. . . (aka, the Pachyderm Plotters, aka, the Rich People Pack, aka, the Red State Rotters) either yearn to or actually DO pack on the pounds to elephantine proportions so that they can strip down to their lingerie (at most) and strap on spike heels in order to stomp someone's innocent little furry pets such as hamsters and guinea pigs violently to death while making their infamous "Crush Videos" as the only viable means of getting off their Deplorable Men Folk. This is all brought to you in Real Life courtesy of the U.S. Supreme Court, controlled this entire 21st Century by the Rigged Selection of an Appointee Majority from Putin's Party, and about to be doomed to another 40 years of "Crush Video" Legalization by Putin's next young SCOTUS pick, the Russian-sounding Gorsuch (UNLESS some Normal Patriotic Loyal True Blue Americans see to it that a few of these Fraudulent Fake Justices are quickly PELICAN BRIEFED). So where does KITTY FOILED come into this conversation? Animal Rights experts assert that Tom & Jerry cartoons such as KITTY FOILED inspired the Decadent Excess of Crush Videos and the like. From its earliest GONE WITH THE WIND days, Tom & Jerry's MGM movie studio has been a key Putin Party Propaganda Organ for the dispensing of Fake Facts, False News, Prurient Perversions, and Doom to any remaining remnant of Red State Decency.
This Tom and Jerry short opens with a shot of a canary in its cage; in the background we can hear the sort of mayhem that can only mean Tom and Jerry are at it again! We then see Tom is in hot pursuit of Jerry, smashing things as he goes. It soon looks as if Jerry is done for but the canary comes to his rescue. The rest of the short involves Tom chasing the canary, who is then rescued by Jerry and Tom chasing Jerry who is rescued by the canary and Tom chasing both of them. Inevitably Tom comes off much worse as he is battered by the two creatures he is trying to catch.There is no real plot to this short; just a succession of chases and comic ways for Tom to get hurt. Probably not politically correct these days but I couldn't help laughing when Jerry disguised himself as an Indian and said 'How' in a really deep voice! Another highlight was when Tom tied Jerry to the tracks of a model railway and prepared to run him over with a train only to be foiled when the little bird dropped a heavy bowling ball on the tracks... utterly ridiculous but still funny! Overall its not the best Tom and Jerry cartoon but it has plenty of good laughs; I'm sure youngsters will love it along with those who enjoyed it as a child.
Kitty Foiled is one of the blandest and most generic T&J shorts I have ever seen. I don't think I laughed once. Every gag is a rehash lifted from another cartoon. How many times has Tom's teeth been smashed like a window now? The short has T&J already involved in a pointless chase as soon as it starts. A canary (an annoying new character) witnesses what appears to be Jerry's potential demise and interrupts to save him by attacking Tom, Jerry then saves the canary in a similar way. The bird and the mouse then team up to make the kitty's life hell with lots of boring assaults on Tom. And I just don't care.
Tom tries to catch both Jerry and a canary. Jerry and the bird trick Tom by dressing as an Indian and making him think he got shot. Tom catches Jerry and ties him to toy train tracks, but the canary sends the feline down to the ground with a bowling ball.
