Royal Cat Nap

The Tom and Jerry Mousketeers cartoons are very entertaining very like the rest of the series. Royal Cat Nap is the final one, and while possibly my least favourite of the Mousketeers series it still is a lot of fun and certainly far better than the show's 60s output(anything is better than the Gene Deitch cartoons though). The story, apart from the nice twist at the end, is on the predictable side, and some of the early gags I agree look as though they were rehashed from the previous cartoons. However, the animation is colourful and very pleasing to look at. The late 50s did not see Tom and Jerry at their best, their last really outstanding cartoon was for me Down Beat Bear, but of this particular period Royal Cat Nap is one of their better-looking. The music is very catchy and energetic, while the newer gags are lively and amusing. Tom and Jerry are their likable selves and Nibbles is adorable, also proving himself fairly resourceful in the twist.

Overall, an entertaining end to the Tom and Jerry Mousketeers series. 8/10 Bethany Cox
