Watch The Hollywood Bowl For Free

Simply A Masterpiece

Overrated and overhyped

A Masterpiece!

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

I'm a BIG classical music buff, and "Hollywood Bowl" is one of the best Tom and Jerry cartoons that entice people like me. The music of it was wonderful! If you classical music-illiterate folks have no inkling of who wrote the glorious music, this is the overture to a little opera named "The Bat" (Ha, ha; funny name for an operetta, huh?) by Johann Strauss the Younger.Tom and Jerry were conductors who conduct the orchestra of cats. Jerry wanted assistance to Tom, but he denies it. This is better than any other T & J cartoons! If you love classical music, watch this; it'll laugh your baton off!

This cartoon is well made and excellently orchestrated. Music and gags go well hand in hand. This being said, I found the cartoon extremely boring. It is short on good gags and laughs.

This episode contains very good music and good laughs!!!Tom and Jerry is a lovely show for kids though this kind of series are different from others. I think it should be series like this in our time too.This episode is one of the best i think because there is so much understandings between Tom & Jerry. They both act well and there is nothing wrong about this episode. Very good Music witch fits in perfectly. You are following both and feel sorry for them in different ways. When the mouse for example begs Tom to play with him, Tom just ignores him. Then you feel sorry for Jerry. When Tom try to save the cat-concert in the end you feel sorry for Tom. This episode is different from the other Tom & Jerry episodes too. And that's what so good about this show. All the episodes are mostly different.If you compare the shows of Tom & Jerry in the 40's and 50's with the kids show today you can see that the older shows is more smart. Today it's embarrassing to see some series. And that's because they had better directors before.This episode has an atmosphere witch is both interesting and funny. I think those of you who are a Tom & Jerry fan and haven't seen this episode should see it. It's pretty difficult sometimes for the director to make both an interesting, smart and funny episode. This one they really did great. Just see it and you know what i am talking about. I can't imagine how great and good this episode is after all??? I think this episode should get an Oscar but it didn't. I don't know why but it didn't!!!

Tom is conducting an orchestra when Jerry, complete with tuxedo and baton, comes out and wants to do some conducting also. Typical Tom and Jerry chaos erupts periodically amidst the classical music wafting around them. The blend of music and mayhem is inspiring! An excellent cartoon, for the most part. Cartoon Network runs this one reasonably often. Most recommended.
