not your everyday tom and jerry short for many reason . one and there a voiceover narration by jerry and which be odd and because tom and jerry rarely speak . two and the two be friend and which be also rare and seldom work as well a the more adversarial short do . third and and most importantly and the cartoon be rarely humorous ( by design ) and the joke here be dry chuckle with a little cough and a bubble of blood at the end . think a tom and jerry cartoon direct by tim burton . not wholly successful and but it largely do work . the creepy end for an mgm short that i can recall . not for everyone and proof that these short be never intend solely with child a the target audience . well worth watch . recommend with the caveat above .
