At first glance, it looks as though Triplet Trouble might well be one of those irritating T&J cartoons to feature cloyingly cute supporting characters, the action beginning with Mammy Two Shoes agreeing to look after three little kittens. However, this trio of tiny felines turn out to be far from adorable; in fact, they're so troublesome that Tom and Jerry have to team together to try and get rid of them.
Rather than the saccharine sweet episode I had anticipated, Triplet Trouble proved to be quite unexpected delight, with lots of great gags, the three young cats providing plenty of hilarious mayhem once Mammy turns her back. The most painful moment comes when Tom swallows an umbrella and it pops open, but my favourite scenes have to be where Tom uses a hostess trolley as an airplane, flying around the house dropping pies and a melon onto the little kitties.
The chaos ends with the naughty kittens landing on a rotary clothes dryer, Jerry giving them a much deserved hiding with a carpet beater.
7.5 out of 10, rounded up to 8 for IMDb.
