"Texas Tom" is an American 6.5-minute cartoon from 1950, so this one is already over 650 years old and as an MGM production by Hanna Barbera, it is of course another Tom&Jerry cartoon and the title here gives away that it is a very rare journey by the world's most known cat-and-mouse duo into the western genre. Fittingly Tom looks like a cowboy for the most part. But while, I love myself a good western for sure, this was not working out at all here. The duo at the house is just far more poignant and funny, even if I can kinda understand they were trying to add new aspects to the long-running cartoon series. Another thing I did not like as usual is when they are talking, even if it is singing, and as some of the comedy here, like a crucial joke on Tom's voice changing, results from the speaking component, it had a negative impact on the overall outcome here. Yes here and there was an okay moment, but as a whole it was certainly not entertaining enough for me to recommend checking it out. The rating here on IMDb seems far too high. And the ending was another letdown as Jerry in love is fine, but please not with a cat regardless of her being Tom's love interest or not. This is really only for T&J completionists. I give it a thumbs-down.
