@thecriticalthinkeroutsidet4947 oh yes! Rube Goldberg was a pretty large cultural long running event. Many, many artists and builders to this day design and in some cases build these contraptions for fun, to this day.
Perhaps too clever - a sign that the old format of heavy slapstick was struggling and the studios needed to come up with better and more novel ideas. Or perhaps the fact that cinema theatres were struggling against the growing fad of TV.
@@xj900uk Maybe but it was produced in 1953 and was TV in the US as big as you think back then, growing admittedly. What I do like though is the fifty seconds from when Jerry pulls the cheese on the string to when Tom gets it. The funny thing is that you just know the cat is going to get it. The elaborateness of the "improved" mouse trap and the mechanics is brilliantly done, and Toms Final words "I suppose you think that's funny" is a huge laugh.
This was made a decade before my birth and the memory of watching it with my late dad when I was a toddler is still strong. Thanks to YT (& Warner Bros’) I can bring it all back. Priceless.
The iconic theme song, the blueprint and Jerry meeting a chalk drawing of himself are one heck of the wonders of this episode (and I still remember this from the mid '10s)
This & the Looney Tunes short with the daydreaming kid where he dreams up whole movies with characters made up of chalk writing are really creative, both are really great.
Oh this one is a lot of fun. The battle between Jerry, his blueprints counterpart and the doodle of Tom is a lot of fun. So is the ridiculous Rube Goldberg mousetrap Tom created. Also, I love that Tom gives Jerry a full sized cigarette to smoke rather than a mouse sized one.
Tom and Jerry are some seroiusly underrated cartoons. They were just a notch beneath the Looney Tunes cartoons but they were very good in their own right.
The greatest Cartoon show ever created William Hanna and Jospeh Barbera were geniuses and are the still to this day the undisputed goats of slapstick comedy.
Aside from the Ruth Goldberg machine, what I really loved was the ink cat and mouse fight. So vreative and well executed! Like the stickman in Windows fights, but like 50 years before that!
Now I realise that it's a cartoon and everything is done for comedic effect, but let's be honest here: By the time that trap has finished activating, the mouse it's going to trap will have already escaped and moved on to pastures new.
I do like in Shuttered Bugged Cat (which reused the footage from this short) that we see a flatten Tom destroying the blueprints afterwards. This is the better short overall but I do like the ending of that short just as well.
To reference a mouse character from another studio: The Mouse Trap would never work because even Slowpoke Rodriguez would have made his way back into the mouse hole. 😅❤
I am so thankful to my parents for showing me and my brother the original Tom and Jerry cartoons from the 1940s to 1960s at a young age instead of the 2000s Tom and Jerry
You know. Those kinds of cartoons are like one of a kind. No ai. No drama or controversial stuff in old days. Sure it did have some like in some episodes but this series is so much more entertaining than farm content these days
*This one used to aired a lot in the Early Mornings on Cartoon Network, along with Cat Concerto.* ❤There’s just something so Warm and cozy about watching Tom & Jerry super early.
I think it’s “Mouse for Sale” when Tom tried to make big money for selling white Jerry, then thought it might attract ladies for how much money he’ll save.
Jang Keng and Tekirai: Good night Tom. I knew you can do it. Tom: 1:43 *Later* Tom: 6:14 Jang Keng and Tekirai: WHAT HAPPENED? Did you just fail your own mouse trap again? 🙀😾 Tom: 6:22
Exactly what makes Tom think that, even if his plan had right, any mouse - let alone Jerry - would stand still long enough for the safe to fall on them?
As much as I love Tom & Jerry, it does seem odd to me that MGM cartoons are being claimed by Warner Bros. as "Warner Classics". I realize WB holds the rights to T&J and other former MGM properties, but it still seems strange to me.
As a kid i love this episode. The absurd elaborate way of setting up a mouse trap was brilliant.
This elaborate contraption was a tribute to Rube Goldberg.
@noam65 Both Tom and Jerry, and Looney Tunes, have paid tribute. :)
@thecriticalthinkeroutsidet4947 oh yes! Rube Goldberg was a pretty large cultural long running event. Many, many artists and builders to this day design and in some cases build these contraptions for fun, to this day.
All undone by two feet of rooe. 😂
The way Tom was whining at the end with his square body was so hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, he goes "Womp womp womp womp, womp womp womp"
Like the adults in peanuts
He was doing an impression of Charlie Brown's dad...
Anyone know what he was supposed to be saying? You can *sorta* read his lips, but I can only make out, "Wah wah wah wa-wa better mouse trap."
I remember being a kid watching these, I love Tom and Jerry
Me too!
Me too, especially when it came with food in certain episodes
Me too.
Ditto! I remember watching this all the time with my grandfather!
How old are you?
One of the cleverest they ever did. So elaborate.

