slymusic Directed by Chuck Jones, "Mouse Wreckers" just might be the best Claude Cat/Hubie/Bertie cartoon made at Warner Bros. The two wiseass mice pull all sorts of pranks on the slumbering Claude just to eject him from the house they plan to invade. Meanwhile, Claude has absolutely no idea he's being duped! He merely attributes his painful adventures to catnip and nightmares, but his large, expressive eyes give away his paranoia.Highlights: The best and funniest scene in this picture is that of Hubie & Bertie tying a rope onto Claude's tail, causing the audience to greatly anticipate Claude going for a swift, wild drag all through the house, inside and outside (a "delicious moment" in the words of Chuck Jones); I also love Claude's laugh afterwards when he reads about nightmares. When Claude is framed into appearing as if he teased a bulldog's lower lip, the burly canine beats the hell out of him, usually four hits at a time. An exploding stick of dynamite covers Claude with pillow feathers.Hubie and Bertie truly ARE "Mouse Wreckers" in this funny cartoon short. Have fun watching it!

ccthemovieman-1 Looking for a new home, Hubie and Bertie spot a beautiful place and look in the window and see a bunch of awards and trophies for "Best Mouser of 1948.." Beneath the pile of trophies lies "Claude The Cat." How to get rid of this cat so "we" can safely enjoy this beautiful new house is the plan now for these two sadistic mice.The sadistic but admittedly funny and ingenious plans these mice up with a definitely fun to watch. They make the poor cat a nervous wreck in no time. I felt sorry for the poor pussy. (By the way, where were the owners of the house during all this chaos?)I agree with the other reviewers here: this is easily the best Bert & Hubie cartoon I have seen. This is original, good material and part of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume Two.

movieman_kev Mice Hubie and Bertie attempt to drive Claude, the cat of the house, and an award winning mouse catcher to boot, insane in order to make him leave the house that they want to move into. They go about this in a series of complex, yet hysterical ways. This is my favorite short with the two mice, with it's sequel, "Cheese Chasers" a very close second. This Oscar nominated animated short can be seen on Disc 2 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2. It also features an optional commentary by Greg Ford that is a fairly good, insightful listen as well.My Grade: A

crackerzand_cheez This is a tour-de-force in animation, as well as story line and character study. Hubie and Bertie make Claude cats' life miserable throughout this toon, eventually driving him crazy with the ceiling-floor switch. If you like to see the little guys prevail, this is a treat you wont soon forget. Never a dull moment in the entire film, and filled with belly-laughs from beginning to end. A million stars!
