Puss Gets the Boot is a 1940 American animated short film, the first in the Tom and Jerry series. It is based on the Aesop’s Fable, The Cat and the Mice. It was released to cinemas by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on 10 February 1940.
Jasper, a cat, torments a mouse, leading to a series of misadventures. The mouse outwits Jasper, framing him for breaking a flowerpot and later dishes, resulting in Jasper being kicked out of the house. The mouse celebrates his victory, enjoying the spoils of his triumph.
As a retired trivia writer, editor and quiz compiler, I wholeheartedly agree with Bertrand Russell’s quote:
“There’s much pleasure to be gained in useless knowledge.”
Trivia of all sorts has always fascinated me, and for many years, I’ve written and compiled trivia for various media, including traditional TV and radio quiz shows, newspapers and magazines, apps, and other digital platforms.
