filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Foreverisacastironmess Oh my goodness you'll never believe it, Tom actually 'dies' goes to hell, and learns the error of his nefarious feline ways, it's pretty awesome! The idea of this one is brilliant but it's not quite unique to the series, it's very similar to "The Cat and the Mermouse", where the action goes under the sea! I'm not nitpicking, it was a great idea in that classic and it works just as well here. I always really loved the way the house is done as it appears in this short from this period. Everything is so cosy and richly textured, and it all clearly had so much passion and diligence put into it from the animators, and that's one of the things about Tom and Jerry that always sticks with you. I especially love the glorious golden details on the express train, and escalator to heaven! Wonder if Matt Groaning ever happened to see this one as a kid? It's already been noted, but that really is a rather subtly grim sight gag with the sack full of drowned kittens arriving in heaven. I doubt very much that anyone ever got the meaning of that as a kid. So the story is that Tom dies via a thorough piano crushing, and, lovably cowardly worm that he is, first tries to force the signature of forgiveness that he needs from Jerry in order to avoid getting thrown into hell which is run by a bulldog-devil, and the funniest part of it for me is how Tom actually gets mad when Jerry refuses to sign the document! Eventually though, after a terrific display of charades from Tom, the not totally-unforgiving Jerry agrees to sign - but by that point it's actually too late and things get a little hairy as the escalator before Tom vanishes and below him pops up a boiling cauldron and a laughing devil dog eagerly awaiting his arrival! And as the cat gets dunked in the pot, the twist happens, as it's revealed that the whole thing has been but a dream, and Tom is merely getting singed by the coals from the fireplace! But it wasn't all for nothing, as Tom is overjoyed to be alive and well and immediately runs to give a very confused Jerry a big hug and kisses! It's probably the sweetest ending in the scariest episode and I love it, it's a timelessly wonderful animation, one of the classic duo's very best. Thank you!

TheLittleSongbird As an avid fan of Tom and Jerry, I enjoyed Heavenly Puss. I too couldn't help thinking of Pluto's Judgement Day when I saw this, and while that was very good this in my opinion was better. I loved the concept of the cartoon, the Heavenly Express looked amazing and Hell looked incredibly scary, I couldn't help feeling sorry for Tom as he begged for Jerry to sign for forgiveness. I also loved the artwork, with beautiful backgrounds and interesting character designs, and the music was really clever here ascending scales as Tom went up those stairs up into Heaven and the more dramatic threatening tones for Hell. There isn't anything hilarious here, but what stood out here was the cartoon's uniqueness. And the characters are fine, Jerry isn't given as much to do but he is still his sweet self, and Spike does a great job as the devilish dog figure with a laugh that still frightens me. I also liked the kindly conductor, he had some great dialogue, but as I've said before (sort of) Tom is the star of the show, although he is dastardly to begin with, his pleas for forgiveness are heart breaking and then the ending with him hugging Jerry(more to do with Jerry's confused facial expression) was quite funny. Oh, and those kittens are absolutely adorable. Overall, different but unique. 10/10 Bethany Cox

runar-4 It's not hard to get tired of the bad reputation cats have been given in animated cartoons (Warner Brothers had Pussyfoot as a sympathetic feline, but that's one of the few). They seem to serve only as punching bags for dogs and persecutors of mice and birds. In this cartoon, we have Tom threatened with condemnation to an animal version of Christian hell populated, of course, by devil dogs, and for what? For following his instincts, nothing more. If Christians can be condemned for following their instincts, there must not be many of them in their version of heaven.Jim Davis, the creator of Garfield, perhaps said it best: "Way down under, we're all motivated by the same urges. Cats have the courage to live by theirs." Seeing the way Hanna and Barbera always cast Tom as the endless oppressor and the foil for Jerry's sadistic manipulation makes me want to do two things: watch only Chuck Jones Tom & Jerry cartoons, where the motivations were distilled to their purest essence (the chase for its own sake) and to go find a few mice for my own cats to play with while I watch and cheer them on.

Antzy88 In an attempt to catch Jerry, Tom gets killed when his plan goes wrong. His spirit then ascends to the clouds, where he finds the Heavenly Express train preparing to disembark. The problem is, the ticket-seller will not let Tom pass due to his malevolent antics with Jerry, so he is given one hour to get Jerry's signature on a Certificate Of Forgiveness -- or go to Hell!This cartoon is quite amusing, and the oversensitive ones will be pleased to know that there's little of the violence that the T&J series has often been accused of emphasising. The cartoon also has a twist at the end that I won't spoil.
