Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Michael_Elliott The Mouse Comes to Dinner (1945)*** (out of 4)Tom gets a cute cat to come over to dinner so he obviously wants to impress her so he makes Jerry serve the food, which of course ends up with one fight after another. THE MOUSE COMES TO DINNER is certainly an entertaining film that manages to go at a very fast pace and of course there are plenty of laughs as well. This film offers up some rather creative fights and especially the sequence where Tom keeps biting his own tail. Another highlight is the scene where the poor cat is too stupid to realize that he's on fire and not in a good way. As you'd expect the animation is top-notch as are the sound effects, which certainly add a few nice laughs.

Foreverisacastironmess I've practically seen all of these things and I've yet to see one quite as brutal as this! It's so unfair the way this episode was banned from DVD or a TV screening because of the appearance of Mammy Two-Shoes at the beginning. What a complete load of crap, although it does actually annoy me a little when she appears in the guise of a maid. It feels a lot more wrong as opposed to when she's the owner of the house. I'm well aware that in this "ideal" age of over-sensitivity and political-correctness, more people than not will likely see the character as nothing more than a bad stereotype and offensive, and perhaps they've got some kind of point, but I personally have always found her brisk, bakin' cookies momma's way manner and personality to be warm, cosy. Homely. I love Mammy. Okay, the violence featured in this particular Tom and Jerry offering seemed to be a little more extreme than the usual fare. Tom is set on fire, fried, stabbed, hammered, bitten, tricked into biting his own tongue, tricked into biting his own tail twice(the dumbass!), and drowned! It's open warfare on the dinner table and everything such a table has to offer is taken full advantage of. Several choice assaults that I found enjoyably shocking were the tongue-biting, when Tom leaps into the air and almost lands on a carefully-placed knife, and when Tom knocks Jerry out with the spoon. I kinda hope no kids ever tried to imitate this stuff(!) I don't get why the people complain about the noise of the chaos being overheard or whatever-as if you quibble about things of that nature when you're watching a Tom and Jerry! Some things that I didn't care for was the design of Tom's date. She was so weirdly small, not much bigger than Jerry. I also really dislike it whenever the characters speak. It completely destroys their precious mystique. Although it was very good, I did find the quality of the animation to be a little crude in comparison to a lot of the other 50's shorts. The Mouse Comes to Dinner feels to me like it could be verging on being a bit bland at times, but the eye-popping gags thankfully more than keep it going, and if not exactly a perfect one, make the show a very good, entertaining lil' ride and well worth anybody's while. One last thing, just in case you didn't know, this is the Tom and Jerry that E.T. screams at in the movie of the same name!

Dawalk-1 This is one of my favorite Tom and Jerry featurettes and I rank this one up there with other classics starring them that I'd consider the best. Tom invites his girlfriend, Tootles, over for dinner, but Jerry gets in on the meal unannounced and he just won't let them have this event to themselves. This is the rare time (if not just one of those rare times) in which we get to hear Tom and Tootles speak, and Tom has solely one line throughout the entire cartoon. I find the little dialog they have interesting. I agree with one of the other reviewers who mentioned that this would be perfect for Thanksgiving. I remember this one well. Full of hilarious moments. This one is not to be passed.

Shawn Watson Mammy-Two-Shoes (who was actually NOT dubbed in the version I watched, would you believe) has set up a huge banquet for guests of some kind, who will be arriving soon. Tom sneaks into the dining room and calls his girlfriend Toots, inviting her over.Using Jerry as a reluctant butler Tom tries numerous times to impress Toots and fails again and again. What was surprising about this cartoon is that it's a bit crueler than usual. The violence and pain were on level with an episode of Itchy and Scratchy. There is even one moment of torture in which Tom holds Jerry, in a teaspoon, over a candle.Hey, I'm not complaining. I'm not some nut who is against cartoon violence. I actually thought that this one was damn funny.
