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!
I adore Tom and Jerry, and I enjoyed this cartoon. The only quibble I have is that the pacing is a little too fast, but it is still hugely enjoyable. The animation is absolutely, very colourful and bright, and the music is rousing. The sight gags are plentiful and all of them work, while the story while perhaps routine at first glance is effective and has a good structure. Tom and Jerry still have their likability, I am probably biased as I love this duo too much and hate criticising them.
Overall, just a rock solid Tom and Jerry cartoon, with a lot going for it. It mayn't be their best, but boy isn't it entertaining, the ending especially brought a smile to my face. 9/10 Bethany Cox

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
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!

Tom wants to enjoy a day at the beach with toodles, but jerry causes mayhem and for a while a green crab gets involved as well. Jerry bites through the cat's hand and locks him in a beach umbrella and then the crab goes into his suit and makes a flap in the suit, which consequently left tom's bum showing. Tom bites into a rock, drinks sand, gets trapped inside umbrellas, swallows an inflatable horse. Jerry hides inside a banana and ends tom's relationship with toodles when tom spits in her face, after being served salt water from the sea by the mouse. Jerry burys tom and when the cat digs his head out, he is smacked in the face by jerry with a small spade.
