I have always been a huge Tom and Jerry fan. Texas Tom was one of my favourites from them as a child and as a young adult it still is. Texas Tom is part of Tom and Jerry's best overall era(which was right up to 1956 for me) and the beautifully coloured and detailed animation reflects that perfectly. Another high point is the music, the orchestral music is very lively, and the songs are catchy with very clever lyrics. The gags are plentiful and are very inventive in how they're executed, especially the ones with the revolver and the turntable record, while the story makes a potential clichéd concept seem fresh instead and there is never a dull moment. Tom and Jerry are still likable and excel at just doing what they do best. Their chemistry is still inspired. In conclusion, an outstanding Tom and Jerry cartoon and one of their better ones in my opinion. 10/10 Bethany Cox

This short finds Tom and Jerry on a Texas dude ranch where Tom is tormenting Jerry by lassoing him and dragging him over such thing as spurs and a cactus plant. Tom gets bored of this when an attractive female cat turns up and starts wooing her; first demonstrating his cigarette rolling skills then miming along to a record. This goes well until Jerry starts changing the speed causing Tom to mime very quickly then very slowly. The two of them soon end up fighting again but Tom comes off worse as Jerry enlists the help of the bull!This short is packed full of great gags; my personal favourite was when Tom was about to shoot Jerry with a revolver; Jerry blows down the barrel leaving the six bullets in Tom's mouth, Jerry takes the pistol off him, hits him on the back of the head and all of the bullets fire! With such a quick fire succession of gags if one doesn't amuse you another will come along in a matter of seconds! The attention Tom have the female cat was pretty fun and even though a modern cartoon would never show a character being so cool by smoking that section was particularly funny. If you are a fan of Tom and Jerry this one is definitely worth watching.

Tom the Cat is having fun with Jerry the mouse in the old West lassoing him up. Until a girl cat comes along and sets Tom's heart on fire. He waists no time in trying to woo her. Of course Jerry doesn't want Tom happy. So he, along with some help from a bull, try to put the kibosh on Tom's chance at love. The hit to miss joke ratio in this one is greatly in favor of the hits. And it's very enjoyable throughout. Of course I'm biased as i pretty much love anything by the cat & mouse duo. This hilarious classic cartoon can be found on disc two of the Spotlight collection DVD of "Tom & Jerry" My grade: A

Tom and Jerry are in Texas as cowboys. When a beautiful female cat arrives Tom falls instantly in love and tries to be really cool. Of course Jerry makes sure he has not got a single chance.This is one of the funniest cartoons from Tom and Jerry. Every joke is a good one and the songs used are quite good as well and perfect for the story. Simply great.
