Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFamous cartoon historian Jerry Beck has verbally stated that he does not like the cartoons where Tom and Jerry were friends or at least cordial with one another, but this was the only exception. (This statement was said during his commentary on the cartoon on the Spotlight Collection DVD).
- GoofsThe gatekeeper lets the little kittens pass without checking their names or cause of death. One, he did say their names, and two, it was already obvious how they died. Why would you think he said, "What some people won't do."?
- Quotes
Conductor: [reading from list] Fluff, Muff and Puff?
[He then looks down to see a wet bag bouncing towards him, out of it pops three cute kittens, apparently drowned by someone. They meow at him, shake off the water, climb out of the bag and proceed through]
Conductor: [he then shakes his head & clicks his tongue] Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. What some people won't do.
- ConnectionsEdited into Shutter Bugged Cat (1967)
Featured review
Fatally crushed by a piano while pursuing Jerry, Tom must be assessed before being permitted to ride the Heavenly Express; rather than being congratulated for his mouse chasing efforts, he is told that he has one hour to seek Jerry's forgiveness or he will forever be condemned to Hell.
After a couple of fun but relatively uninspired capers—The Little Orphan and Hatch Up Your Troubles—it's nice to see the people behind Tom and Jerry at least trying something a little different for a change, even if it isn't a wholly successful idea. The basic premise—that Tom would be punished for all eternity just for following his natural instincts—is admittedly daft, but it's a lot of fun to see Tom begging Jerry to sign his name while the devil (Butch the Bulldog) prepares a bubbling pot of brimstone in Hell.
Of course, it all ends up being a dream, and thus a bit of a cop-out, but it's fun while it lasts. Plus, it has a gag about drowned kittens in a sack—not something you see every day in a cartoon!
