Here’s Boxoffice’s review The Framed Cat (1950)
Good. Another excellent Technicolor cartoon in the popular Tom and Jerry series. Jerry, the tiny mouse, tries to frame Tom, the cat, by planting a bone stolen from Spike, the bulldog, on him. This leads to the usual complications in Tom’s life as the ferocious dog pursues him. In the end, the cat has to bow to the superior chicanery of the tiny creature.
One sight gag I like is when Spike is licking the bone as Jerry takes it. He realises something is wrong. Then the dog’s tongue turns into a human hand, feeling around for the bone.
The usual crew animates this: Irv Spence, Ray Patterson, Ken Muse and Ed Barge.
The cartoon was reissued in 1965.
