Trivia
Once again, beautiful attention to background detail here, one of the hallmarks of animation's golden age. The exposed brick under the building's plaster, Jerry's detailed mouse hole door with its small light, the Canary's furnished birdhouse, even the shadows cast by the open windows on the structure behind, all are drawn with careful precision.

Goofs
When Tom is given a 2000 lb. weight, causing him to fall down from the birdhouse, why can the canary easily pick it up and give it to him beforehand?

not as good as "Kitty Foiled"

Jerry the mouse helps his old friend the canary (from the great "Kitty Foiled") that Tom the cat is trying to capture for dinner. Tom tries in vain to get the bird, even going so far as to make a pair of wings for himself to soar at the birds level. A few funny gags highlight this animated short, but it's just not as good as the previously mentioned "Kitty Foiled". I can't seem to put my finger on just why though. But this film is still funny and very much worth your time. This hilarious classic cartoon can be found on disc two of the Spotlight collection DVD of "Tom & Jerry"

My Grade: B
