Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:mousehole2.png\|link=Tom and Jerry ~~(Animation)~~\|right]] The cartoon mouse's refuge: a neat arch-shaped hole cut into a wall at the floor, sometimes with a door. Line 9: == [[Film]] == * A rare live-action example, though more realistic looking, can be found in the movie ''[[Mousehunt (~~Film~~film)\|Mouse Hunt]]''. * It also appears in ''[[Willard]]'', created by the giant rat Ben chewing through the wall. Line 25: == [[Video Games]] == * While they're not mice, the Minish in ''[[The Legend of Zelda Minish Cap]]'' have several small holes that look like this. They do, indeed, lead to the Minish's Mouse World. * In ''[[~~Luigis~~Luigi's Mansion ~~(Video Game)~~\|Luigis Mansion]]'', these are all over the place. Some release golden mice, worth major dollars. Luigi can enter most or all with a special device, usually yielding more treasure. Or ghosts. Often both. * One of the first puzzles of ''[[Sam and Max Hit The Road]]'' requires you to grab a stash of cash from one of these. == [[Western Animation]] == * ''[[~~Tom and Jerry (Animation)\|~~Tom and Jerry]]'', as in the picture above. * Early ''[[Mickey Mouse]]'' cartoons didn't show his house, but early comic strips and children's books did. It had a round, obviously mousehole-like front entrance despite Mickey's large, non-mouselike size. ** In 1931, Mickey's house began to be shown in the cartoons and had a normal front door there, after which the ancillary material was retconned to match. Line 35: * Likewise the [[Looney Tunes]] cartoons featuring Speedy Gonzales and, before that, Babbit and Ratstello. ** Sniffles lived in a mouse hole in some shorts as well, even earlier. * Mostly averted in [[Walt Disney]]'s ''[[Cinderella (Disney film)\|Cinderella]]'', but there is one. * ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic ~~(Animation)~~\|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'': Fluttershy may have purposefully installed a mouse hole in her house to shelter mice. * Invoked in [[Tex Avery]]'s ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOH7ZCyonBg King-Size Canary]'', when the [[Attack of the 50 -Foot Whatever\|jumbo-sized cat and mouse]] do this with a train tunnel (@ 7:02). * You might notice the classic arch-shaped mouse holes in the floor boards in the background on ''[[The Simpsons]]''. {{reflist}} [[Category:Zany Cartoon Tropes]] [[Category:Lazy Artist]] [[Category:Rodent Tropes]] [[Category:Mouse Hole]] ~~[[Category:Trope]]~~
