Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Not a bad cartoon, and it does pick up after the setup. I'm surprised though that no one has commented on the unoriginality of using exactly the same plot device as the several Sylvester the cat and Hippety Hopper cartoons, where Sylvester mistakes a baby kangaroo for a giant mouse, gets beat up, goes crazy, etcetra, etcetera. I guess there's only so many ideas to be had for cat-mouse battles, so you gotta get 'em where you can? Then there's also that Tom and Jerry cartoon that copies another Looney Tunes even more precisely - Bugs Bunny as concert pianist fighting a mouse sleeping inside the piano, leading to chaos vs a proper formal recital. Tom and Jerry did the same thing a little later - even used the same piece of classical music! Makes me wonder what other ideas were "borrowed" from Looney Tunes. No matter. If it's done well, still a worthy short.

A baby elephant falls from a moving circus train and rolls into a house, landing in Tom's basket. Jerry befriends the new arrival, disguising it to look like a giant mouse in order to terrorise Tom.In the world of Tom and Jerry, a painted pachyderm (its trunk rolled up and coloured black) looks just like a giant mouse; if you can swallow such a silly concept, then Jerry and Jumbo should deliver lots of laughs, the highlight for me being the classic 'mirror' routine whereby Tom runs to and fro past a gap in the wall, the mouse and the elephant taking it in turns to mimic the cat's movements.There are lots of laughs to be had as Tom tries to figure out what is happening, before the baby elephant's mother arrives and joins in on the fun, becoming an even larger 'mouse', all of which sends the poor cat completely off his rocker.

The cartoon does start off a tad too slow, and the story is on the predictable side. But Jerry and Jumbo is a rock-solid Tom and Jerry cartoon, that is both hilarious and cute. The animation is really nice and colourful as these cartoons usually are, and the music is delightful. The sight gags serve their purpose well too, the best being the running gag of Jumbo sucking things with his trunk with such powerful force, and the ending is very unexpected in a good way. The pacing is in general brisk and efficient, and the characters are great, the best actually being the very cute elephant Jumbo. Overall, a rock-solid cartoon with a lot going for it. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Boy, they really stretch credibility here, right from the start....but it's a cartoon and, as we all know, "anything goes" in animated shorts. Here, a baby elephant on a circus train falls out of a compartment, rolls down a hill, tumbles through the front door, over furniture and lands in Tom's sleeping basket! Yeah, right!The story centers around the elephant being painted to look a big version of Jerry and you know who is going to get the short end of the stick regarding violence and pain. There are good sight gags in here, different things, mainly with the little mouse/big mouse theme. Another major element is the incredible sucking power of the elephant's trunk. It's a solid entry in the Tom & Jerry collection with a good mix of comedy and cuteness. One wonders, though, during all the commotion, where were the people who own the house?
