BA_Harrison Down on the ranch, Tom is happily wiling away the hours tormenting Jerry when he finds himself distracted by the arrival of a sexy cowgirl cat. Tom sets about trying to impress the pretty puss, but Jerry isn't about to make things easy for his nemesis.Texas Tom's unique Western setting provides plenty of opportunity for hilarity. There's a terrific scene in which Tom serenades the cowgirl cat by miming to a record, but runs into trouble when Jerry starts messing around with the speed control on the record player; Tom accidentally catching an angry bull with his lasso also leads to some very funny moments.At the end of the cartoon, Jerry is the one that gets lucky with the girl, the cheeky mouse planting a big smacker on her lips (Jerry also snogged a cute female cat in the 1942 short Puss n' Toots—bizarre!!).
Tweekums This short finds Tom and Jerry on a Texas dude ranch where Tom is tormenting Jerry by lassoing him and dragging him over such thing as spurs and a cactus plant. Tom gets bored of this when an attractive female cat turns up and starts wooing her; first demonstrating his cigarette rolling skills then miming along to a record. This goes well until Jerry starts changing the speed causing Tom to mime very quickly then very slowly. The two of them soon end up fighting again but Tom comes off worse as Jerry enlists the help of the bull!This short is packed full of great gags; my personal favourite was when Tom was about to shoot Jerry with a revolver; Jerry blows down the barrel leaving the six bullets in Tom's mouth, Jerry takes the pistol off him, hits him on the back of the head and all of the bullets fire! With such a quick fire succession of gags if one doesn't amuse you another will come along in a matter of seconds! The attention Tom have the female cat was pretty fun and even though a modern cartoon would never show a character being so cool by smoking that section was particularly funny. If you are a fan of Tom and Jerry this one is definitely worth watching.
Shawn Watson Tom, now a cowboy (or cowcat) on a farm somewhere in Texas is involved in his usual pursuit of Jerry when a gorgeous girl cat arrives. He is immediately smitten and falls in love, hoping to impress her with a tough guy act, and serenading her with a mimed song.Not taking too kindly to being treated as a slave in his love game, Jerry messes up Tom's plans and gets him on the wrong side of the farmyard bull. It's a pretty funny cartoon, especially when Jerry tampers with the speed of the record Tom is miming to, and there's quite a bit of inventive visual humor too. I just wish that Tom would get the girl for once.
Antzy88 Dude Ranch is the place where 'Texas Tom' is set. Tom, busy fooling around with Jerry in his usual manner, suddenly notices a car drop off a very pretty cow-girl cat with whom Tom immediately falls for. Jerry, however, has other ideas...This cartoon is cool! It's dead funny, especially when Tom starts miming to a turntable record playing 'If You're Ever Down In Texas, Look Me Up', but I won't spoil that bit.Recommended!
