I love Tom and Jerry but with exception of three the ones that Gene Dietch made are abominations. Buddies...Thicker Than Water is not as bad as Switchin' Kitten, Sorry Safari and Dicky Moe, but it is down there with Mouse in Space and High Steaks as very painful to watch. The only redeeming quality is that it is not as creepy as the ones I listed as bad, but in all honesty is that saying much? Not really. The animation is still static and flat, the story is non-existent, the synthesised music sets a really uncomfortable atmosphere that you don't find in the Hanna Barbera or Chuck Jones cartoons, the violence and gags are sickening and the sound effects are bizarre at best. Also this is pretty much the only cartoon that I didn't care for either Tom or Jerry. All in all, painful. 2/10 Bethany Cox
