Quiet Please!

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"

My Grade: A

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! like a vast majority of Tom and Jerry cartoons, is very energetic and a lot of fun. Perhaps not the very best of their cartoons, but it is great fun besides and works well on repeated viewings.

The animation, while a little more archaic than the animation in other Tom and Jerry cartoons, is still nice and colourful. Besides, I like that old style of animation. The music is quirky and memorable, and the gags come by thick and fast and work very well indeed. Spike's threats to Tom about making any noise and Tom's lullaby are other things to like, and Jerry's drum solo on Spike out cold was a nice touch. When Tom tried to get the dynamite out from under Spike, I was like "Uh oh, this is gonna get messy".

Overall, it is silly but in a hysterical way. It is also a very energetic and fun Tom and Jerry cartoon that I do recommend. 10/10 Bethany Cox

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 is stressed out and in need of a good sleep. Which is kind of hard to do when Tom is chasing Jerry, blasting at him with a shotgun and trampling over poor Spike. Threatened with silence or death, Tom backs off, but has to deal with Jerry running around deliberately making noise.

This short won an Academy Award back in 1945, but I wouldn't really say that's THAT funny. For a T&J cartoon it's pretty much in the middle. Yes, there are laughs but not Oscar material laughs and it's not too inventive. There is actually some dialogue too, further proving the awful 1992 movie wrong, but no one is credited for providing the voices.
