The story I agree has been used before, but what I love about Fit to be Tied is that it is very clever and funny. The animation is really nice, colourful and solid-looking, and the music is delightful with plenty of rousing themes. The cartoon moves at a cracking pace and the sight gags are extremely clever and funny and delivered thick and fast. The characters are all on top form, Tom is very crafty here and has a certain likability about him, Jerry is sweet and cunning and Spike is funny and sympathetic with some amusing (if not too much) dialogue. Plus I loved the ending. Overall, clever, funny and delightful, definitely recommended. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Ostensibly a sequel to 'The Bodyguard (1944)', 'Fit To Be Tied (1952)' establishes its oft-seen premise in seconds. Though it starts with a heavy dose of déjà vu, it soon explores new possibilities. Tom is a real villain here, callously clobbering Spike when he is at his most vulnerable. His comeuppance seems pretty justified, which isn't the case for a fair few of his other outings. The film delivers a solid structure and several phenomenal sight-gags, remaining a highly entertaining experience throughout. It deals in repetition by design, which works more than you'd expect. A couple of plot-points are entirely divorced from the focal three's actions, making for a slightly unrewarding end. Still, the visuals are great and the story succinct. It's as funny as it is engaging. 7/10

This is a story I have seen elsewhere but I can't remember in which cartoon. The premise is the same: the little hero saves a dog from pain and the dog promises to be his guardian. In here, all Jerry has to do is ring a little bell and the dog will immediately come to his rescue and pulverize anything that's bothering him. You know who that will be - Tom! However, a new leash law on dogs may have given Tom a new leash on life (ouch.....sorry).

A few memorable sights include: Tom's head turning into a gum-ball machine; Tom testing the length of the leash on "Butch," to see if he's safe a certain distance away. (After the dog is tormented - with great sight gags - the dog gets clever and erases the "boundary" line and makes it closer, unbeknown to the cat.)

Very clever gags in here make this 1952 Tom and Jerry entry a real winner.

Jerry, after hearing Spike yell in pain after having stepped on a tack, pulls it out, and the grateful canine gives him a bell that he can ring to contact him if he needs assistance. Tom tries to catch Jerry, but rings the bell and is rescued by Spike. However, Jerry runs into problems when a law is passed stating that all dogs must be kept on leads (that's what we in the UK call leashes) at all times.

Great fun!
