Featured review
A Grand Opera followed by a Harbor Chase
Tom and Jerry cartoons directed by Chuck Jones always had a place in my heart, Jones's style suited Tom and Jerry very well and the Character Designs were Cute and completely different from the Previous ones, there was good animation and quite a lot of content for fun.
In this Strange adventure of the duo of cat and mouse, we see Tom arrive at a port while in the process he sings in a wonderful way "Santa Lucia" by Enrico Caruso, after indirectly kidnapping Jerry he fills him with sugar to drink it in a sweet and delicious tea!, but a mysterious feline deceives him in the most stupid way possible and Tom is not going to let himself win because of that Cat!.
The Plot is quite Absurd but there are certainly funny scenes and with a pretty good rhythm, the Gags come Quickly and we are quickly introduced to an Orange Cat that has all the Characteristics of a Chuck Jones Character.
The Animation is Very Good by Late 60s Standards, it even still looks pretty good, the Color Blending works and the Backgrounds look Beautiful, the Movements are fluid and the Chases are nicely animated as usual.
The Music is Glorious, the Brilliant adaptation of Santa Lucia is arguably one of Eugene Poddany's greatest efforts in the series, the Music that follows, although a bit inferior, is Fun, Cute and holds its own in the mood.
The Cartoon manages to stand out for its Unpredictable plot and having a couple of musical scenes, it also stands out in its Gags, although not the best, they are Decent and there is something to laugh with, the Animation balances well with the Music and creates an environment fun and frenetic that is benefited by several scenes of persecution and fight by the Felines.
In itself, it is not the Best of Jones and much less of Tom and Jerry, but it is Fun and cheerful, it has several memorable scenes as well as good gags and excellent music and animation, totally recommended if you are looking for an original plot, fun and a excellent caricature.
For everything I said above, this cartoon gets an 8.
