Review:
‘The Case’ is a short film noir film from the Czech Republic in which a detective chases a mysterious figure through town.
Unfortunately, I cannot make anymore out of this film because the action is pretty unclear at times and the film ends rather inconclusive. Yet, Zivocký’s graphical style is a delight to watch. He uses a bold and raw graphical style, combined with strong cinematography. The film might be a narrative failure, artistically it’s certainly a winner.
Watch ‘The Case’ yourself and tell me what you think:

Review:
‘The Brothers Carry-Mouse-Off’, its literary title notwithstanding, is Chuck Jones’ fourth Tom & Jerry chase cartoon using blackout gags, this time indoors.
This was the first of the Chuck Jones Tom & Jerries not directed by Chuck Jones himself, and it shows. The designs and the animation are worse than in other entries. Especially Jerry is badly designed here. The music is also particularly uninspired. All this results in one of the weakest entries in the series.
About its director, Jim Pabian, little is known. He co-wrote this cartoon and the next, ‘Haunted Mouse’,with Chuck Jones. ‘The Brothers Carry-Mouse-Off’ is the only cartoon he ever directed.

Review:‘
‘Tom-ic Energy’ is Chuck Jones’s second Tom & Jerry chase cartoon with blackout gags, this time situated in the city streets.
The short contains elements from two of Chuck Jones’ earlier series: Road Runner and Pepe Le Pew. It’s fast, it’s well-animated, its music (by Eugene Poddany) is not bad, and yet, it never becomes really funny. It’s difficult to tell why not.
