Tom and Jerry on automatic.
The 1950s saw the dawn of the space age, mankind spellbound by the advanced technological marvels of the foreseeable future. This T&J cartoon sees Mammy Two Shoes (in her final appearance) embracing the wonders of modern science by purchasing Mechano, an amazing mouse-catching robot cat, making poor Tom redundant in the process. At first the machine does its job brilliantly, but Jerry, keen to get back to the comfort of his mouse-hole, throws a few spanners (or wind-up mice) in the works.
Push-Button Kitty has a great central idea, and Mechano is a cool creation, armed with saws, axes, dynamite and a gun, the metal moggy causing more mayhem than Tom ever did; but despite a fast pace and lots of chaos, this one simply doesn't deliver enough solid laughs to qualify it as one of the more entertaining of Tom and Jerry shorts.
