O-Solar-Meow (1967)
9/10
a backfire victory for Tom
11 June 2022
This was one of the first Tom and Jerry shorts in General that I saw, I remember seeing it on Television years ago and it is as good as I remembered it, directed by Abe Levitow and Produced by Chuck Jones O-Solar-Meow manages to entertain with his Jokes and have an Original Plot for that Moment.

Tom and Jerry as always are Nice Characters and it's fun to see them Fight, the Robot Cat and the Robot Mouse are Decent Characters that have their Moments, making a Short in Space was a good Idea (Unlike Mouse into Space) where here are the Designs of High Quality are Present at every Moment.

Mel Blanc's Voice Acting is Strange as he can only be heard Coughing (which is the only thing that makes the characters emit sounds in this short) making Blanc's acting not as Memorable as in other Shorts.

This was Eugene Poddany's Last Short with Music and it shows that he gave it his all, but in spite of that he does not manage to create memorable music but in spite of that it is Pretty Decent.

The Animation is Elegant with Beautiful Colors left in the Environment, the Character Movements are great and they look Deluxe just like the other Chuck Jones cartoons.

The Sound Effects have the Typical tone of Chuck Jones being very Cartoony making them fun but not on the Scale of other Hanna Barbera Sound Effects but despite that they are Quite Passable.

Itself O-Solar-Meow is a Great Short that despite its flaws manages to Entertain, its Music and Environment manages to create a fun Sensation like any other Chuck Jones short, its Ending is Funny, but the Part of Tom being Forced Fixing the Air Leak while an Astronaut Points a Rifle at it doesn't look too Nice, but what is Nice is Jerry eating Cheese on a Planet Full of Cheese, my Rating for this Wonder is an 9.
