Featured review
Springtime For Thomas But in the Caribbean and with less charm
Most of Gene Deitch's drawings don't seem as bad to me as most but I can't deny that they are Bad, Calypso Cat had a Decent idea that had already been applied in the past with Springtime for Thomas but here Things are more boring and obviously badly animated.
The idea of the short is the same as in Springtime for Thomas, nothing more than the only thing that changes is Jerry, who is the one who prevents Tom from falling in love in this case with a Persian cat and the gags leave a lot to say but they are not as cruel as in the previous shorts.
The Short Revolves Around Tom boarding a Ship in which a Cat is going and he tries to make her fall in love and when he fails miserably because of Jerry when he arrives at an Island or some place (which seems to be somewhere in Yucatan) Tom ends up begging him to the Cat so they can walk around, when they arrive at a place a Cat with a Mexican look plays a kind of drum and in the end the Mexican cat ends up winning and he steals the Cat from Tom ending with Tom and Jerry fighting again and at end there is no winner.
The animation is still a tremendous mess, the backgrounds, in addition to Simple, have boring and too flat colors, it does not help that Tom, Jerry and the Persian cat look decent since their Movements are choppy and too Sharp, the design of the Calypso Cat is Terrible, it has a generic appearance with a Straw hat and a drum, the Island or the place where they are looks completely boring, poorly done and poorly colored.
Many people like the Music in this short and I don't understand why, the music is boringly generic and competes with Tall In The Trap to be the short of the entire Tom and Jerry franchise with the worst Music, the music, besides being stereotyped, is not it has a lot of fun since basically the music is only in the short because yes and even without music the short would be the same.
As there is no voice acting in this short I will skip this part.
The sound effects are horrendous and obviously poorly synthesized and in the opening scene the sounds of Tom hitting the Rope are not even in sync due to poor editing.
This short presented an acceptable idea at this point of tom and jerry but it was wasted with unequal gags, bad and generic music and lousy animation with colors out of place, the Characters are unpleasant especially the Persian Cat and the Calypso Cat which end up being Annoying in their few interesting scenes.
In itself, a short of Questionable Quality that becomes boring since the plot becomes obvious from the start with Boring Gags and the only one that stands out is the one with the Matches on Tom's fingers, the short has bad characters and little freeloaders who could have given more like the Calypso Cat and the Persian Cat which end up being annoying, the Scenes where Tom and Jerry chase each other are uninteresting and the only thing I liked about the short is the final scene with Tom and Jerry returning to their typical chases.
For everything I said before, this short gets a 5.
