I love how much sizeplay and role reversal is in this episode! Shame they didn't get to STAY huge, though. That would've made their future chases way more interesting, hehee.
The classic Bill and Joe T&J's are best by far, but this still beats much of the prosocial E/I and anime garbage on the market today. They should have ordered up some of these for the Filmation block on the former RetroTV.
Are we comparing apples and oranges here? Please consider this was the first version of Tom and Jerry specifically produced for TV... (the MGM and Gene Deitch shorts were theatrically released) and on top of that, for saturday mornings. Compare it with any other toon from that era and you'll see the similarity. Studios had to produce tons of material and meet horrendous deadlines (this earned Filmation the infamous title of "King of Limited Animation"), hence the low quality.
Oh good God, is this terrible. The animation's worse than the Gene Deith shorts (good God, did I just say that?), and this is just not the Tom and Jerry that I grew up with (Hanna Barbara, Chuck Jones). Thank God I never saw this and never will continue watching this.
Gene Deitch destroyed T&J and da fat workerz at Filmation said "These are so funny, let's make some more with MGM/UA, Oh ya, ya, everyone will lika it."
I love this series, I watched it all the time when I was a kid (it was on every weekday after school). It frustrates the hell out of me that it no longer airs anywhere & that it's nearly impossible to find any of the eps in english. Almost all of what's online is the same portuguese rips. :(
Only the Gene Deitch version has worse animation.

If these T&J's were made by HB, like the original, why are they so much more one-sided?
Stephen10528 1 year ago
@Stephen10528 They weren't made by HB.

@94Bballpat Thanks! I found that out some time after my message asking who did. Filmation certainly didn't do a very good job w/ T&J!

God, only the Gene Deitch version was worse.

@NashimiChan I agree. Most people think this is worse than the G. D. ones, but I think it's a little better.

This is the worst T&J version. Annoying music, annoying sound effects, annoying jerry's laugh. All annoying.

@danfons29 The worst thing, in my opinion, is how one-sided it is.
