Tot Watchers was and will be the worst short of the Classic Tom and Jerry era, it had a predictable plot in a bad way and overused and boring jokes, While Busy Buddies is an Improvement It is still somewhat Disappointing and could have been given more, in 1954 Hanna and Barbera I guess they were running out of ideas, They released Baby Butch which is a Nice and funny Short that is easy to watch.
The short is about Butch, who after failing in his task of getting food on the street, decides to disguise himself as Bebe to enter Tom's house after seeing a Big Ham, Tom innocently falls into the Trap but Jerry is not as stupid as Tom!.
The animation is still pretty good, MGM had already cut costs and that's why cartoons after 1954 started to be cheaper and shorter, Baby Butch still has fancy backgrounds as well as fluid movements and cool character designs, the food obviously It is well drawn as well as the house, and certainly seeing this short film makes me hungry!.
The Music and Voice Acting are unsurprisingly still brilliant, the Music is Elegant and Relaxed as always, but in the chases it is Lively and quite Well Synchronized, Bradley's Work at MGM was certainly on the same level as Carl Stalling or Milt Franklyn in Looney Tunes!, the voice acting is decent although a bit annoying since Butch emits exaggerated sounds of a Baby and they are somewhat annoying to listen to, although obviously, it is easy to ignore them.
Despite the Little Coherence and the Absurdity of the Plot, Baby Butch turns out to be an Exemplary and Funny Cartoon of Tom and Jerry, The Beginning was a bit slow but the end was quite funny and surprising that they made me laugh even after the cartoon was finished !, Tom and Jerry although they had already been falling in quality, they were still Great and kept the Classic Slapstick Humor of Always.
In itself, Baby Butch is not the best of Tom and Jerry from the 50s, but it turns out to be a nice cartoon that can easily give you a few laughs due to how silly Tom turned out to be here, the ending is Hilarious as always and the music always there to brighten the situation.
For everything I said above, Baby Butch gets a 9.
