Baby Puss (1943)

I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Tom and Jerry was my childhood. I've watched it several times, each time it still brought me joy and relaxation. There is a certain level of violence but it usually adds fun. But this episode... Tom did nothing wrong to deserve the abuse. These street cats abused him physically and mentally for the whole episode, only because Tom looks funny. Tom is a house cat, too gentle and vulnerable against the other cats. It reminds me of my elementary school days being bullied by some classmates because I was quiet and timid. Tom was so helpless, even Jerry felt nothing and even helped those bullies. I was shocked. I thought Jerry and Tom are rivals and friends.

It felt like watching a snuff film. The cruelty for the sake of sadism was unbearable. Poor Tom did nothing to deserve this physical and verbal sadistic abuse. Even films such as "Hostel" and "Saw" weren't so disturbing as this short cartoon. I would never even dream to let my children watch this abomination!

This episode is definitely not the best episode for me, but I still found moderate enjoyment here because the jokes gave me a few chuckles, and Jerry, who was the reason those cats tortured Tom, did not really win in the end as he had to deal with the bad liquid in which I do not remember its name. If it had not been for that little human girl in this episode, I probably would have enjoyed it a significant amount more, but all in all, I like this episode.

This short is one of my favorite Tom & Jerry shorts from 1943. In this short, Tom was forced to play "baby" for the little girl of the house and he did not like it one bit! except for the milk from the bottle. Then when the child left the room, Jerry peeks from behind a doll house and sees Tom, who is enjoying the bottle (for the milk) and mocks him by playing "Rock-a-Bye Baby" on the turntable and pretends to be a baby himself - I love that part. Tom is furious and chases Jerry into the doll-house. Just when it seems that Tom has Jerry cornered, Nancy returns and scolds Tom again. Tucking Tom back in bed, Nancy threatens to feed him castor oil if he gets out again.Jerry emerges from the doll house and runs to the window to get the attention of Meathead (from the short Sufferin' Cats! ), Butch and Topsy, Tom's three alley cat friends who are outside. When the trio see Tom, they begin to make fun of him. When Tom confronts the other cats, they continue to tease and humiliate him...poor Tom. Overall, I love this cartoon.