This is still among my top 10 favorite _Tom and Jerry_ shorts.
Almost 50 years old now - and I still _love_ these two !
69 years old.
Part of me is tempted to think, with drawings coming alive, that Tom dreamt the entire episode. And he couldn't even catch Jerry in his dreams!
Plot armor 💪🏽
This is one of my favorite Tom and Jerry episodes
A very creative episode, Hanna and Barbera showing what was still possible to do with the good old cat and mouse formula in the mid-50s.
This was made a decade before my birth and the memory of watching it with my late dad when I was a toddler is still strong. Thanks to YT (& Warner Bros’) I can bring it all back. Priceless.
Tom & Jerry animation and direction was ahead of its time.
Same for classic cartoons in general.
The iconic theme song, the blueprint and Jerry meeting a chalk drawing of himself are one heck of the wonders of this episode (and I still remember this from the mid '10s)
Looks like chalk but it’s a white ink.
@davidw.2791 Thank you for correcting me, I was unequivocally mistaken
@
To be fair I have this cartoon burned into my brain and I still don’t really BELIEVE there is white ink out there. 🙃❤️
@@davidw.2791 Agreed
This episode was always one of my favorites, i wish people talked about it more often
06:19 be there or be square
I really like how Tom saying his trap failed
So that's what the Tom & Jerry Tales intro is based on
You're absolutely right. I absolutely watched it
Oh I miss Tom and Jerry tales 😢. The only series that can compare with the original.
This was one of my favorites as a kid, Jerry meets sketch Jerry!! 😆
That one bit where Drawing Tom runs with tiny feet kills me
One of the few times where Tom played a cameo role.
Another one was "Mouse in Manhattan".
@@glowworm2 "The Cat and the Mermouse" was also one where Jerry was a cameo.
@@thecriticalthinkeroutsidet4947 Jerry is kind of a cameo in "Heavenly Puss". The short is mainly Tom's show.
that ending is still golden
This & the Looney Tunes short with the daydreaming kid where he dreams up whole movies with characters made up of chalk writing are really creative, both are really great.
One of my childhood DVD classics from the cat and mouse duo! 🌟
I was watching in VHS
Yeah! This is one of my all time favourites!
5:49. Iconic drumroll.
Same here 😊
Tom: Surprise 😮
Oh this one is a lot of fun. The battle between Jerry, his blueprints counterpart and the doodle of Tom is a lot of fun. So is the ridiculous Rube Goldberg mousetrap Tom created. Also, I love that Tom gives Jerry a full sized cigarette to smoke rather than a mouse sized one.
Tom and Jerry are some seroiusly underrated cartoons. They were just a notch beneath the Looney Tunes cartoons but they were very good in their own right.
6:23 when Tom looks like he’s talking he’s probably saying:
Why can’t I ever get rid that annoying obnoxious mouse I hate him and my life.
I remember being sick from school around 2007-2008 and watching this, how time flies
5:26 Tom's face. 😂
The greatest cartoons ever made.
Great to see these old techniques like blueprints and slide ruler. Lovely story!
This short is almost 70 years old!!! Wow.
Ah this one was a neat, especially with the classic blueprint version of Tom and Jerry.
Thanks awfully for sharing this excellent classic, and for not using the very annoying "TH-cam for kids", so we can make comments ❤
1955?The Hanna Barbera Era was really ahead of its time,current cartoons can't compare
So that's where the doodles from T&J tales intro came from
The greatest Cartoon show ever created William Hanna and Jospeh Barbera were geniuses and are the still to this day the undisputed goats of slapstick comedy.
A brilliant and well done episode, it's Art. I love Tom & Jerry ❤️❤️
This episode is a classic
Enjoyed watching this as a kid.
Aside from the Ruth Goldberg machine, what I really loved was the ink cat and mouse fight. So vreative and well executed! Like the stickman in Windows fights, but like 50 years before that!
Keep posting old episodes ✨✨✨
My childhood has came back ✨✨❤️❤️
Now I realise that it's a cartoon and everything is done for comedic effect, but let's be honest here: By the time that trap has finished activating, the mouse it's going to trap will have already escaped and moved on to pastures new.
Another one of my favourite Tom & Jerry episodes I'd never forget ☺️❤️
Now I'm just waiting for my No. 1 favourite episode😄
6:22 Yeah I remember This Tom Where I thought he speak trumpet 😂
I wonder if Charles Schulz saw this and advised the cartoon ppl to make Peanuts-land adults speak that way!
I do like in Shuttered Bugged Cat (which reused the footage from this short) that we see a flatten Tom destroying the blueprints afterwards. This is the better short overall but I do like the ending of that short just as well.
I been looking for this ep 😭
Oh I love this cartoon. Thank you WB for uploading this.
I actually found this episode interesting
Wah❤ my childhood!! I am 27 now.
