T&J were always my favourite cartoon characters growing up, and this is one of their better outings. "Tom" decides to get all scientific in his quest to eat "Jerry" so he buys a book. The definitive guide to how to catch your lunch and eat it. Of course, the more cunning the trap the more "Jerry" makes mincemeat of it, indeed after a few failed attempts it seems the tables have been well and truly turned on the hapless cat! Poor old "Tom" just never seems to learn and the writer of this new manual has clearly never met a mouse as inventive and tenacious as "Jerry". There's a scene with a stethoscope that is genuinely laugh-out-loud and though much of the rest is fairly standard, explosive, fayre, this is still a fun opportunity for the never changing dynamic between the pair to, well, what do you think?
