Baby Puss

After he is forced to dress up and act like a baby by a sadistic little girl, poor old Tom becomes the victim of bullying by Jerry and a group of nasty alley cats.

Tom is physically and verbally attacked for the entire duration of this cartoon by every other character, and, although the level of violence is not particularly any higher than in other episodes, Baby Puss seems more mean spirited than your average T&J adventure. The result just isn't as enjoyable as usual.

There is also an overlong musical number which feels rather incongruous, and an unsatisfying ending which sees both Tom and Jerry getting a dose of Castor oil that makes them violently sick (I wanted Tom to turn the tables on his tormentors).

One of the funniest Tom & Jerry cartoons ever made. Tom getting dressed up as a baby by a little girl is priceless in itself. Add Jerry, and a few alley cats to the mix, and you got one funny cartoon. Not to be missed!

An annoying prepubescent white girl dresses Tom the cat up as a baby, a bonnet, little booties, a diaper, the whole nine yards. Tom only puts up with it to get the delicious milk and is having a good time until Jerry the mouse sees him which enrages him while the mouse mocks him. Later Jerry gets Tom's feline friends over and embarrass's him further. I hear some people say this one is too sadistic. Hello.. this is a Tom and Jerry cartoon people. If you think it's too sadistic go watch the ultra-liberal crap-fest that is "Captain Planet" This hilarious cartoon can be found on disc one of the Spotlight collection DVD of "Tom & Jerry".

My Grade: A

This is one of my favorite Tom and Jerry cartoons from 1943. In this short, the little girl of the house forced Tom to play "baby," and he did not like it one bit! After the child leaves the room, Jerry peeks out from behind a dollhouse and sees Tom enjoying the milk from the bottle. He then mocks Tom by playing "Rock-a-Bye Baby" on the turntable and pretending to be a baby. I love that part. Tom is furious and chases Jerry into the dollhouse. Just when it seems that Tom has Jerry cornered, Nancy returns and scolds Tom again. Tucking Tom back in bed, Nancy threatens to feed him castor oil if he gets out again.

Jerry emerges from the doll house and runs to the window to get the attention of Meathead (from the short Sufferin' Cats! ), Butch, and Topsy, Tom's three alley cat friends, who are outside. When the trio sees Tom, they begin to make fun of him. When Tom confronts the other cats, they continue to tease and humiliate him. Poor Tom. Overall, I love this cartoon.

Just brilliant I can sit and watch these with my kids and enjoy them like when I was a kid . I introduced my son to them a few years ago. Today my daughters turn loving dolls this was a great episode for her to start with. She loved the episode
