Yet another delightful Tom and Jerry cartoon. The best? Probably not. The funniest? Same answer really. Entertaining? Very! In short I thoroughly enjoyed this cartoon. It did have a nice story, probably not the most original but is still effective, and the sight gags are very funny and inventive. What I loved most about The Million Dollar Cat though was the animation, the backgrounds were lovely, the colouring audacious, the characters well drawn and the skyscrapers wonderful and majestic to look at. True, there are better looking Tom and Jerry cartoons, but for its time it is perfectly reasonable. The music as always is energetic, while Tom and Jerry are both great as Jerry constantly reminds Tom "not even a mouse". Overall, very entertaining and well animated. 10/10 Bethany Cox

In this picture from 1944, Tom gets an telegram that states he inherited a million dollars. Provided he dosen't harm any living creature including an mouse. Jerry loves the clause but Tom dosen't. They end up in Park Avenue in an New York City apartment and throughout the picture, Jerry keeps reminding Tom about the telegram. Which forces Tom to seemingly to make sure Jerry's death was acendental. However, no matter what Tom does, there was Jerry not far behind. They even shared an bed together expect that Jerry pushes tom off the bed and just when Tom is preparing to kill Jerry with an bat, he reminds Tom about the telegram. So, Tom hits himself with the bat. Eventually, Tom's had it and stuffed Jerry's mouth with the telegram,and starts his revenge with Jerry. He tells the audience that he's throwing away an million dollars. But, he's happy and resumes his revenge. Now this is one of an few films that either character speaks as well. I recommend it as well.This picture gets an 8 out of 10.

Tom gets interrupted from playing William Tell with darts (with Jerry being the poor victim with the apple on his head) when he gets a telegram stating his "eccentric Aunt Harriet" died and has left him a million dollars!Jerry is all excited, too, as happy as Tom. How could that be? Well, points to the bottom of the telegram, which Tom didn't see. It said "all benefits will cease should the cat bring harm to any living thing EVEN A MOUSE."Tom makes all the headlines in the New York City papers as he marches his way to a penthouse on Park Avenue. (Jerry has a mouse hole with a veranda on top that says, 1/2 Park Ave. He wears a top hat, tails, gloves, etc., too!)However, as the story unfolds we get the message that "money doesn't buy happiness." Jerry hogs most of Tom's luxury items and food and each time the cat is ready to kill the mouse, Jerry pulls out the telegram reminding him he can't. It's driving Tom nuts. In the end, well, he'd rather be poor and happy by beating the crap out of Jerry.In all, I would label it slightly below-par, laugh-wise. It looks like one of the earliest Tom and Jerry animated shorts. The artwork is not up to par and it just has a primitive feel to it.

This is absolutely one of my favorite Tom & Jerry Short! It Starts when Tom is playing dart and jerry is in the goal-table, Tom receive a telegram saying that his masters aunt has left 1 million dollars to Tom, he screams out his happiness and Jerry is wondering why he is so happy, then he goes and read the letter and it says that if Tom hurts a living thing, he loses all his money.. Tom moves to Park Ave and of course Jerry follows him to his new place, and torment him all the time by eating Tom's food, throwing him out the bed, using the shower all the morning knowing that Tom can do nothing to stop him..The next morning Tom is waiting to enter the Bathroom but jerry is in there and he opens the door and take Tom's towel and closes the door and Tom is trying to open the door but fails, He begins to think how he can get rid of Jerry and gets an idea! He writes a paper where it says ''Fire Exit'' and put it in the window and he starts a little Fire and Jerry jumps down the skyscraper and Tom is so happy and go to eat his breakfast but then to his surprise Jerry appears with the cutlery and eat up all Tom's food, throwing food at him and degrade him, Tom get's Furious and tear the Telegram apart and press the teared paper in Jerry's Mouth and screams in anger and destroy the whole table and gets enraged against Jerry and he speaks too! ''Im throwing away a million dollars.. But I'm Still happy!'' And so it ends...Enormously funny entertainment! If you haven't seen it i strongly recommend it!My Grade: A+
