CAST: Tom, Jerry, a bulldog, a gatekeeper, and various heavenly express-bound cats.
Directors: WILLIAM HANNA, Joseph BARBERA. Animators: Ray Patterson, Irven Spence, Kenneth Muse, Ed Barge. Music: Scott Bradley. Color by Technicolor. Western Electric Sound System. Producer: Fred Quimby.
Copyright 17 June 1949 (in notice: 1948) by Loew's Inc. An M-G-M "Tom and Jerry" cartoon. U.S. release: 9 July 1949. 8 minutes.
COMMENT: I'm surprised this one wasn't nominated for an Academy Award. Tom finds he can't enter heaven unless he obtains a "Certificate of Forgiveness" from Jerry. The escalator to heaven is truly magical, the cauldron of hell unspeakably terrifying. A pleasantly off-beat story, with many neat touches.
