Watch Saturday Evening Puss For Free

just watch it!

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

"Saturday Evening Puss", which has an R-rated ring to it by today's standards, is another Hanna Barbera MGM cartoon and this one was released back in 1950, so it is already over 65 years old. As always with these, there is not too much voice acting in here, but Lillian Randolph is featured prominently. It is relatively unusual that the first 60 seconds belong to her character, but here it is true as we see her leave for a card game with friends. And she is hardly out of the door when Tom invites all his buddies over to have a party. Jerry, who also takes unusually long to be seen for the first time, is not amused as he just wants his calm and when nothing helps, he finally calls Tom's owner showing us he is able to speak human language. Another humanization aspect here is that the cats never even try to eat Jerry, even after they catch him. This is probably not one for Tom lovers as the moment the party starts, he is just one of the cats and doesn't stand out anymore. The one who does is a smaller cat though, one of the best aspects of the cartoon and the main reason I gave it a thumbs-up. I wish he was in more of these T&J cartoons. Finally Jerry gets his fair share too for being a party pooper and a telltale Eventually, the watch here was really nothing special. The music doesn't stand out either. All in all, a really close call, but I still recommend the watch, even if it is nowhere near 1950's best in animation and nowhere near T&J's watch. It shows that the material was really thin as this one does not even reach the 6.5-minute mark.

Out of all of the Tom and Jerry episodes I see, this is my favorite of them all. This is, to start off, a great episode. I love the music and all the voices in this one. The plot is good as well: Tom's owner is out so Tom throws a party in his house and Jerry tries to stop it. I also love the part where Jerry calls Tom's owner and tells her about the party, and she comes home furious. The best/funniest part of that scene is where she throws Tom and the cats out of the house, and they form a totem pole. I laugh so hard every time I see that part. Overall, I recommend this cartoon to all Tom and Jerry fans, whether they've seen it before or not.

Three things make this Tom&Jerry cartoon stand out from the crowd:We see more of Mammy Two-Shoes than ever, not just her face but also a bit of her social life.It is one of the relatively few cartoons where Jerry doesn't get a total triumph at the end.It is filled with good 50's jazz music.And it is even more. Tom has a whole gang of friends, and the cat(s)-vs-mouse chase, although basically the same as usual, is filled with gags around musical instruments. Jerry is even reshaping into the musical instruments he hear.Finally, it is one where censorship has done most work, with two revisions, first replacing Mammy Two-Shoes voice with a smoother, bland voice, and then redrawing a lot of it to replace her with a skinny white girl. And every change made it worse (except possibly replacing cards by dancing). I find it hard to see how Mammy Two-Shoes could be severely racist where she is clearly the master of her house, not always obvious in other cartoons, and replacing an overweight middle-aged black woman with an almost anorectic white girl is hardly a step forward, limiting both age, weight and skin color to something considered "right". Is it a good move to remove strong, independent black women from the screen? I know the voice is cliché but nothing more, and many new movies are worse (the new Ladykillers, the Rush Hour series...). If Chris Tucker can make fun of "black language" why can't Mammy Two-Shoes?So it has all the action and gags of an above average cartoon, but with these unique features on top. Not mind-blowing unique but quite significant.

Anyone who loves some "swinging' jazz," will lose this cartoon.The maid is stepping out for a hot night on the town. I least I got that impression with the colorful dress, garter belt and the rest. I laughed when she tested her necklace, the one with green and red jewels. She hit the green and the word "go" lit up, red for "stop!"The moment she's out door, Tom rushes to the window, whistles to his buddies out near the garbage can and holds up a sign that reads, "O.K. For the Party." They yell "yippee" and literally fly through the window. In no time, the place is jumping. The hot jazz music in here, by the way, is fantastic! These cats know how to party!Unfortunately, the music is keeping the mouse awake and little Jerry turns out to be party pooper. The rest of the cartoon involves his attempts at silencing the music and the cats silencing him! There are excellent sight gags in this one....and some justice at the very end.
