Die gute Fee

Coming from a huge Tom and Jerry fan, I actually enjoyed this cartoon. Is it as good as any of the Hanna Barbera cartoons? No, while this was very enjoyable, most of the Hanna Barbera cartoons were classics. But is it better than the Gene Dietch cartoons? You bet it is, a few of those almost made me have a brain hemorrhage, and I'd rather have two really painful mouth ulcers than sit through Switchin' Kitten again.

Of Feline Bondage is a little too short and occasionally a bit too quick in the pacing. However, the animation is not bad at all, not absolutely brilliant, but there are some handsome backgrounds and colours. And I liked the upbeat soundtrack, and the story was efficient and interesting. Plus the sight gags and violence was funny, in alternative to stomach-churning like they were in the Gene Dietch cartoons. Tom and Jerry are still their likable selves, and the Fairy Godmouse(wonderfully voiced by the great June Foray) is a nice touch.

Overall, I liked Of Feline Bondage. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Tom wants to experiment in some kinky '50 Shades of Grey' style sadomasochism. Jerry is only too willing to dish out the pain.

Just kidding.

This one actually starts off in a snooker hall, where Tom is tormenting Jerry. The tables are turned, however, when Jerry's fairy god-mouse appears and gives the rodent an invisibility potion (instead of simply casting a spell).

The other two reviewers here on IMDb seem to rate this '60s Chuck Jones T&J cartoon higher than the director's other cat and mouse efforts. I can't see what is so special about it. The invisibility idea isn't very original (having already been done with vanishing cream and invisible ink) and the animation is pretty average.

And like several other of Chuck's Tom and Jerry capers, it ends abruptly, a case of weak writing or simply indifference.
