What happens

Mouse Cleaning is a 1948 one-reel animated cartoon and the 38th Tom and Jerry short. The title is a play on "house cleaning". It was produced in Technicolor and released to theatres on December 11, 1948, by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and again on February 18, 1956. It was animated by Irven Spence, Kenneth Muse, Ed Barge and Ray Patterson, who were the usual animators for the Tom and Jerry cartoons in the early 1940s up until the late 1950s. It was produced by Fred Quimby and directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera; both men were not credited. The music was scored by Scott Bradley and the backgrounds were created by Robert Gentle.
