Reviews
Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
TheLittleSongbird I thoroughly enjoyed Kitty Foiled, never once did I find it generic and bland but that is just me. The sight gags are plentiful, and all of them work thanks to primarily the fast pacing. The best of them is when Tom ties Jerry to a railway track, and the canary saves Jerry's life by making a bowling ball fall through the track(and Tom falls through the hole of course), though everything else is on the money. As per usual, the production values and music are top notch, and while Tom is more sadistic than usual he is fun. And you really feel sorry for Jerry, but I had real admiration for the cute canary, anybody who saves Jerry's life is a friend of mine, that's what I'd say. Overall, thoroughly enjoyable and a lot of fun. 10/10 Bethany Cox
BA_Harrison Another routine Tom and Jerry escapade, Kitty Foiled is given the 'new character' treatment in an effort to disguise the fact that we've seen most of the gags before.This time around, Jerry is given a hand (or, rather, a wing) in his fight against Tom by a cute canary; together, the little bird and the plucky mouse are more than a match for the cat, repeatedly teaching him to pick on someone his own size by violently smashing, bashing and generally hurting the poor moggy (who, let's face it, is just following his natural instincts!!!).Towards the end of this rather tedious episode there are one or two moments that shine (the cat caught in the bear rug gag, and the bowling ball bomb), but, in general, this is one of the duo's lesser efforts.
Shawn Watson Kitty Foiled is one of the blandest and most generic T&J shorts I have ever seen. I don't think I laughed once. Every gag is a rehash lifted from another cartoon. How many times has Tom's teeth been smashed like a window now? The short has T&J already involved in a pointless chase as soon as it starts. A canary (an annoying new character) witnesses what appears to be Jerry's potential demise and interrupts to save him by attacking Tom, Jerry then saves the canary in a similar way. The bird and the mouse then team up to make the kitty's life hell with lots of boring assaults on Tom. And I just don't care.
looneythad Tom tries to catch both Jerry and a canary. Jerry and the bird trick Tom by dressing as an Indian and making him think he got shot. Tom catches Jerry and ties him to toy train tracks, but the canary sends the feline down to the ground with a bowling ball.
