Solid Serenade (1946)

A bit of a different T&J clip, but still entertaining

[6/10 · 27 May 2017]

"Solid Serenade" is a little cartoon movie from 1946, so this one is already over 70 years old. It is by Hanna Barbera and as such of course another Tom & Jerry cartoon and it runs the usual slightly over 7 minutes for these. With the "unusual" in my title I mean that this one includes a bigger deal of music than they usually do as Tom is serenading his (potential girlfriend) for almost the entirety of the first half of the film. But afterward the usual chase scenes follow. Spike behind Tom. Tom behind Jerry. I think the music here is good and so are comedy as well as animation. You can see this is from the Golden Age of Animation. And even if this is one of the more known T&J films that did not manage to score an Oscar nomination, it is still a fairly good watch, almost a must see for cartoon lovers. Go check it out.
