Horst in Translation ([email protected]) Or do the really? Maybe they are just faking it? Watch for yourself. "Polka-Dot Puss" is an over 65-year-old cartoon that runs slightly over 7 minutes as usual and the humor here relies on the protagonists getting the measles. All kinds of chaos ensue, for example involving a thermometer. i have seen some of the Tom & Jerry cartoons and I am a bit surprised this one is actually among their most known as I personally did not find it as smart or funny. I liked other works by these two more, maybe because the focus here is not really on the cat-mouse rivalry, but drifts away from the core of these cartoons on more than one occasions. In the end, karma strikes for Jerry. I don't recommend the watch. Thumbs down.

TheLittleSongbird The first minute or so is not as interesting as the rest of the cartoon, and the cartoon is perhaps too short. However, Polka-Dot Puss is very entertaining and light-hearted. The animation is beautiful and smooth, the music is energetic and the story is clever. Plus the sight gags are really inventive and unusual, starting with Tom's faking of his illness in order to stay in the house to the surprise ending which is another good example of neither character winning. Both Tom and Jerry are great and play against each other well.Overall, Polka-Dot Puss is very entertaining, without being the best of the lot. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Shawn Watson This short begins with Tom using Jerry as a yo-yo for his own pleasure before Mammy-Two-Shoes (dubbed to appease the PC Brigade in the version I saw) orders him out of the house for the night, despite the fact that it's pouring with rain. Why does she insist on torturing him like this again? Anyway, Tom pretends to be ill so he can stay indoors, by the fire. But Jerry is having none of it.He convinces Tom that he has measles by paining dots on his face and proceeds to 'cure' him using a wide range of gruesome anecdotes, which make up the visual humor of the cartoon. In the end, they both pay for their untruths.An amusing cartoon.

Antzy88 When the black maid tries to put Tom out for the night -- in the heavy rain -- he feigns a cold to keep himself inside. Makeshift doctor Jerry gives Tom a cure he'll never forget...A very enjoyable, light-hearted cartoon with an added twist at the end.
