Chuck resorts to the old banana skin gag.
I love Tom and Jerry and I love Chuck Jones, so one would imagine that Jones directing the cat and mouse would see me grinning from ear to ear in delight. Sadly, this is not so, Chuck's version of T&J never quite looking as they should, and the episodes (thus far) lacking in ingenuity and decent gags. The Unshrinkable Jerry Mouse does nothing to change this, being mediocre in most departments.
The unremarkable story sees Tom miffed at the arrival of a kitten, the jealous cat doing his best to be rid of the cute newcomer. Jerry mouse decides to help the kitten and keep Tom out of the house. This leads to lots of predictable slapstick including Tom slipping on a banana skin (it really is that uninspired!).
Very disappointing (although still nowhere near as bad as most of Gene Deitch's efforts).
