- GoofsIn the beginning, as the view pans in to show 'Johann' (Jerry), the curtain pulls that he eventually dances with are around a corner. After the cut to a close-up, the pulls are very near his hole, and not around a corner.

Featured review
Tickling the ivories.
'Johann Mouse (1953)' tells the tale of Johann Mouse (aka Jerry), a cute little guy who simply can't resist dancing whenever the man who owns the house he's living in - Johann Strauss - plays the Waltz. Johann (Strauss, that is) has a cat that wants to catch the mouse (aka Tom). The majority of the piece is dedicated to the feline taking up piano in a ploy to capture his dinner, with a few extra twists and turns towards the end. It's enjoyable throughout, with some splendid sight-gags and an overall charming aesthetic. However, its story is sort of strange, particularly in the way that it just sort of resets itself. The piece also isn't as funny as you'd like. Still, it's always enjoyable and has a good dynamic between music and visuals. It's a pleasant watch. 7/10