6:22 I was wondering what tom was saying after got cubed by the safe 🤨🤔
Seeing that Tom And Jerry does not have an actual taboo against Spoken English, it most likely is swearing. 😂
Bro turned into a Charlie Brown adult 💀
I can't imagine Rube Goldberg having been too pleased with this.
Always thought the little mouse drawing was cute.
Love the thought of Tom building the world's most ineffective mousetrap
It was sabotage
I was just thinking about this episode a few days ago 😂
To reference a mouse character from another studio:
The Mouse Trap would never work because even Slowpoke Rodriguez would have made his way back into the mouse hole. 😅❤
6:18 Cube Tom Here
The most iconic meme of this short is cube tom
I love these old cartoons!! They are the best!!! I still watch them on tv... Also Woody Woodpecker so funny!!! 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤....
2:06 those squeaks sound so cute 🐭🐁
I loved tom and Jerry forever ❤❤❤
yes
Tom: Thanks 😊
Me too
2:46 How Tom became Hello Kitty lol
3:31 Oh look, product placement for PARKER. ❤
This is the real tom and jerry era 😍😘😘😘 miss those days
There was even a flash game where you play as tom and set a trap for jerry just like this episode.Ah, Good times.
My favorite cartonn since almost fifty years 😂😂😂
I am so thankful to my parents for showing me and my brother the original Tom and Jerry cartoons from the 1940s to 1960s at a young age instead of the 2000s Tom and Jerry
Even though new Tom and Jerry content was made in the 2000s, the original cartoons still aired heavily on Cartoon Network and Boomerang back then.
@ nah man my parents had Tom and Jerry on DVD
@@SpideyBTTFGojiFanBut I love Tom and jerry tales and movies until the nutcracker tale.
6:23 Tom talk like grown ups from Peanuts Charlie Brown
That’s what I’m saying
Tom & Jerry - The Eternal masterpiece cartoon!
You know. Those kinds of cartoons are like one of a kind. No ai. No drama or controversial stuff in old days. Sure it did have some like in some episodes but this series is so much more entertaining than farm content these days
This is Cube Tom. 6:20
Don’t tell TH-cam to turn off the comments PLEASE. Thank you.
*This one used to aired a lot in the Early Mornings on Cartoon Network, along with Cat Concerto.*
❤There’s just something so Warm and cozy about watching Tom & Jerry super early.
6:22 I never understood what he said
"it dosen't get better eitherway"
He said waah wahh wah wah waah
6:23 WHAT THE HELL 😱😱😱😱😱😱🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁
is this what inspired the Mouse Trap boardgame?
Yes
1:32
What’s that Episode when tom Thinking about Girls??
I think it’s “Mouse for Sale” when Tom tried to make big money for selling white Jerry, then thought it might attract ladies for how much money he’ll save.
Jang Keng and Tekirai: Good night Tom. I knew you can do it.
Tom: 1:43
*Later*
Tom: 6:14
Jang Keng and Tekirai: WHAT HAPPENED? Did you just fail your own mouse trap again? 🙀😾
Tom: 6:22
Merry Christmas!
1:32-1:42
Dream big Tom!
👍👍👍👍
Thank You For Remastered The Short Film
I Love Tom and Jerry ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🐱🐁🧀
me too
😃😃😃
Jerry: Oops 🙊
that brought back old memories 😢❤
Hilarious classic its my favorite 😊
A pot of coffee and a slide rule - what more could an engineer want?
Master piece ❤❤
It's a brainy action on a crazy contraption. It's Mouse Trap.
Outside of the incredible art you have to appreciate the incredible music composition and performance truly astounding
The "Best" Laid Plans... 🤣🤣
Exactly what makes Tom think that, even if his plan had right, any mouse - let alone Jerry - would stand still long enough for the safe to fall on them?
5:14 - This was reused in Tom and Jerry Chuck Jones short, "Shutter-Bugged Cat" (1967).
They made like 3 episodes of this
As much as I love Tom & Jerry, it does seem odd to me that MGM cartoons are being claimed by Warner Bros. as "Warner Classics". I realize WB holds the rights to T&J and other former MGM properties, but it still seems strange to me.
Sort of Distribution wise it goes to Warner but the copyright wasn't transferred from Turner Entertainment.
Well they own it
6:14 After all of his hard work on his trap, Tom has completely miscalculated.
I love Tom ♥️.
I love Jerry ♥️.
"YOU doodle - ME Jerry!"
If this was an actual mouse trap, it would scare the mouse away before it even gets a chance to terminate it!
This... made more sense to me as a kid.
The memories hit hard, though...
Só uma coisa a dizer........UAAAAU
The original Blockhead :D
Looks great, remastered
This is what a Cartoon is suppose to be
Rube Goldberg contraption
