A purely engaging, funny and entertaining cartoon
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.

"You're a dope, you're a lug, and I hope you don't wake up."
"If I hear one more sound, I'm going to skin you alive!"
That's all Jerry needs to hear after eavesdropping on Butch's threat to Tom. Poor Butch had been trying to take a nap and been constantly interrupted by Tom making a racket chasing Jerry around the house.
The lengths Tom goes to keep things quiet, and the things Jerry does to produce noise so that the big bulldog will wake up and beat the tar out of the cat are all very funny. There are some excellent sight gags connected with the above, many defying the law of physics!
This cartoon also featured the first time I've ever heard Tom sing a lullaby to Spike, and that was funny, too. "Go to sleep, go to sleep, close your big, bloodshot eyes," is just one of the verses he sings. "You're a dope, you're a lug, and I hope you don't wake up."
My favorite "bit" was Tom's drum solo on the out-cold dog.
This cartoon, by the way, won an Oscar. I have no arguments with that.

excellent Tom and Jerry short
This Tom and Jerry cartoon features Spike the dog trying to keep everything quiet so his little boy can nap. But, as usual, Tom and Jerry make a huge racket trying to kill each other. So, Spike threatens to beat Tom up if the noise continues (how Jerry didn't get the blame, too, is beyond me). Despite this imminent threat of severe bodily harm, Tom wakes the pup again and again and even goes so far as tossing the puppy about and getting him covered in mud. Tom seems to definitely have a death wish. Plus, Jerry takes full advantage of this and again and again does what he can to wake the pup--knowing Tom will get the blame.
This cartoon gets high marks for being a lot of fun. Also, like all Tom and Jerry cartoons of he 40s, it has absolutely top-notch animation. While this cartoon isn't quite as original as some Warner Brothers cartoons, the animation is clearly superior. A wonderful toon.

Don't wake up the dog
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.
Energetic and fun Tom and Jerry cartoon
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
