During yet another pursuit of Jerry, Tom ends up being killed when an upright piano slides down the stairs and slams into him. He meets a feline St. Peter at the gate of the Heavenly Express, but is initially turned away due to his constant torture. However, he will be allowed onto the train if he can have Jerry sign a letter of forgiveness within one hour. If not, it's Hell for Tom. Will he go up or down?

Clevercell Very disappointing...
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
BA_Harrison Fatally crushed by a piano while pursuing Jerry, Tom must be assessed before being permitted to ride the Heavenly Express; rather than being congratulated for his mouse chasing efforts, he is told that he has one hour to seek Jerry's forgiveness or he will forever be condemned to Hell.After a couple of fun but relatively uninspired capers—The Little Orphan and Hatch Up Your Troubles—it's nice to see the people behind Tom and Jerry at least trying something a little different for a change, even if it isn't a wholly successful idea. The basic premise—that Tom would be punished for all eternity just for following his natural instincts—is admittedly daft, but it's a lot of fun to see Tom begging Jerry to sign his name while the devil (Butch the Bulldog) prepares a bubbling pot of brimstone in Hell.Of course, it all ends up being a dream, and thus a bit of a cop-out, but it's fun while it lasts. Plus, it has a gag about drowned kittens in a sack—not something you see every day in a cartoon!
TheLittleSongbird As an avid fan of Tom and Jerry, I enjoyed Heavenly Puss. I too couldn't help thinking of Pluto's Judgement Day when I saw this, and while that was very good this in my opinion was better. I loved the concept of the cartoon, the Heavenly Express looked amazing and Hell looked incredibly scary, I couldn't help feeling sorry for Tom as he begged for Jerry to sign for forgiveness. I also loved the artwork, with beautiful backgrounds and interesting character designs, and the music was really clever here ascending scales as Tom went up those stairs up into Heaven and the more dramatic threatening tones for Hell. There isn't anything hilarious here, but what stood out here was the cartoon's uniqueness. And the characters are fine, Jerry isn't given as much to do but he is still his sweet self, and Spike does a great job as the devilish dog figure with a laugh that still frightens me. I also liked the kindly conductor, he had some great dialogue, but as I've said before (sort of) Tom is the star of the show, although he is dastardly to begin with, his pleas for forgiveness are heart breaking and then the ending with him hugging Jerry(more to do with Jerry's confused facial expression) was quite funny. Oh, and those kittens are absolutely adorable. Overall, different but unique. 10/10 Bethany Cox
Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) When I had watch this short, it's kind of like Disney's "Pluto's Judgement Day" (your judgement day nightmare) of course I thought of "Judgement Day" as in when you had died your soul will be judged. I had always question myself of the concept of Heaven and Hell, and OH! those little kittens are SO cute and I felt sorry for them; some people are just cruel.Well down to basics : In this short, Tom got "killed" while chasing Jerry. He goes to heaven and meets the cat who meets dead cats boarding the "Heavenly Express." Tom is given one hour to have Jerry sign a certificate of forgiveness. If Jerry signs, he goes to Heaven; if he doesn't then he goes to Hell. I love the ending and Jerry's "O-K what just happen?" look on his face, when Tom kisses him.
Twinkling82 I just saw this cartoon for the fourth time this week in boomerang on Cartoon Network this evening and turned on my computer again - just to check this out... and wondered - the cat who check and clears the cats for the heavenly express, isn't it Anthony Hopkins voice?? wondered and checked it out on this site, and it turned out that there where no voice records on this - and I read Anthonys as well... turned out nothing.. maybe its me?? would like to get some voice records - or just an answer for my wondering... this is one of my favorite tom and jerry small time cartoon.../L
