- TriviaThe arduous, amorous ginger tabby pursuing Tom sounds uncannily like Pepe Le Pew, right down to the catchphrase, "C'est la Guerre!" Of course, Mel Blanc voiced both characters.

Featured review
After the Era of Gene Deitch ended with a Decent and at the same time Memorable Short, Chuck Jones came to Humiliate all of Deitch's Works by creating enough Good Shorts with a lot of energy and gags and memorable and funny scenes but it seems that in this short they found themselves without a Specific Plot and only added the Scenes that they craved in an Unequal Short that is both entertaining to watch but not very funny.
In General the Short does not have a Plot, it is just a bag of jokes out of place and that come at inappropriate times, the energy that the Title presumes does not appear anywhere and the only thing I can thank it for was having entertained me and having taken me out some smiles.
The Animation is still Good, the Buildings, the Street and the City in general are well drawn and resemble the American Cities of the Mid 60s but the Animation does not look as Fluid as in other Shorts but it is still much superior to all the Gene Deitch era.
Eugene Podanny made Music that fits very well in the Atmosphere of the Short, in this case the Music if It Has Energy as opposed to the uneven and out of place gags, the Opening with Tom and Jerry running on the roof has a very Nice Initial Score and well composed.
As always Mel Blanc does a Good Voice Acting providing the Voice to the cat Frances and Jerry, Tom gives a Nasty Scream which concludes with Jerry mimicking the Scream in a Funny Way, the Sound Effects are Typical of Jones and fit well in the Short.
In itself, Tom-Ic Energy is one of the least funny of Chuck Jones and is quite Unequal in terms of Gags but it makes up for being Entertaining and having good Music, the rest would only be quite Normal like the scene with the French Cat which goes on too long leaving a meh gag.
For everything I said before, this short gets a 7.
