Follow along in your phrasebooks: "Bon jour, Monsieur Pussy-Cat!" . . . "Pauvre, pauvre, pussy-cat!" "The Two Mouseketeers" is the Academy Award-winning 1952 Tom and Jerry short directed by Hanna and Barbera. You either like the little Nibbles character (voiced here by six-year-old Francoise Brun-Cottan) or you find him incredibly annoying. But enough T&J fans liked him that he stayed around for three more adventures in the "Mouseketeers" series. Musical director Scott Bradley's adaptation of the traditional "Alouette" into the theme for the sword-fight scene is great. (Note the tasteful handling of Tom's violent death in the final moments.)

p3 Bonus Toon: At this point, it's simply too much for David Wu's supporters to hope people won't pile on; the only question is which direction(s) they'll come from. Jesse Springer opts for the children's character who makes you afraid.
