When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

This Tom and Jerry short opens with a shot of a canary in its cage; in the background we can hear the sort of mayhem that can only mean Tom and Jerry are at it again! We then see Tom is in hot pursuit of Jerry, smashing things as he goes. It soon looks as if Jerry is done for but the canary comes to his rescue. The rest of the short involves Tom chasing the canary, who is then rescued by Jerry and Tom chasing Jerry who is rescued by the canary and Tom chasing both of them. Inevitably Tom comes off much worse as he is battered by the two creatures he is trying to catch.There is no real plot to this short; just a succession of chases and comic ways for Tom to get hurt. Probably not politically correct these days but I couldn't help laughing when Jerry disguised himself as an Indian and said 'How' in a really deep voice! Another highlight was when Tom tied Jerry to the tracks of a model railway and prepared to run him over with a train only to be foiled when the little bird dropped a heavy bowling ball on the tracks... utterly ridiculous but still funny! Overall its not the best Tom and Jerry cartoon but it has plenty of good laughs; I'm sure youngsters will love it along with those who enjoyed it as a child.

I thoroughly enjoyed Kitty Foiled, never once did I find it generic and bland but that is just me. The sight gags are plentiful, and all of them work thanks to primarily the fast pacing. The best of them is when Tom ties Jerry to a railway track, and the canary saves Jerry's life by making a bowling ball fall through the track(and Tom falls through the hole of course), though everything else is on the money. As per usual, the production values and music are top notch, and while Tom is more sadistic than usual he is fun. And you really feel sorry for Jerry, but I had real admiration for the cute canary, anybody who saves Jerry's life is a friend of mine, that's what I'd say. Overall, thoroughly enjoyable and a lot of fun. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Tom is chasing Jerry when the mouse befriends a small canary. A lot of the gags work and hearing Tom's laugh is infectious. And the canary is one of the third characters that I like, unlike the buzzard for Flirty Birdy or the fish from Cat Fishin'. All in all this is a pretty funny violent Tom and Jerry short. This hilarious cartoon can be found on disc one of the Spotlight collection DVD of "Tom & Jerry" My Grade: A DVD Extras: Commentary by historian Jerry Beck on how this is his favorite Tom and Jerry cartoon, talks about Jerry's sidekicks, and the animators (kinda sparse, with some silent parts)

Tom tries to catch both Jerry and a canary. Jerry and the bird trick Tom by dressing as an Indian and making him think he got shot. Tom catches Jerry and ties him to toy train tracks, but the canary sends the feline down to the ground with a bowling ball.
