Babysitter wider willen

I liked Busy Buddies very much as I do with most Tom and Jerry cartoons, but at the same time I didn't love it. It is fairly light on story and the babysitter is a plot device if little else. The animation this said is wonderful, with lots of detail and lush colours, while the upbeat, beautifully orchestrated and action-enhancing music still manages to impress. The gags, revolving mainly around the lengths Tom and Jerry go to raid the kitchen of food, are clever and well-timed, while not feeling routine at the same time. What was also interesting about Busy Buddies was that this was one of the rare occurrences where Tom and Jerry were on the same side, which was a refreshing change from the norm. The duo are their likable selves and their rapport is as ever irresistible. The baby is also a well-utilised addition and works well with Tom and Jerry.

So all in all, fun if not one of Tom and Jerry's best. 8/10 Bethany Cox
