Sufferin&apos; Cats!

Fun, but unexceptional.

As Tom and Jerry&apos;s creators get fully into their stride, so the duo become more and more like the cat and mouse we all know and love. Sufferin&apos; Cats sees the cartoon&apos;s style developed even further, with the content becoming more &apos;violent&apos; and the characters more definedunfortunately, the story is the one weak element to this episode, with the whole thing being nothing more than a huge frantic chase scene (which is fun, for a while at least).

There are some quite funny visual gags, and a fine example of the old &apos;devil on the shoulder&apos; routine, as Tom deliberates whether he should cut Jerry in twoin order to share the mouse with an alley cat with whom he has been competingor plant the axe&apos;s blade in his rival&apos;s head (my 4 year old son actually found this bit disturbing). But on the whole, this short is a distinctly average offering.
