Mexican Boarders is a 1962 Looney Tunes short directed by Friz Freleng and Hawley Pratt.

Plot[]

As Sylvester chases Speedy Gonzales and gets tired out, Sylvester hears a knock from the door of Speedy's hacienda. Sylvester opens the door to find Slowpoke Rodriguez, Speedy's cousin. Upon hearing "slowpoke", Sylvester believes that he can finally have a mouse for a meal. However, Speedy discovers Slowpoke and quickly rushes him to his mousehole, stating that the house is too dangerous for a country mouse like Slowpoke.

Slowpoke is hungry and tries to walk out of the mouse hole, but Speedy pulls him back in. Instead, Speedy runs back to get cheese for Slowpoke. After Slowpoke requests for tabasco sauce, Speedy runs back to retrieve it, but is caught in a glue trap set up by Sylvester. As Sylvester is about to eat Speedy, Speedy retaliates by dropping the hot sauce on the cat's mouth. Sylvester tries to set up a net against Speedy, but Sylvester ends up running through it and gets sliced into cubes.

While Speedy is asleep, Slowpoke is still hungry and chooses to walk out. Sylvester finally manages to catch Slowpoke, but before the cat could do anything, Slowpoke uses hypnosis on Sylvester, forcing Sylvester to work for the two mice. A hypnotized Sylvester waves the hand fan around the table while Speedy and Slowpoke have cheese for a midnight snack. Slowpoke says, "I like your pussycat friend. He's nice and stupid."

Censorship[]

  • On Nickelodeon, the beginning where Sylvester is introduced as "The most pooped cat of all Mexico because he was chasing the fastest mouse of all Mexico" while Sylvester downs a bottle of pep pills was cut. Earlier Nickelodeon versions cut the entire part while later versions replaced Sylvester's pill-popping with a freeze-framed shot of a tired Sylvester on the ground.[2]
  • On Cartoon Network and Boomerang in Latin America, one instance of Slowpoke Rodriguez singing La Cucharacha was edited to remove the line "marijuana que fumar" (evidence in here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb9oWW7A3GQ). Other CN/Boomerang stations (including the only time Cartoon Network in America aired it in 2004) aired this uncut, leaving in both Sylvester popping pills and the "marijuana que fumar" line.
