Tot Watchers Trailers

The lady of the house has gone out for a few hours, leaving her baby in the care of a stereotypical 1950s teenager, who immediately begins calling her friends. Tom and Jerry must call a truce to their constant chases as the baby, unsupervised, continually gets loose. When the baby escapes out the front door, Tom and Jerry chase it to a construction site, where they frantically try to keep it from harm.

Reviews
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
BA_Harrison A mother leaves her baby in the care of teenage babysitter Jeannie while she goes out for a couple of hours, during which time the girl spends most of her time on the telephone, chatting to her friends. While Jeannie is busy gabbing, the baby crawls out of its pram and into several precarious situations, only to be saved in the nick of time by Tom and Jerry.Tot Watchers doesn't appear to be very popular with the other reviewers here on IMDb, but while it is certainly no classic, I enjoyed it more than the last few T&J shorts (Royal Cat Nap, The Vanishing Duck and Robin Hoddwinked). I like how the little nipper repeatedly gets into potentially fatal scrapes only to be saved by the cat and mouse at the last moment—it reminds me a lot of those Roger Rabbit shorts where Roger has his work cut out for him looking after Baby Herman.5.5 out of 10, rounded up to 6 for IMDb.N.B. This was the last Tom and Jerry cartoon produced and directed by Hanna Barbera. The next batch of T&J capers would be made on the cheap in Czechoslovakia by director Gene Deitch.
themadstork By this point Hanna and Barbera had gotten pretty lazy about Tom and Jerry. The animation isn't so good; it's worse than when Jones did them in fact, and the cartoon just isn't funny. The baby crawling in and out of danger is a gag that isn't funny to begin with and rapidly becomes downright mind numbing, and the baby sitter beating Tom and Jerry just irritates me. Compared to Deitch it isn't too bad; it doesn't seem like a Tom and Jerry themed nightmare you might have, but it shows how far they'd fallen from their glory days.
TheMan3051 On August 1, 1958 William Hanna and Joseph Barbera produced and directed their final Tom and Jerry cartoon short! This short represents what is known as the last Tom and Jerry cartoon in the Hanna-Barbera era. In the years to come others would attempt on making a Tom and Jerry cartoon. But while others succeeded other didn't and regardless no one could ever match the quality of the Hanna-Barbera shorts. Those were 18 great years! This final short sees Tom and Jerry after years of rivalry team up to take care of a baby the babysitter seems to have forgotten. This short sort of reminds me of the Buttons and Mindy segments from Animaniacs.3(***)out of 4(****)stars
Antzy88 Cat and mouse duo Tom and Jerry get caught up in the problem of the negligent babysitter Jeannie not looking after a baby properly.This leads to all sorts of mishaps, but that is all I can say without giving too much away. What I WILL say, however, is that this was the last of the 114 Tom & Jerry cartoons that had the involvement of their original creators, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Ever since the first of this series, 'Puss Gets The Boot', was released in 1940, this duo have won seven Oscars for best cartoon, and got nominations on many other occasions. Not a bad legacy for such a fine series, wouldn't you say?
