The Two Mouseketeers

Based On the book by Alexandre Dumas

The Two Mouseketeers is a 1952 American one-reel animated cartoon and is the 68th Tom and Jerry short, produced in Technicolor and released to theaters as early as January 27, 1952 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It was produced by Fred Quimby and directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. The short is a spoof of Alexandre Dumas' 1844 novel The Three Musketeers and its film adaptations, featuring the mice Jerry and his best friend, Nibbles as the "Mouseketeers" trying to raid the French king's banquet table, which is protected by Tom as a guard. Three years after the cartoon's release, the term "Mousketeer" was also used to refer to the child cast members of the television show, The Mickey Mouse Club.
