In this Oscar-winning cartoon (a fact that they're modest enough to mention in the opening credits) Tom and Jerry wage war on each other in the basement of a house. Using household objects as weapons in a variety of imaginative ways, they advance and retreat on each other, desperate to win their mini-conflict.
I suppose this was one of MGMs entries into the pro-WWII cartoon efforts that Disney and Warner seemed to be having a blast with. It's got a very patriotic feel to it and makes war out to be fun. I have no problem with this kind of propaganda at all, but I am surprised that PC-thug groups haven't forced outrage over this, since their lot have ruined many other Tom and Jerry cartoons. Maybe their so blinkered that they cannot really see the subtext.
Anyway, it's a surprisingly good cartoon and really did earn the Academy Award it was honored with.

By the end of 1941, the US had entered WW2, and Hollywood was doing its part to raise morale with uplifting movies depicting the heroic efforts of American service men and women. Tom and Jerry also joined in with the war effort with Yankee Doodle Mouse, a war-themed cartoon that sees the beleaguered mouse fighting bravely against the odds against the imposing cat, and ultimately succeeding in winning his battle.
The main purpose of this episode was to boost morale, and the cartoon definitely succeeds in being extremely entertaining stuff, with a lively pace and some lovely visual humour on display: Tom laughing at a tiny explosive which results in a massive explosion; Tom putting his face into a kettle containing more explosives, and being turned into a 'flower'; Jerry using a bra as a parachute; and Tom tying his own hands to a rocket.
Very patriotic (Jerry salutes a firework Stars and Stripes at the end!), but also very funny and inventive, this one deservedly won an Oscar in 1944.

This cartoon was the first of seven Oscar winners in the Animated Short category. While it is the least of the seven, in my view, it speaks more to the quality of the others than to any weakness in this particular cartoon. Sort of "Jerry Goes To War", it is a reflection of the times and is very well executed and funny. Shows frequently on Cartoon Network. Recommended.
This cartoon is perfect excellent slapstick violence. Love that they used house filled objects to kill each other in a war.
This "Tom and Jerry" short from 1943 called "The Yankee Doodle Mouse" is one that was done clever and highly memorable. The duo battle it out of course only this time it's in the house basement and it's an all out war mode! As food and house supplies are used as war gear! The fire and explosions are felt as fire comes from up above as little mouse Jerry does his best to outsmart Tom, you name it eggs, light bulbs, flour, and firecrackers are all used to bring smoke! Still in the end it's honor and the patriot way for a little mouse! Fun enjoyable short one of the better and earlier ones!

- TriviaThe title refers to the song "The Yankee Doodle Boy," a patriotic song from the Broadway musical 'Little Johnny Jones,' written by George M. Cohan. The play opened at the Liberty Theater on Monday, November 7, 1904.
- Versiones alternativasThe re-released version not only had the opening and ending titles altered, but had a short scene removed. After Jerry whacks Tom with the board, he runs off and Tom jams his head into the mouse hole. Jerry proceeds to wet stamps on Tom's tongue and paste them onto a book. A second war communique reads "Enemy gets in a few good licks! Signed, Lt. Jerry Mouse."
