Old Rockin’ Chair Tom

December 12, 2012 in ★★★★★, MGM films, Tom & Jerry | Tags: 1948, Hanna & Barbera, intruder, Lightning, magnet, Mammy Two-Shoes, Tom & Jerry | 1 comment

Directors: William Hanna & Joseph Barbera
Release Date: September 18, 1948
Stars: Tom & Jerry, Mammy Two-Shoes
Rating: ★★★★★
Review:

When Tom fails to catch Jerry, Mammy calls for ‘Lightning’, a red and literally lightning-fast cat, who disposes of Jerry in no time.

This wonder-cat, however, doublecrosses Mammy by plundering the icebox and blaming it on Tom. So Tom is kicked out, too. But he and Jerry team up against the intruder in an equally unlikely as hilarious plot, which involves an iron and a magnet. A classic.

Watch ‘Old Rockin’ Chair Tom’ yourself and tell me what you think:

This is Tom & Jerry cartoon No. 36
To the previous Tom & Jerry cartoon: The Truce Hurts
To the next Tom & Jerry cartoon: Professor Tom
