    It's Hard To Hit What You Can't See

    After the usual chase scene, Jerry accidentally winds up inside a bottle of invisible ink, which was part of a chemistry set. He quickly discovers he's invisible...so the predictable results occur, meaning he uses his new hidden condition to torment Tom. Jerry often is just defending himself, but often he has sadistic streak in him that torments the cat whenever possible, even when unprovoked.

    Here, he makes Tom think his eyes are deceiving him when cheese from a mousetrap disappears before his eyes, or milk from a dish. Tom can't take anymore so he tries to sleep this nightmare off, but Jerry sets fire to his paw! Man, I hope little kids didn't ideas watching these cartoons back in the '40s and '50s! I always found Jerry, the little mouse, more evil than cute.

    Thankfully, in cartoons, generally, whatever damage a character suffers is gone within seconds and he's back to normal.

    The best part of this cartoon is about two-thirds of the way through when Tom figures out what the story is with Jerry, and tries different methods to detect where the mouse is located (such as putting flour on the floor to see his footprints).

    Its brilliance is definitely visible!

    In one of the usual chases between Tom and Jerry, the latter jumps into a bottle of invisible ink and becomes invisible; he then proceeds to have some fun at Tom's expense. This is a fantastic cartoon, with tons of gags (albeit mostly violent ones, but since when did cats and mice use tact?) and a frenetic pace. Recommended. (Mind you, here's a puzzle: Jerry dives head-first into the bottle of invisible ink, so how come when he emerges it's the BOTTOM half of him that is invisible?)

    funny enough

    The usual cat and mouse antics abound until Jerry jumps into a bottle of invisible ink. He gets the bright idea of torturing Tom without him knowing. The cat gets wise and tries to do stuff to make him 'see' jerry even if it's not fool-proof. Of course Jerry gets Butch aka Killer aka Spike the dog into the act (even if it's late in the short, and his contribution is minimal indeed) Brilliant animated short which kind of reminded me of the one with the white mouse who scares Tom so badly. Most of the gags work and all violent as any good tom and jerry short should truly be. This hilarious cartoon can be found on disc one of the Spotlight collection DVD of "Tom & Jerry"

    My Grade: B+

    Tom and invisible Jerry

    I love Tom and Jerry, it's one of my favorite cartoons since I watching it in CTC, but now I will talk about episode that I hate so much. It's The Invisible Mouse.

    In this episode Jerry turns invisible so he can outsmart Tom.

    This episode is horrible, the animation and music is boring and annoying

    The plot is also very bad, the humor of the episode isn't funny, like what did Spike to Tom in the end.

    This episode is in general, awful! The only positive thing about this episode is that Tom is not Antagonist, but this episode is garbage. The 1940-1946 and Woody Woodpecker 1955-1961 episodes are a way very better.

    If people like this episode, then why don't like Dig that Dog, Chuck Jones episodes and Woody Woodpecker 1960's episodes animated by Ray Abrams?

    Never waste your time on watching this garbage episode! This episode don't need to re-watch, better watch Gene Deitch episodes, Chuck Jones episodes, 1940's, 1953 Woody episodes and 1961-1964 (Ray Abrams episodes), and Real Gone Woody

    Where's Jerry?

    The cat and mouse are involved in the usual chases when Jerry dives into a bottle of invisible ink and discovers that it makes him vanish. Instead of seizing the opportunity to go spy on a girl mouse changing room or something, he uses his new-found invisibility to torment Tom. And it's pretty funny and quite inventive despite being a somewhat one-joke cartoon. And the action never leaves the interior of the house, which is usually the trait of below average T&J shorts. Still worth a 7/10.

    However, I'm not sure how an invisible mouse can cast a shadow on the wall, it defies physics and the very nature of being invisible itself.

Then, inside the house, Jerry drinks chocolate milk, as he drinks it he re-appears and can be seen again, his ears make a popping sound, as they appear, completing Jerry Mouse's body re-appearing. Jerry Mouse's body re-appears, lowest from the soles of his feet to the ears on top of his head. Then the closing credits start.
