Nit-Witty Kitty

Well, I have to give the writers credit for "originality" in this one, which plays better than it probably sounds in my review. When I read on the IMDb notes that Tom gets hit on the head and then thinks he's a mouse, it sounded kind of stupid. Maybe the premise was silly, but it turned out to be very funny.

I saw sights in here I would never find in any other Tom and Jerry cartoon, such as Tom squeezing into Jerry's mouse-hole and trying to sleep on his bed! Tom's squeaks are funny and it was fun to see him turn the tables on the maid, who was always giving him a hard time. It also was satisfying to see Jerry frustrated, for once, instead of the poor cat being flustered unable to get Jerry.

Overall, a more-than-solid Tom and Jerry effort.

In a frantic chase between Tom and Jerry around the black maid's feet, she gets a broom, but hits Tom instead of Jerry. Tom then suffers from amnesia and starts to think and act like a mouse.

Jerry learns from a home treatment book that a possible cure is to give Tom a sharp blow on the head. Getting this to happen proves to be a problem...

Very amusing cartoon!

This cartoon is very funny, I guess. Although I'm not in USA, I still like it, Tom is suffer for the brain damage, he became like a mouse, I had to admit it was funny when Tom is deranged. Jerry, of course, very distressed, decided to bring Tom's amnesia, But fails. Mammy also thought of the idea,too! Still, It's one of my best TOM AND JERRY cartoon!

As silly as the premise may have been initially, Nit-Witty Kitty more than makes up for it, and is an enormously entertaining cartoon. Seeing my favourite cat and mouse duo again was more than a delight in itself.

I do agree that the basis of the story was somewhat silly, but as I have said there is so much that redeems that. The gags are absolutely hilarious, and they are clever and well-timed, it is not everyday where you see Tom behaving like a mouse now is it. The animation is very colourful and lively, granted it is not one of the best-looking Tom and Jerry cartoons admittedly but it is not the worst-looking either. The music is wonderful as well, a real delight to the ears, and the pacing I had no problem with either as the cartoon went at breakneck speed. Lastly the ending is satisfying and a funny ending to a funny cartoon.

Overall, hugely enjoyable while not being the best of the Tom and Jerry canon. 9/10 Bethany Cox

I believe it was Thoreau who said, "If I knew that a man were coming to my home with the fixed intention of doing me good, I would flee for my very life." Tom develops amnesia and Jerry and Mammy try to "help" him recover his memory. While Jerry's efforts are not entirely altruistic (Tom's rather irritating behaving like a rather large mouse) Tom is better off as a cat. But the best laid plans of mice and men don't go very well here, with painfully obvious and hilarious results. Lots of great sight gags and semi-vocal effects for Tom. Well worth looking for and most recommended.
