The first Oscar winning short, The Yankee Doodle Mouse, is fine. In my opinion, this shirt is incredibly subpar, with nothing of real enjoyment found. I believe this short to be boring because of the gags just not landing for me. The part with Tom and the tiny stick of dynamite comes to mind, which has never really landed for me. Some other, like the cheese grater car Jerry uses, the pot that Tom floats on, and the eggs being used as grenades, just don't land for me. The best part of this cartoon is when flour is spread, and Tom is hit multiple times with a board. The finale feels a little boring, with Jerry doing the same basic rope tie trick. I understand why many like this short, and how it was able to win an Oscar, but overall, I don't like The Yankee Doodle Mouse very much.
