Review:
In ‘Mouse Into Space’, the fifth of the Gene Deitch Tom & Jerry cartoons, Jerry becomes an “astro mouse”, because there are no cats in space.
By a strange accident, Tom ends up in the same rocket. He apparently has no problems with the void in this directionless, rather weird and unfunny cartoon.
Watch ‘Mouse Into Space’ yourself and tell me what you think:

This was the only Deitch T&J cartoon to feature Spike (as a cosmonaut on another capsule whom Tom runs into in outer space). The title was a parody of that of a 1959-60 TV series, “Men Into Space.”
