    When Genghis Khan's Mongol hordes invade Persia, a young musician is brutally separated from the love of his life. He still remembers though - and when a lifetime later, he is invited to play at the palace where she is being held, perhaps they might meet and rekindle their romance? The animation here is lovely and stylishly - but simply - drawn with an accompanying score from Saba Alizadeh that helps this short film tug at the heart strings. The story is one of cruelty and inhumanity, but is also one of longing, forgiveness and enduring love with the poetry that underpins being poignant and emotional too.

The Yankee Doodle Mouse

As Tom and Jerry stage their typical fight sequences, the patriotic soldier theme of the title is evidenced by such things as a carton of eggs labeled "Hen Grenades"; Jerry dropping light bulbs from an airplane like bombs; and Jerry sending a telegram with the message "Sighted Cat - Sank Same." Musical phrasings from various patriotic war songs are heard throughout. The cut scene after Jerry hitting Tom with the board 4 times was cut from the 1950 reissue print for a war bond joke, and the original footage is currently considered "lost" due to the negatives destroyed in the 1978 George Eastman House fire.
