Kitty Foiled

Tom tries to catch both Jerry and a canary. Jerry and the bird trick Tom by dressing as an Indian and making him think he got shot. Tom catches Jerry and ties him to toy train tracks, but the canary sends the feline down to the ground with a bowling ball.

This is was the first Tom and Jerry decent episode after Dr, Jekyll and Mr. Mouse in my opinion! This episode is really good and funny in my opinion, this episode has a good animation and sountrack. This episode is a way better than the 1947 crappy episodes, they were too bad and bald in my opinion!

I would rate this as 10/10

Tom can't seem to catch a break-he not only has Jerry to chase (difficult in and of itself, as witness his monumental failure rate), but a little yellow bird sticks his beak in matters at the most inopportune (for Tom) moments. An important object lesson is taught to the two allies at a point of seeming success: premature celebration may be hazardous to one's longevity of health and/or life. Save the congratulations for a safer time and place. Most entertaining and executed short from when Tom and Jerry were definitely in flower. Well worth watching and most highly recommended.

I thoroughly enjoyed Kitty Foiled, never once did I find it generic and bland but that is just me. The sight gags are plentiful, and all of them work thanks to primarily the fast pacing. The best of them is when Tom ties Jerry to a railway track, and the canary saves Jerry's life by making a bowling ball fall through the track(and Tom falls through the hole of course), though everything else is on the money. As per usual, the production values and music are top notch, and while Tom is more sadistic than usual he is fun. And you really feel sorry for Jerry, but I had real admiration for the cute canary, anybody who saves Jerry's life is a friend of mine, that's what I'd say. Overall, thoroughly enjoyable and a lot of fun. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Another routine Tom and Jerry escapade, Kitty Foiled is given the 'new character' treatment in an effort to disguise the fact that we've seen most of the gags before.

This time around, Jerry is given a hand (or, rather, a wing) in his fight against Tom by a cute canary; together, the little bird and the plucky mouse are more than a match for the cat, repeatedly teaching him to pick on someone his own size by violently smashing, bashing and generally hurting the poor moggy (who, let's face it, is just following his natural instincts!!!).

Towards the end of this rather tedious episode there are one or two moments that shine (the cat caught in the bear rug gag, and the bowling ball bomb), but, in general, this is one of the duo's lesser efforts.
