Tom der Nachtwächter

This Tom and Jerry cartoon features Spike the dog trying to keep everything quiet so his little boy can nap. But, as usual, Tom and Jerry make a huge racket trying to kill each other. So, Spike threatens to beat Tom up if the noise continues (how Jerry didn't get the blame, too, is beyond me). Despite this imminent threat of severe bodily harm, Tom wakes the pup again and again and even goes so far as tossing the puppy about and getting him covered in mud. Tom seems to definitely have a death wish. Plus, Jerry takes full advantage of this and again and again does what he can to wake the pup--knowing Tom will get the blame.

This cartoon gets high marks for being a lot of fun. Also, like all Tom and Jerry cartoons of he 40s, it has absolutely top-notch animation. While this cartoon isn't quite as original as some Warner Brothers cartoons, the animation is clearly superior. A wonderful toon.

Tom and Jerry have always been one of animation's most iconic duos, and their cartoons never fail to provide audiences with many laughs. "Quiet, Please!" is one of the best Tom and Jerry cartoons from personal opinion, and is a must-watch for animation fans all over. The animation is crisp, smooth and beautiful, and the colors nicely blend in with each scene. Love the attention to detail and especially the gags, which are hilarious and extremely well-timed. The music is equally wonderful and charmingly orchestrated, and is such a joy to listen to throughout the cartoon.

This is one of Tom and Jerry's most memorable outputs; the chase scenes here are engaging and fast-paced, and the main characters' antagonistic nature toward each another is clearly shown. I really enjoyed the various creative gags that were placed throughout this cartoon, and all the lively mischief that ensues. Those who animated the cartoon surely had fun when doing it, and their talents are clearly shown here. Hats off to the writers, animators, and directors of this cartoon short.

"Quiet, Please!" is an unforgettable and classic Tom and Jerry cartoon that will always entertain.

Spike the dog is desperate for some shut-eye, but finds sleeping impossible with Tom and Jerry causing a ruckus around the house. The stressed-out bulldog warns Tom that he'll skin the cat alive if he is woken one more time; Jerry naturally takes this as his cue to try and make as much noise as possible.

'Quiet Please!' won an Oscar for best animated short in 1945, but to be honest, I cannot see why (unless, perhaps, there was not a lot of competition that year). The cartoon is admittedly funny, with the usual plethora of violent gags providing laughs mostly at Tom's expense, but it is pretty standard fare for the cartoon cat and mouse and nothing we haven't seen many times before.

Quiet Please! like a vast majority of Tom and Jerry cartoons, is very energetic and a lot of fun. Perhaps not the very best of their cartoons, but it is great fun besides and works well on repeated viewings.

The animation, while a little more archaic than the animation in other Tom and Jerry cartoons, is still nice and colourful. Besides, I like that old style of animation. The music is quirky and memorable, and the gags come by thick and fast and work very well indeed. Spike's threats to Tom about making any noise and Tom's lullaby are other things to like, and Jerry's drum solo on Spike out cold was a nice touch. When Tom tried to get the dynamite out from under Spike, I was like "Uh oh, this is gonna get messy".

Overall, it is silly but in a hysterical way. It is also a very energetic and fun Tom and Jerry cartoon that I do recommend. 10/10 Bethany Cox

This is definitely one of the most memorable Tom & Jerry shorts, featuring this funny cat and mouse duo getting up to their antics while Spike tries to have a quiet nap. There are funny gags of Jerry trying to get Tom to wake Spike up by accident. The most memorable one is Tom catching the light bulbs before they hit the ground. You can't forget the moment of Tom singing to Spike so he doesn't wake up. The comedy and animation don't disappoint as usual in this series of shorts. Quiet Pleace! Is still a fun short film that many generations have enjoyed. My final rating for this short film is 10/10.
