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

Kitty Foiled is one of the blandest and most generic T&J shorts I have ever seen. I don't think I laughed once. Every gag is a rehash lifted from another cartoon. How many times has Tom's teeth been smashed like a window now?
The short has T&J already involved in a pointless chase as soon as it starts. A canary (an annoying new character) witnesses what appears to be Jerry's potential demise and interrupts to save him by attacking Tom, Jerry then saves the canary in a similar way. The bird and the mouse then team up to make the kitty's life hell with lots of boring assaults on Tom. And I just don't care.

Tom is wrecking the house, smashing everything in sight with a broom while trying to hit Jerry. The little canary in the bird cage sees Jerry in big trouble, gets out his cage and comes to the mouse's rescue. Jerry then chases the bird, and he when he's got him and ready to move in for the kill, Jerry returns the favor and rescues the little yellow-feathered guy.
Those two then escape for a breather in Jerry's mouse hole. They shake hands and become a team, doing battle with the cat.
The whole cartoon has a lot of funny and clever scenes. This is one of the better Tom and Jerry efforts and makes me realize once again how talented there writers were on these animated short subjects. This is "Exhibit A" why these cartoons were so popular.

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
I wouldn't want to let my daughter see it because it's not for kids to sit down and see, as in with gun that they put in there and also with the look that was on Tom's face when he was on the train.
I wouldn't want to see it again because it's not funny.
I did see this one when it was on TV long before I started high school and I don't believe that I laughed when I saw it back then. The ones(that wrote this one)probably got ideas from other cartoons.
What you have here is too violent and STILL too violent, so, that's why I only gave it a 1star review. I'm sorry if I did it but I had to do it.
And it also wasn't fun for me to see.

- TriviaAs with most cartoons of this era, the attention to background detail is amazing. Even the wooden interior of the mousehole is drawn accurately. Of course, cartoons were shown as part of a cinema feature, in the years before TV. So while kids liked the sight gags, adults appreciated the wonderfully furnished homes ,(with all the latest gadgets) that were shown.
- GoofsWhen the canary picks up the pistol in one scene, the pistol's handle turns from brown to silver and turns back to brown in the next scene.
