Sorry Safari

Let me say first and foremost, I can only take so much of the Tom and Jerry cartoons (with the exceptions of the classic ones from the early years) and I absolutely despised the ones from the Gene Deitch era, but this has to be the worse. When ever I see this cartoon come on Cartoon Network, I try to change the channel. This cartoon ultimately lacks what makes a charming Tom and Jerry cartoon. The drawings look like they were done by a kid, the music was awful, and I have to agree with the earlier comment about Tom's owner. A guy like that would be asking for a charge for animal cruelty and therapy for anger management. There is nothing likable about the guy and so your sympathy goes more towards Tom rather than Jerry like it should. In all advice, I would suggest avoiding this cartoon at all cost.

An obnoxious fat man with an uncontrollable rage goes on safari in Nairobi, accompanied by his cat Tom, and stowaway mouse Jerry. Chaos ensues, but laughter doesn't.

A jungle-bound Tom and Jerry cartoon offers so much scope for decent gags—quicksand, man-eating plants, snakes, monkeys, crocodiles, lost civilisations—and yet director Gene Deitch limits Sorry Safari to having Tom and his owner fall off the back of an elephant and get chased by a purple rhinocerous. Excruciatingly bad animation and horrible sound effects abound, making this yet another stinker to be avoided by all but the bravest of animation adventurers.

Worst Tom and Jerry cartoon I have ever seen well the ones that show the abusing cat owner are the worst I didn't even laugh a bit at these ones they are cruel and you have to feel sorry for Tom. The creators called Tom and Jerry bad and they thought this was better.

This 11th episode of the Gene Deitch era of Tom and Jerry falls somewhere between good and bad but it's more good than bad so it's enjoyable. The drawings of the characters are at their ugliest but the cartoon moves along at a quick pace. Using the same format as Down and Outing and High Steaks, it is the weakest of the three but voice actor Allen Swift gives his best performance as the foul tempered, grouchy semi- Clint Clobber. The music and coloring are also effective. There is also an interesting Jacob's Ladder gag. Despite some flaws, I recommend checking this out. 7/10.

The title says it all - this is a sorry cartoon. Story and animation match each other, they're equally bad.

The style of the 1960's cartoons does not please me in general. However this is one of the worst.
