunny/Roadrunner Show in the 1970s and 1980s severely shortened the part where Hubie and Bertie tie Claude's tail to a boulder, push the boulder off the chimney, and send Claude careening through the house (going out a window, up a ladder, down a rain gutter, through a kitchen table filled with dishes, and back in the living room, slamming into a trash can lid). The edited on CBS version goes from Hubie pushing the boulder and Claude flying out the window to Claude magically back in the house and getting slammed into the trash can lid. The CBS version also cut the very end where Hubie and Bertie roast cheese over the fire (why they did it is unknown, but popular theories include: a) the censors didn't like the fact that Hubie and Bertie didn't get their comeuppance for gaslighting Claude the Cat, b) to cover up the ending that was cut before theatrical release, c) they thought Hubie lighting a match would lead to kids playing with matches, or d) it was a time cut to make room for more commercials).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Big Ball of Violence: Happens when the bulldog attacks Claude, but it's obvious that Claude is getting the worst of it—one time Claude pokes out of the dust cloud with the bulldog's hand around his neck, another time the bulldog pokes out wielding a club, etc.
