Salt Water Tabby

Tom and Jerry are on a beach, and Tom tries to get friendly (in a very surprising way!) with a female cat that is also there. The rest is the usual chases and stuff.

This does not have much of a plot, admittedly, but the gags come thick and fast. And what gags they are! You barely get a chance to breathe before the next one happens most of the time!

Take a look at it now!

This is a fairly decent Tom and Jerry cartoon. the setting is good and is creative with the female, crab, bathing suits, gags etc. Tom eating a clam and consuming sand make for a good laugh, as well as tom's attempts at impressing the girl. The ending with the beach toy and tom's flying trip was a great way to exit the cartoon. The only negative I have however is that I feel the first chase scene, where the crab attacks tom and then he gets himself stuck in a brolly, is completely filler and unnecessary. when jerry was seen tossing out food it should've cut straight to tom slamming the bottle cap over his head. Though with the first chase we did see the crab in action and poor tom all closed up inside the parasol. Fairly decent cartoon, not too bad and not too great either. 6/10

This "Tom and Jerry" short from 47 called "Salt Water Tabby" is fun with chase and fun slapstick action as it's set at the beach. However some supporting characters are found first a female cat named Toots and plus a sharp and pinch like little crab plays in and out of the day during the cat and mouse chases. So really it's not your typical day at the beach as it's full of typical parody fun and pain mostly for Tom cat. Seeing things like crab rock sandwiches, and coffee and sand tea to drink wow just gross! Still really this ranks as one of the duo's most memorable shorts!

Tom is spending a day at the beach, and is out to impress the sexy white cat who is sunbathing nearby. Mischievous Jerry, however, is determined to scupper Tom's plans.

I love it when Tom and Jerry get away from their usual domestic setting to cause havoc somewhere new, and the seaside proves to be the ideal locale for plenty of inventive mayhem and violent hi-jinx: the cat and mouse get in trouble with a cantankerous crab, who is keen to use his pincers on the duo whenever possible; Jerry gets Tom to swallow sand, break his teeth on a shell sandwich, and leap head first onto a wooden post (which the cat is tricked into thinking is a drowning woman); Jerry is launched from a soda bottle into the sea; and Tom swallows an inflatable horse.

Tom is spending the day at the seaside with his girlfriend and is trying hard to impress her, as usual. But Jerry has stowed away inside the picnic basket and does everything he can to torment him while scoffing the food for himself. You might find this cartoon very, very similar to the more popular Muscle Beach Tom from the 1950s. But this one came first.

There are some very funny painful tricks played on Tom, but they do get a little tiresome after a while. But most of them work. Highlights include Tom drinking some very sandy tea and chewing his own broken teeth. How this is physically possible I don't know. But it's funny.
