“Three Blind Mouseketeers” is a 1936 Classic Disney Short directed by David Hand, part of the Silly Symphonies series.
It is, as the title suggests, a mash-up of The Three Musketeers and the Nursery Rhyme "Three Blind Mice". Three blind mice, who are also musketeers, are able to steal cheese from a wine cellar with ease. But the nefarious Captain Katt has set up dozens of traps to finally catch the trio. The Mouseketeers, however, easily evade the traps and ultimately defeat the felonious feline.
- Blind Weaponmaster: The Blind Mouseketeers are still excellent swordsmen.
- Eyepatch of Power: Captain Katt has an eyepatch. Thing is, he doesn't need it, as he repeatedly lifts it to see better and it keeps switching sides. He's apparently only wearing it to look tough.
- Hall of Mirrors: In the climax, Captain Katt has finally snagged one of the Mouseketeers and is moving in for the kill. As the mouse defiantly shouts "All for one and one for all!", he is reflected in hundreds of wine bottles, making it seem like Katt is surrounded by hundreds of Mouseketeers.
- Handicapped Badass: Despite being blind, the Mouseketeers easily evade Captain Katt's traps and can hold their own in a sword fight.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Captain Katt ends up being caught on his own traps.
- Mouse Trap: Captain Katt puts up dozens of them to catch the Mouseketeers, from simple snap traps to more elaborate devices, even big old bear traps. The Mouseketeers easily get past every one.
- "Number of Objects" Title: It is, as the title suggests, a mash-up of The Three Musketeers and the Nursery Rhyme "Three Blind Mice".
- Revenge: Captain Katt is sets traps on the Mouseketeers as revenge for always stealing his food.
- Shell Game: One of the Mouseketeers hide under one of three upturned cups, leading Captain Katt to try and figure out which one he's hiding in.
