Good concept, poorly executed.

disgusting, overrated, pointless

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

In this tom and Jerry cartoon, Tom's cousin George, who is afraid of mice, comes for a visit. Since, George and Tom look alike, Jerry thinks that Tom is now scared to death of him until Tom and George decide that it's time for a revenge. Another thing you should notice is that George sounds like Ranger Woodlore from the Humphrey cartoons. That's because he is voiced by actor Bill Thompson who also voiced Mr. Smee in Peter pan and the white Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland. Ever since seeing that Cousin George is scared to death of mice, I have often wondered if he has met Jerry's cousin Muscles or Uncle Pesos. If you are a Tom and Jerry fan like me, I would definitely recommend this cartoon, it is a classic!

It was great to hear Bill Thompson again. Thompson voiced my favorite character in the classic cartoon era: "Droopy." He had a unique voice and hilarious inflections in the characters he voiced in cartoons and in radio for many years. In this Tom and Jerry cartoon, he plays Tom's ultra-meek cousin "George," who is scared-to-death of mice. He comes to visit Tom and the latter tries to hide Jerry from him, so he won't freak out.However, even though mostly it's Jerry who scares the poor cat, Tom gets in on the act early with some meanness himself. However, that quickly changes to where Tom begins to use his timid twin cousin to advantage.....to confuse and totally spook Jerry. That last part - the final third - is very, very good with a great, satisfying ending!

This one, though no rousing barn-burner, won't put you to sleep either. It has a few good moments here and there. Tom's cousin speaks and though the voicework is uncredited and I don't know with anything even remotely approaching certainty who does it here, it does sound like the same voice that did Droopy, Bill Thompson. Don't bet on that, though-I don't know for sure, it just sounds like him and it is plausible. Decent cartoon that proves Tom has family too. Worth watching at least once. Recommended.

This isn't one of the best Tom and Jerry cartoons, but the concept is nice and they carry it out pretty well. The one downside is that the animation isn't nearly as good here as it was when Quimby was in charge. Much better than those wretched things with the babysitter and the baby though; with the exception of Deitch those are the low point of the series.
