• As I have said before, I adore Tom and Jerry. But I well and truly dislike the Gene Dietch cartoons, as I consider them disgraces to the Tom and Jerry name. Why? How about the terrible animation, stomach-churning sound effects and sickening and predictable sight gags? While Switchin' Kitten is the worst offender of these unforgivable flaws, Sorry Safari is no exception. In fact, this is the Gene Dietch Tom and Jerry cartoon that is on the same truly sorry level of Switchin' Kitten. Where to start criticising Sorry Safari? The animation was absolutely awful, none of the characters are well drawn and the colours and backgrounds are murder to the eyes. The music is forgettable and marred by the sound effects which to be honest made my ears bleed. The sight gags are neither funny or original, in fact they are unfunny and downright disturbing(ie. the opening, with one of the most frightening roars you will ever hear in your life and not in a good way). And the characters? None of them have any of the likability that they had in the classic 40s and 50s cartoons. Like in Switchin' Kitten, you actually feel sorry for Tom here. Overall, truly awful and for fans of Tom and Jerry is much better avoided. 1/10 Bethany Cox
