Quiet Please!

Tom and Jerry have always been one of animation's most iconic duos, and their cartoons never fail to provide audiences with many laughs. "Quiet, Please!" is one of the best Tom and Jerry cartoons from personal opinion, and is a must-watch for animation fans all over. The animation is crisp, smooth and beautiful, and the colors nicely blend in with each scene. Love the attention to detail and especially the gags, which are hilarious and extremely well-timed. The music is equally wonderful and charmingly orchestrated, and is such a joy to listen to throughout the cartoon.

This is one of Tom and Jerry's most memorable outputs; the chase scenes here are engaging and fast-paced, and the main characters' antagonistic nature toward each another is clearly shown. I really enjoyed the various creative gags that were placed throughout this cartoon, and all the lively mischief that ensues. Those who animated the cartoon surely had fun when doing it, and their talents are clearly shown here. Hats off to the writers, animators, and directors of this cartoon short.

"Quiet, Please!" is an unforgettable and classic Tom and Jerry cartoon that will always entertain.

Spike the dog is desperate for some shut-eye, but finds sleeping impossible with Tom and Jerry causing a ruckus around the house. The stressed-out bulldog warns Tom that he'll skin the cat alive if he is woken one more time; Jerry naturally takes this as his cue to try and make as much noise as possible.

'Quiet Please!' won an Oscar for best animated short in 1945, but to be honest, I cannot see why (unless, perhaps, there was not a lot of competition that year). The cartoon is admittedly funny, with the usual plethora of violent gags providing laughs mostly at Tom's expense, but it is pretty standard fare for the cartoon cat and mouse and nothing we haven't seen many times before.

This is definitely one of the most memorable Tom & Jerry shorts, featuring this funny cat and mouse duo getting up to their antics while Spike tries to have a quiet nap. There are funny gags of Jerry trying to get Tom to wake Spike up by accident. The most memorable one is Tom catching the light bulbs before they hit the ground. You can't forget the moment of Tom singing to Spike so he doesn't wake up. The comedy and animation don't disappoint as usual in this series of shorts. Quiet Pleace! Is still a fun short film that many generations have enjoyed. My final rating for this short film is 10/10.

Quiet Please! (1945)

**** (out of 4)

Oscar winning Tom and Jerry short has an angry bulldog trying to sleep but Tom keeps getting blamed for Jerry waking him up. I think this is one of the best T&J shorts as it contains non-stop action and plenty of laughs including the scene where the dog gets blown up with dynamite.

Warner has released most of the Tom and Jerry shorts onto DVD but there are storms of controversy around the releases. Many of the shorts are edited so do some homework before you buy. Foreign sets are also cut. As of right now the only way to get uncut shorts is if you were lucky enough to record them off TV years ago.

Spike the dog is attempting to sleep and if there's any commotion that wakes him up he will beat Tom the cat to a pulp. Out of this simple plot, comes one of the best Tom and Jerry shorts, as Jerry does pretty much everything in his power to get Spike to wake up so Tom can get a vicious beating. Simply great, genius in it's simplicity and utterly hilarious. And goes to show what a great addition Spike truly was to the comedic duo of Tom and Jerry. Kudos all around. This award winning cartoon can be found on disc one of the Spotlight collection DVD of "Tom & Jerry"
