Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Wow! Such a good movie.
Let's be realistic.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
I wish I could rate it 7 and half, anyways, this cartoon is introducing us to the Tom and Jerry that we know. Scenes such as Tom turning into a wolf, or a Cupid hitting an arrow on Tom. But as a lot of people said around here, it's more cute than hilarious, my friend (that is a girl), reacted with "Ownnt", "It's so cute!", "I Wanna hug them", and the list goes on. So I think that this episode females will like it more than males.The Story is that someone brought a female cat(Her name is Toots, by the way) to Mammy take care of her for some time. Tom sees Toots and fall in love with her, so he does a lot of tricks to impress Toots, using Jerry, of course. Jerry doesn't like it, and the fight starts.But a thing is, the fight between them starts only at the half of the cartoon. And to be honest, it isn't that much, it's only Jerry throwing some discs at Tom and that's it. But the adorable scenes, such as Tom doing magic tricks to Toots can be a little fun to see, you don't get a chuckle, but a smile appears on your face.I recommend you to give it a watch, specially if you are a female.
When Mammy Two Shoes agrees to look after her neighbours female cat, libidinous Tom pushes Jerry into a filing cabinet (under M for mouse) and sets about trying to impress the 'lady'. After offering her a fish and a bird, but getting nowhere, Tom retrieves Jerry from the cabinet in a last ditch effort to get the gal. The cheeky mouse proceeds to cause trouble for the cat, and even ends up winning the 'woman' (which strikes me as rather strange!).A so-so episode from T&J, Puss N' Toots's only genuine highlight is when Tom is trapped on the turntable of a record player (an interesting window on the past: did they really have sound systems like that?) whilst Jerry operates the controls, smashing various records onto the poor feline's head.
The year 1942, the first full year of these Tom and Jerry cartoons and, as many of them were this year, are nothing special. What makes these two guys click are their famous chases and inventive ways to getting at each other. Those were just starting to surface the first season or two. In this cartoon, that "chase" doesn't begin until less than three minutes remain.Before that, we just get the normal Tom toying with Jerry and than acting goofy trying to impress a new female cat, which was let in the house by the maid, "Mammy Two Shoes." She, too, was a fixture in 1942 but didn't last too long. Meanwhile, Tom tries to impress the visiting feline with his looks and with presents but she's a hard sell. When he presents Jerry, the mouse has to put up with some humiliations. He finally figures a way to stopped being used, pokes Tom in the butt with a big needle...and the chase is on.There was one funny bit, with Tom on top of a record player, spinning around to whatever tune Jerry would play. Overall, though, it was so-so material that was done much better in a few years to come.
Tom is playing with Jerry (not that Jerry is having fun) by dropping him in a spherical glass vase and watching him struggle to climb out. When Mammy-Two-Shoes (dubbed to be less-offensive in my version) answers the door, Tom chucks Jerry into a filing cabinet under 'M' and spies on what the big deal is.Mammy-Two-Shoes has agreed to look after a neighbor's kitty while they're gone for the day. It just so happens to be a female kitty that Tom falls instantly in love with. He tries everything to impress her, only for her to respond with a bewildered expression.Finally he pulls Jerry out of the filing cabinet in an attempt to show off the tricks they've practiced together. Jerry, not to pleased with this, turns the tables on Tom and makes an idiot out of him. And Jerry is the one who ends up getting the girl.Not too funny, but not too boring. Lacks bite.
