Purr-Chance to Dream

Purr-Chance to Dream was decent, if nothing more than that. Starting with the good things, the visual gags are very funny, clever and well-timed. The music is suitably rousing and bouncy, while the characters are still their likable selves and the pacing is just right not too fast not too slow. However, a major downfall I am sorry to say was in the animation, I actually didn't think it was that great, it was somewhat cheap and lifeless and Tom looks odd here. Also the story is predictable and a little episodic too. Still this cartoon is not as bad as a cartoon like Switchin' Kitten and Carmen Get It!, the former of which was an absolute disgrace I felt. Overall, disappointing but funny and worth seeing if you can get past the cheap animation. 7/10 Bethany Cox

I remember seeing this when I was little. Why, I remember seeing cartoons like this right after "Sesame Street". These cartoons came on KTVU (remember the jingle, "There's only one 2")? I love the fact that the people who made this cartoon used cognitive dissonance. Tom sees a big dog-house and he fears it is a big dog like in his nightmares, but instead, it is a tiny bulldog. Tom tries many ways to stop the dog but they end up misfiring, which makes it funny. This is a lot better than the ones made in the early sixties. The music, animation and sound are perfect for that time. Fun for the family. Bottom line: Highly recommend it.

Tom suffers from nightmares where he is tormented by a giant dog. In reality, it's a weeny woofer that makes the cat's life a misery, the dog a loyal protector of Jerry mouse.

I'm a sucker for that tiny toothy canine that taught Tom a lesson in The Cat's Me-ouch, so this final theatrical episode for Tom and Jerry is a pretty good way to finish the series, the cat once again being chewed to pieces by the mini-mutt.

The gags mightn't be all that original, but it doesn't really matter: seeing Tom turned into sausages or reduced to a pile of fur with eyeballs is still funny.
