The Two Mouseketeers is a 1952 Tom and Jerry cartoon, directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.The setting is France at a time period pre-Revolution. Jerry and his little buddy Nibbles (from "The Little Orphan") are the "Mousketeers", who have a talent for stealing the king's food. Tom is a royal guard charged by the king, on pain of his life, to stand watch over the food laid out for a royal banquet. Naturally, Jerry and Nibbles make their way into the banquet room, leading to an epic battle with Tom.The short proved so popular that it inspired a series-within-a-series, as MGM made three more "Mouseketeer" cartoons with Tom, Jerry, and Nibbles. | |

Hero Antagonist: Tom is the one doing good by guarding the king's feast from Nibbles and Jerry (which the short is centered on). | |

Too Gruesome for Cartoon Physics | |
| The Two Mouseketeers / int_15492124 | comment |
Too Gruesome for Cartoon Physics: After Tom fails to save the King of France's banquet, at the end of the short, Jerry and Nibbles, while walking outside the castle, can only watch as a guillotine blade is raised, and then dropped. (Implying that Tom was executed.) | |

Anachronism Stew: The guillotine did not come into use until the French Revolution (and used to execute King Louis XVI, no less), which takes place after the setting of this short. | |

Bilingual Bonus: All of Nibbles' lines are in French, with the exception of one "Hey!". It makes sense seeing how his voice actress is French. | |

| The Two Mouseketeers / int_3b0479f2 | comment |
You Shall Not Pass!: Near the end of the short, Jerry stays behind to hold back Tom in a sword fight so that Nibbles can run away. He buys enough time for Nibbles to stuff all the food on the table into a cannon and fire it in Tom's face. | |

Skewed Priorities: Although he was assigned to guard the king's feast, never mind his life was on the line, Tom gets distracted by cooking and eating some food Jerry tried to launch at him. | |

Downer Ending | |
| The Two Mouseketeers / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: The short ends with Jerry and Nibbles walking down the street returning home after successfully raiding the king's feast, and witnessing the silhouette of a guillotine dropping — on Tom's head. Nibbles replies "Pauvre, pauvre pussycat" (poor, poor pussycat) and "C'est la guerre" (that's war). This is one of only a very few cartoons in the Tom & Jerry canon in which Tom dies, even if it is offscreen. It's supposed to be subverted because happy music soon plays afterward, with the mice walking away as if nothing happened. | |

Flynning: Tom and Jerry duel in standard whack-your-swords-together style. Tom has the advantage since he has a real sword while Jerry just has a metal toothpick. | |
