Sadly Over-hyped

Good idea lost in the noise

Good concept, poorly executed.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Tom and Jerry was my childhood. I've watched it several times, each time it still brought me joy and relaxation. There is a certain level of violence but it usually adds fun. But this episode... Tom did nothing wrong to deserve the abuse. These street cats abused him physically and mentally for the whole episode, only because Tom looks funny. Tom is a house cat, too gentle and vulnerable against the other cats. It reminds me of my elementary school days being bullied by some classmates because I was quiet and timid. Tom was so helpless, even Jerry felt nothing and even helped those bullies. I was shocked. I thought Jerry and Tom are rivals and friends.

It felt like watching a snuff film.
The cruelty for the sake of sadism was unbearable.
Poor Tom did nothing to deserve this physical and verbal sadistic abuse.
Even films such as "Hostel" and "Saw" weren't so disturbing as this short cartoon.
I would never even dream to let my children watch this abomination!

"Baby Puss" is an American 8minute cartoon from 1943, so this one will have its 75th anniversary next year and it is from the dark days of World War II. However, Tom and Jerry were always really unpolitical back then, so you will not see or hear any references about the global political climate during these 8 minutes. They were perhaps also there to have people laugh and distract them from the more important events for a little while. Barbera, Hanna, Berner and Bletcher are all household names when it comes to (MGM) animation from back then, so the premise is there for a good film. But the eventual outcome just wasn't convincing enough. It hardly felt like a Tom & Jerry movie at times because in the center of it all were some alley cats and Tom was just there. Jerry even disappeared for almost the entire second half. And these cats also do not possess the same level of quality like other supporting characters in this universe, like Jerry's nephew. And even if this is still among T&J's most known films today, I can see why it did not receive any recognition from the Oscars like so many other cartoons starring the world's most famous cat and mouse duo. I myself also did not enjoy it too much. The best thing about it was perhaps the music, a whole lot this time, but the comedy simply was not good enough in here. Thumbs-down from me. Not recommended.

One of the funniest Tom & Jerry cartoons ever made. Tom getting dressed up as a baby by a little girl is priceless in itself. Add Jerry, and a few alley cats to the mix, and you got one funny cartoon. Not to be missed!
