Baby Puss

An annoying prepubescent white girl dresses Tom the cat up as a baby, a bonnet, little booties, a diaper, the whole nine yards. Tom only puts up with it to get the delicious milk and is having a good time until Jerry the mouse sees him which enrages him while the mouse mocks him. Later Jerry gets Tom's feline friends over and embarrass's him further. I hear some people say this one is too sadistic. Hello.. this is a Tom and Jerry cartoon people. If you think it's too sadistic go watch the ultra-liberal crap-fest that is "Captain Planet" This hilarious cartoon can be found on disc one of the Spotlight collection DVD of "Tom & Jerry".

My Grade: A

After he is forced to dress up and act like a baby by a sadistic little girl, poor old Tom becomes the victim of bullying by Jerry and a group of nasty alley cats.

Tom is physically and verbally attacked for the entire duration of this cartoon by every other character, and, although the level of violence is not particularly any higher than in other episodes, Baby Puss seems more mean spirited than your average T&J adventure. The result just isn't as enjoyable as usual.

There is also an overlong musical number which feels rather incongruous, and an unsatisfying ending which sees both Tom and Jerry getting a dose of Castor oil that makes them violently sick (I wanted Tom to turn the tables on his tormentors).

Baby Puss (1943)

*** 1/2 (out of 4)

One of the best in the series has Tom being dressed up as a baby by the little girl who lives with him. This leads to Tom being picked on by Jerry but things get even worse for the poor cat when a group of alley cats show up to continue the abuse. BABY PUSS is without question the best film in the series up to this point and it manages to feature one great laugh after another. For starters, the voice of the little girl is just so perfectly annoying that you really can't feel Tom's pain. The comedy aspect is extremely high and especially with the various abuses that Tom receives at the hands of the other cats. The diaper changing sequence is just a classic as is the scene where Jerry does some cross-dressing. Fans of the series will certainly love this one.

Just brilliant I can sit and watch these with my kids and enjoy them like when I was a kid . I introduced my son to them a few years ago. Today my daughters turn loving dolls this was a great episode for her to start with. She loved the episode

One of the funniest Tom & Jerry cartoons ever made. Tom getting dressed up as a baby by a little girl is priceless in itself. Add Jerry, and a few alley cats to the mix, and you got one funny cartoon. Not to be missed!
