That was an excellent one.

Let's be realistic.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The animation here is not as good as it could have been in my opinion, there are some very nice colours but the backgrounds especially lack the finesse and detail that were there in the Tom and Jerry cartoons when Fred Quimby was in charge. However, there is much to like in Timid Tabby. The music is terrific, catchy, lushly orchestrated and adds a lot to the quality of the humour. And the humour is of very funny quality, the violence is still within the spirit of Tom and Jerry and never falls into the trap of being too cartoonish or too sadistic and the gags are simple like the story but lively and clever. The pacing never lags and the ending is fitting. Timid Tabby is also different from most Tom and Jerry cartoons, Tom's cousin, who is terrified of mice, looks practically identical to him(you can mistake them for twins easily) and speaks and Jerry is the butt of much of the violence, which I don't remember happening before. These though are different in a good way, it was nice to have a change yet the basic spirit of the earlier cartoons remain. All the characters are likable, and Bill Thompson's vocals add a lot to the character of Tom's cousin. Overall, a different but very good cartoon that could have been even stronger with better animation. 8/10 Bethany Cox

In this tom and Jerry cartoon, Tom's cousin George, who is afraid of mice, comes for a visit. Since, George and Tom look alike, Jerry thinks that Tom is now scared to death of him until Tom and George decide that it's time for a revenge. Another thing you should notice is that George sounds like Ranger Woodlore from the Humphrey cartoons. That's because he is voiced by actor Bill Thompson who also voiced Mr. Smee in Peter pan and the white Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland. Ever since seeing that Cousin George is scared to death of mice, I have often wondered if he has met Jerry's cousin Muscles or Uncle Pesos. If you are a Tom and Jerry fan like me, I would definitely recommend this cartoon, it is a classic!

It was great to hear Bill Thompson again. Thompson voiced my favorite character in the classic cartoon era: "Droopy." He had a unique voice and hilarious inflections in the characters he voiced in cartoons and in radio for many years. In this Tom and Jerry cartoon, he plays Tom's ultra-meek cousin "George," who is scared-to-death of mice. He comes to visit Tom and the latter tries to hide Jerry from him, so he won't freak out.However, even though mostly it's Jerry who scares the poor cat, Tom gets in on the act early with some meanness himself. However, that quickly changes to where Tom begins to use his timid twin cousin to advantage.....to confuse and totally spook Jerry. That last part - the final third - is very, very good with a great, satisfying ending!

This one, though no rousing barn-burner, won't put you to sleep either. It has a few good moments here and there. Tom's cousin speaks and though the voicework is uncredited and I don't know with anything even remotely approaching certainty who does it here, it does sound like the same voice that did Droopy, Bill Thompson. Don't bet on that, though-I don't know for sure, it just sounds like him and it is plausible. Decent cartoon that proves Tom has family too. Worth watching at least once. Recommended.
