The Flying Sorceress

'The Flying Sorceress (1956)' is a bit of an odd 'Tom & Jerry' short because it focuses almost entirely on Tom. After being scolded for breaking something during a chase with Jerry, the fed-up feline decides to take up a job offer he finds in the newspaper. That job ends up being a companion to a witch; most of the piece's comedy comes from the antics that the cat gets up to when he rides a flying broomstick. There are a handful of chuckle-worthy sight gags and the thing moves at a decent pace, but it lacks the 'cat and mouse' angle of its peers and is decidedly less compelling because of it. It isn't bad - I mean, it's enjoyable enough - but it isn't one of the duo's finest outings. 6/10
