The Year of the Mouse
Jerry, with the help of a mouse friend, is lowered on a fishing line, abuses the sleeping Tom in various ways, and is yanked away before Tom sees him. First, he hits Tom with a fireplace shovel and plants it in Tom’s hand; next, he puts a gun in Tom’s hand and pulls the trigger; he puts a noose around Tom’s neck; positions a ketchup-covered knife (complete with ketchup “wound”); and finally puts Tom into an archery bow. Tom finally gets his revenge, though.
A Chuck Jones short in which Jerry and a friend torment Tom in his sleep and let him believe he is doing it to himself. It is genuinely cruel, and unusually clever about it — the horror is not the injuries but Tom's growing conviction that he is losing his mind.
Jerry's campaign amounts to sustained psychological torment of a sleeping character.
