Scoutmaster Jerry is given the assignment of taking two orphans from the "Bide-a-wee- Mouse Home" on a hiking trip. Boy these orphans are brats.

Poor Tom is the innocent victim, as he tends to be on occasion. He's just lying under a tree taking a snooze when these little wise-guys take potshots him. Jerry isn't pleased with that, either, trying to stop them, but no avail. Soon, the chase is on with Tom going against all the mice. He captures Jerry but the little orphans come to his rescue with some inventive, humorous methods.

Another fun episode.

By all means this episode is not a favourite. It is fun, nice and worth watching but a classic? Personally I think not. The sight gags are funny, the animation is beautiful once again and the music is excellent. The two little orphans are bratty of course but somewhat cute and very mischievous. What didn't work as well was the pacing, a little rushed for my taste, and the plot from which this episode takes its basis from is not the most original one from the Tom and Jerry canon. Tom and Jerry however are still their likable selves, and the episode is in general fun to watch. Overall, good episode but not the best. 8/10 Bethany Cox

. . . Baseball has officially changed the name of this picture, branding anew a previously iffy title to the less controversial heading of TWO LITTLE GUARDIANS. Feel better already? If you send a polite letter to the Commissioner of Diamonds, as I did, he'll probably also send you a set of correction stickers to slap over the bad old insensitive name and make everybody in your viewing circle tickled pink. He also did this for the Cleveland baseball team's equipment manager, but in far greater volume. If Bob Feller, Buddy Bell and Joe Jackson can be reconfigured as Guardians at the stroke of a pen, surely such treatment is befitting for Jerry the Mouse.

After Quacker the duckling, Nibbles the baby mouse is my least favourite of Jerry's sidekicks. In Two Little Indians, Jerry, a scoutmaster, is put in charge of two orphan mice, both of whom resemble Nibbles in Red Indian costumes. I should, by all rights, hate this cartoon, but there is so much inventive violence (most of which is perpetrated against Tom, minding his own business for a change), that I can't help but enjoy it.

As Jerry tries to control the little mice, with very little success, Tom gets an arrow in his butt, two in his nose, is scalped, has the end of his tail cut off, and gets hit with a frying pan (resulting in his nose being pushed inside his gun barrel). Jerry joins in with the fun, belting Tom over the head with a post box. Eventually, after being blown up with gunpowder, Tom has no choice but to smoke a peace pipe with the mice, but even this doesn't go right for the poor cat.

Jerry the mouse is going to take two little orphan mice on a camping trip as their scoutmaster, but they only want to act like Indians attacking a dog, a canary, and finally Tom the cat, who fights back only to get tortured more. Less a Tom vs. Jerry short than it was a Tom vs. two mice tale. And it my mind it was worse because of it. Not to say it wasn't funny, as it was. It sadly just wasn't as good as most Tom and Jerry animated shorts tend to be.This humorous animated short can be found on disc 2 of Warner Brother's 2-DVD Spotlight Collection set.
