*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
This is one of the few movies that literally can't be spoiled with spoilers by giving too much plot away, because basically there isn't one. It's all a mad chase in and out of a building in a city (some bits are even repeated later on). This emptiness would have looked pathetic in one of Chuck Jones' own Roadrunner cartoons; at least those had a point, namely Wile E Coyote always being in the middle of nowhere, starving and wanting to eat the Roadrunner (if he could catch him). 'Tom-Ic Energy' is basically just cat chasing mouse, really with only a bulldog (who's nowhere near on a par with the magical Butch/Spike of the earlier Hanna & Barbera T&J period) and an annoying red cat who chats up a dress-clad Tom with a daft Pépé le Pew voice to add any sort of variation.
Even though I knew that the 34 Tom & Jerry cartoons made by Chuck Jones were never going to have the charm of the Hanna & Barbera period, and that they were undoubtedly going to be more interesting than Gene Deitch's 13 T&J entries, I expected better than this from Jones. This is without a doubt one of the weakest of his entries into the T&J series, and it isn't really that funny or interesting.
