Featured review
For a Tom and Jerry Short it is an Original Idea to do it in Ancient Greece but Unfortunately this Short wastes the Idea making Half of the Short be in a Museum Full of Monuments, but despite this it is not a Bad Short.
The Short is not as Cruel as Down and Outing or as Bizarre as Switchin Kitten but it falls into the Surreal Category, the Short Presents Innovative Ideas for Tom and Jerry as they both wear Greek costumes and even Tom uses a Trash Can as armor!.
The Short Visually looks Horrendous, the Backgrounds are very Limited and look very Empty, the animations look Sketchy and too Rough, some scenes look good but suddenly the animation gets worse out of nowhere, the short constantly changes from a light Animation to a rather Rough one making the Cutscenes look Choppy and very Weird, but still the Tom and Jerry Skins look pretty Decent and the Museum Guards looks Flawed but still looks passable.
The Music is Gloomy and sounds quite Weird and for some Reason it Brings back the Feel of Switchin Kitten being quite Bizarre but anyway the Music is Pretty Decent and makes the Short Feel Unlike Any Short of this era.
Voice Acting is Miserably Awful (except for the Narrator since that one does sound Decent) Tom's Screams are Horrifying and sound too Horrendous Like the Other Shorts.
In itself, this short is quite Poor, unlike others, I tolerate Deitch's works since they were part of my Childhood, the Rough Animation and the Sound Effects are Unintentionally Funny in my opinion, setting it in Ancient Greece would have worked... but if Gene Deitch hadn't done it, the Plot was wasted to no more Power by basing it entirely on a Museum and that makes the short miss its potential but it's still Entertaining and Unintentionally funny if you look at it the other way and that's why I give it a 6!
