Really Surprised!
Nice effects though.
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Down on the ranch, Tom is happily wiling away the hours tormenting Jerry when he finds himself distracted by the arrival of a sexy cowgirl cat. Tom sets about trying to impress the pretty puss, but Jerry isn't about to make things easy for his nemesis.Texas Tom's unique Western setting provides plenty of opportunity for hilarity. There's a terrific scene in which Tom serenades the cowgirl cat by miming to a record, but runs into trouble when Jerry starts messing around with the speed control on the record player; Tom accidentally catching an angry bull with his lasso also leads to some very funny moments.At the end of the cartoon, Jerry is the one that gets lucky with the girl, the cheeky mouse planting a big smacker on her lips (Jerry also snogged a cute female cat in the 1942 short Puss n' Toots—bizarre!!).
Tom is lying around on the porch at the Dude Ranch when he uncovers Jerry under a flowerpot. While Jerry races away, Tom lassos him, the rope even going around the corner of the building! Suddenly, a station wagon roars up and out comes a beautiful cowgirl, er catgirl.....whatever....Tom is smitten, big-time!Tom runs back in the house and gets his best cowboy duds on and starts strutting in front of the girl, trying to impress her. He pulls out his tobacco and papers, has Jerry lick the paper, pulls out his gun and shoots it to light the cigarette. He then blows a smoke ring that says, "Howdy." Wow, is this dude s-m-o-o-t-h!! Tom then serenades her (with the cows singing the chorus!). Man, he's pouring it on. Jerry, however, is ready to puke watching this spectacle. He decides to put an end to it....and how! Poor Tom takes a beating, especially from an irate steer.All in all, there are numerous laugh-out-loud scenes in this animated short - really good stuff. Great music, too, with amusing lyrics in some of the songs.
This isn't a particularly great Tom and Jerry cartoon, but considering it was made during the absolute best period of animation from MGM (1941-1956), it still is a very, very good cartoon. Tom and Jerry are out West and Tom is apparently a very capable Cowcat (he really can't be a "comboy", can he?). He spends much of his time tormenting Jerry with his rope tricks until a cute female cat shows up (the same one that periodically shows up in their cartoons). So, Tom wants to impress her but ends up being outwitted by Jerry--who then tries to woo the girl cat (that's kind of weird, huh?). Once again, the cartoon has excellent production values and I have no major complaints other than the fact this wasn't a particularly memorable cartoon--just an average Tom and Jerry toon.
Tom and Jerry are in Texas as cowboys. When a beautiful female cat arrives Tom falls instantly in love and tries to be really cool. Of course Jerry makes sure he has not got a single chance.This is one of the funniest cartoons from Tom and Jerry. Every joke is a good one and the songs used are quite good as well and perfect for the story. Simply great.
