I've always liked Oscar Nominated Shorts, Tom and Jerry too of course! There have been many cases of excellent shorts losing, such as 1954's Touche Pussy Cat, which lost to a miserable and boring Columbia Pictures short. Which is even so bad that I don't even remember the Name, Tweety Pie from Friz Freleng He beat Dr Jekyll and Mr Mouse, honestly Tweety Pie is very good and it's excellent if you want to get a laugh, but honestly William Hanna and Joseph Barbera should have won the Oscar on this occasion.
The Short is an Adaptation of the Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde Story, throughout history there have been many adaptations, both real and in Animation, Tom and Jerry mixed the Story but in their own way!, after not wanting to share their portion of milk with Jerry, Tom decides to fill a Dish with highly deadly Chemicals, After confirming how toxic the milk was by seeing how a fly literally died from tasting a drop, Tom places it in a not at all suspicious way in front of the Crack where Jerry lives, Jerry consumes the Milk... and things went wrong for Tom!.
Of course, Jerry becomes muscular and destroys everything in his path and then returns to his Normal state and has to hurry so that Tom doesn't take his Revenge, Jerry tries to replicate the Potion that Tom made, but he himself arrives faster and... it gets smaller.
Possibly one of the most hilarious endings I've seen, I love the way of making humor here, A couple of blows plus the typical fight scenes between the cat and the mouse are fun as usual.
I don't know if others notice something in this short, I saw it recently and the Animation is Too Beautiful, It is so Flawless that it even fades all the Aberrations made in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s, I loved the Intelligent way of using the Animation , Colors, Backgrounds and Characters are at their best, they look completely glorious and are a great pleasure to look at.
Scott Bradley is not far behind!, As you may already know, I love Bradley, his Music both in the Tom and Jerry Shorts and in the Others of MGM is Completely brilliant, He even reaches the Height of Carl Stalling and Milt Franklin, his Music is still Cheerful and Fun, but as the Minutes go by it gets better and better, Bradley's Work Here is Really Impressive.
In my opinion, Dr Jekyll and Mr Mouse is a worthy adaptation of the Tale already mentioned above. It was also worthy of being nominated for an Oscar, although it lost, it still has the prestige of having been nominated! The brilliance of both the Music and the Animation is Amazing plus how extremely hilarious the short is, it has a moderate Rhythm at the Beginning but as Time passes it becomes more Fun and Great!, Tweety Pie as I already said, was a Worthy Oscar winner but I think it is a little lower than this.
In itself, Dr Jekyll and Mr Mouse is a complete animated odyssey that shows us the Funniest Side of the Duo, as an Adaptation it is a Beauty and although not very loyal to the Story, it obeys the most important things of it, The Fun is Infinite as not hopefully, his scenes with the brilliant music of Scott Bradley are even better, and in truth, this is by far one of my favorite Tom and Jerry shorts!.
For everything I said above, this "Loyal and Beautiful Adaptation" gets a deserved 10.
