Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

TheLittleSongbird While not the fastest-paced of all the Tom and Jerry cartoons, Cruise Cat is still hugely enjoyable. And why do I say that? Well the locations are positively exotic, and the animation is colourful and vibrant. I loved the music too, really beautiful, soothing and authentic. The sight gags come by thick and fast and there are a lot of them. Despite being a little slow at the beginning, which isn't a big criticism really come to think of it, the cartoon moves briskly. Tom and Jerry are both very entertaining here, Tom devious yet the butt of the joke and Jerry for being sweet yet cunning. Plus we are treated to some very nice voice work from veteran Paul Frees.So overall, yet another strong Tom and Jerry cartoon. 10/10 Bethany Cox

statum106 ... is when Tom throws that stick of dynamite down the steps and closes the door. There's no explosion so he opens the door to check. Jerry flattens himself against the door and kicks Tom down the steps and locks him in with the dynamite.Now that's just plain foul but what gets me is Tom starts screaming for help like a human being is what has me rolling on the floor! That and what he looks like after the explosion and the door opens back up. I swear "Itch and Scratchy" have nothing on these two.Now IMO, the rest of this short is simply okay. Yeah, they call a truce to watch "Texas Tom." To H&B's credit, that scene doesn't get sappy but I'm still wiping the tears away from my face at this point. Man, I just need to get all of these shorts on DVD!

ccthemovieman-1 "Mascot Tom" has been hired aboard a cruise ship. He has the assignment to make sure there are no mice on board. "If I find one, you'll be fired," says the ship's captain. Minutes later, here comes Jerry on his way on-board, complete with straw hair and playing his banjo. He's going to Hawaii aboard the U.S.S. Aloha. As he gets to the top, however, Tom is there to greet him and boot him back onto the dock.Now Jerry has to find a way to get on the ship, past Tom. He tries several clever ways, climbing a rope, pole vaulting, etc., and finally succeeds when he hitches a ride on the anchor, which is being hoisted out of the water.The rest of the cartoon is Tom discovering Jerry and trying to get rid of him before the captain spots the mouse. En route, there are lots of good sight gags making this an entertaining short. A clever scene had the two cats winding up in a room where they were showing a Tom and Jerry cartoon!

Antzy88 Tom is a member of staff of a cruise ship, and his order from the captain is that the ship be kept free of mice or he would be thrown into the brig. Guess who arrives with the potential to cause trouble just seconds later? Jerry, naturally! This is a really good cartoon, and very funny. My favourite scene (don't think this will count as a spoiler) is where, in the middle of one of their famous chases, they end up in the ship's cinema, where 'Texas Tom', a previous Tom & Jerry cartoon, is playing; they call a truce just to watch it!
