Tom, el Tejano

I have always been a huge Tom and Jerry fan. Texas Tom was one of my favourites from them as a child and as a young adult it still is. Texas Tom is part of Tom and Jerry's best overall era(which was right up to 1956 for me) and the beautifully coloured and detailed animation reflects that perfectly. Another high point is the music, the orchestral music is very lively, and the songs are catchy with very clever lyrics. The gags are plentiful and are very inventive in how they're executed, especially the ones with the revolver and the turntable record, while the story makes a potential clichéd concept seem fresh instead and there is never a dull moment. Tom and Jerry are still likable and excel at just doing what they do best. Their chemistry is still inspired. In conclusion, an outstanding Tom and Jerry cartoon and one of their better ones in my opinion. 10/10 Bethany Cox

In this story Tom and Jerry are decked out in western wear as the setting is a Texas ranch. Tom as a cowboy is quite smooth, as demonstrated by his cigarette-rolling ability and flawless lip sync, while trying to impress cowgirl kitty. Jerry, of course, must thwart Tom's efforts to charm-in ways that provide lots of laughs. A bull gets involved, and as usual there is much trouble for Tom.

This is not one of my favorites, but by far still one of the better episodes.

What they were doing at a ranch is unknown, like many of the settings we see them in. But it really doesn't matter; they're enjoyable wherever we find them!

Apparently such a good episode that it can be found on both volumes 1 and 2 (disc 2 for each) of the Spotlight Collection DVD set.

Tom and Jerry are in Texas as cowboys. When a beautiful female cat arrives Tom falls instantly in love and tries to be really cool. Of course Jerry makes sure he has not got a single chance.

This is one of the funniest cartoons from Tom and Jerry. Every joke is a good one and the songs used are quite good as well and perfect for the story. Simply great.

Tom the Cat is having fun with Jerry the mouse in the old West lassoing him up. Until a girl cat comes along and sets Tom's heart on fire. He waists no time in trying to woo her. Of course Jerry doesn't want Tom happy. So he, along with some help from a bull, try to put the kibosh on Tom's chance at love. The hit to miss joke ratio in this one is greatly in favor of the hits. And it's very enjoyable throughout. Of course I'm biased as i pretty much love anything by the cat & mouse duo. This hilarious classic cartoon can be found on disc two of the Spotlight collection DVD of "Tom & Jerry"

My grade: A

Tom, now a cowboy (or cowcat) on a farm somewhere in Texas is involved in his usual pursuit of Jerry when a gorgeous girl cat arrives. He is immediately smitten and falls in love, hoping to impress her with a tough guy act, and serenading her with a mimed song.

Not taking too kindly to being treated as a slave in his love game, Jerry messes up Tom's plans and gets him on the wrong side of the farmyard bull. It's a pretty funny cartoon, especially when Jerry tampers with the speed of the record Tom is miming to, and there's quite a bit of inventive visual humor too. I just wish that Tom would get the girl for once.
