Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
BA_Harrison Scaredy cat George pays his cousin Tom a visit, despite being terrified of mice. When Jerry encounters George, he mistakes him for Tom, and is surprised when the cat runs away instead of chasing him. Jerry takes every opportunity to scare George, but when Tom realises the mouse's mistake, he and George use the situation to have some fun of their own.While it's funny at first to see Jerry scaring George, the gag wears thin fast and genuine laughs are few and far between. Thankfully, the cartoon closes in fine style with Tom and George teaming together to scare the hell out of Jerry, the cats posing as an eight-legged, two-headed cat monster.5.5 out of 10, rounded up to 6 for IMDb.
TheLittleSongbird The animation here is not as good as it could have been in my opinion, there are some very nice colours but the backgrounds especially lack the finesse and detail that were there in the Tom and Jerry cartoons when Fred Quimby was in charge. However, there is much to like in Timid Tabby. The music is terrific, catchy, lushly orchestrated and adds a lot to the quality of the humour. And the humour is of very funny quality, the violence is still within the spirit of Tom and Jerry and never falls into the trap of being too cartoonish or too sadistic and the gags are simple like the story but lively and clever. The pacing never lags and the ending is fitting. Timid Tabby is also different from most Tom and Jerry cartoons, Tom's cousin, who is terrified of mice, looks practically identical to him(you can mistake them for twins easily) and speaks and Jerry is the butt of much of the violence, which I don't remember happening before. These though are different in a good way, it was nice to have a change yet the basic spirit of the earlier cartoons remain. All the characters are likable, and Bill Thompson's vocals add a lot to the character of Tom's cousin. Overall, a different but very good cartoon that could have been even stronger with better animation. 8/10 Bethany Cox
nickwells85 In this tom and Jerry cartoon, Tom's cousin George, who is afraid of mice, comes for a visit. Since, George and Tom look alike, Jerry thinks that Tom is now scared to death of him until Tom and George decide that it's time for a revenge. Another thing you should notice is that George sounds like Ranger Woodlore from the Humphrey cartoons. That's because he is voiced by actor Bill Thompson who also voiced Mr. Smee in Peter pan and the white Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland. Ever since seeing that Cousin George is scared to death of mice, I have often wondered if he has met Jerry's cousin Muscles or Uncle Pesos. If you are a Tom and Jerry fan like me, I would definitely recommend this cartoon, it is a classic!
Robert Reynolds This one, though no rousing barn-burner, won't put you to sleep either. It has a few good moments here and there. Tom's cousin speaks and though the voicework is uncredited and I don't know with anything even remotely approaching certainty who does it here, it does sound like the same voice that did Droopy, Bill Thompson. Don't bet on that, though-I don't know for sure, it just sounds like him and it is plausible. Decent cartoon that proves Tom has family too. Worth watching at least once. Recommended.
