Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Michael_Elliott Puss n' Toots (1942) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Tom turns into a wolf when a female cat shows up at his house so he puts on the act of a "cool" cat by showing the female the various tricks he can do at the expense of Jerry. PUSS N' TOOTS was the weakest in the series up to this point. It was less than a year old but after a couple great shorts this one here took a step back. That's not to say there wasn't anything fun here because that's certainly not the case but there's no question that this one doesn't feature as much action or laughs. The highlight of the film would be when Tom is getting ready to impress his woman by trying to fix his hair and make himself feel good. The tricks done with Jerry really aren't that funny and there's really a lack of action going on as well.

TheLittleSongbird I am a huge Tom and Jerry fan, and really like or love a vast majority of their cartoons(though I don't care for some of Chuck Jones' output and hate all-except Calypso Cat which was only average- of the Gene Deitch cartoons). Puss 'n' Toots is neither among the best or worst of Tom and Jerry. The story is very routine and there isn't really all that much to it, it doesn't really get going until Tom starts trying to impress the female kitten with Jerry's help and apart from one gag it is not very funny. However, the animation is really beautiful to look at, the colours are really luscious especially. The music has the catchy jazziness and the lush charm as you'd expect a Tom and Jerry music score to have. The funniest Puss 'n' Toots got was with Tom and the record player, that was hilarious. Jerry sticking a pin up Tom's bottom also wasn't so bad, but I've seen it before many times. I did like the cartoon's cute tone as well without being too overly-sweet, the ending was a lovely touch in particular. Tom is not as crafty as he was later but I did like how he was trying to impress the female kitten, who was adorable by the way. Jerry is a good contrast but he has done more and funnier things. In conclusion, a pleasant cartoon but not that exceptional to me. 7/10 Bethany Cox

BA_Harrison 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.

Shawn Watson 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.
