The Tom and Jerry Cartoons made in Czechoslovakia in the early 60s were Mixed, they did not seem as Bad to me as other individuals but they were quite poor in Quality, Dicky Moe is a Complete improvement over Calypso Cat but still quite mediocre .
The Story is Quite Weird, After losing his crew due to his Huge obsession with Dicky Moe, a Captain decides to kidnap Tom and forces him to become his slave, Jerry lives on the ship but Tom is not going to want the Mouse to Ruin him your stay on the ship!.
Dicky Moe Unlike the Other Aberrant Short Films Produced in the Iron Curtain, it is based on a Book, in this case Moby Dick, the Story, although it was very poorly implemented, it was not bad for me, some parts I liked and although the jokes They are kind of Flat and Boring, I manage to entertain myself as Tal and in general it is not as bad as other cartoons of this era.
The Cartoon still retains the Infernally Surreal Aura of Switchin Kitten with some Aberrant Sound Effects and Weird Music which while not generic and horrible like in High Steaks and Calypso Cat, is not the best we can tell, there are also some details in the backgrounds but in itself, the Caricature does not stand out much.
The Animation is still quite poor in quality, the Backgrounds although they were much better and a little attention to detail is noticeable, they look like a Wood Engraving due to the Excessive use of Brown Color in addition to the fact that the colors are too Flat in addition to being dark, The Character Designs are still strange, the Captain looks nauseous, he is Pale and has a wooden leg that emits a bizarre but annoying sound, Dicky Moe although he only appears in the Last Seconds stands out a bit, but in reality who has the Tom is the protagonist since Jerry is not very relevant in most of the time, but as I said, the Animation is quite poor in quality and the Movements look Weird and quite jerky, although due to their mistakes I found it somewhat hilarious.
The Music although it is still Surreal and out of place, I managed to convince myself since it is a Better Effort than in other shorts, Stepan Konicek offered quite decent music for the short, Especially the Parts with Guitar and Violins, the Music in the Part where Dicky Moe appears is something Exciting and adds points to the cartoon.
The Sound Effects as well as the Voice Acting are still Terrible, the Captain usually repeats the Word "Dicky Moe" a lot, in addition to the fact that in a scene the Audio of him Saying "Dicky Moe" is poorly placed in addition to the fact that the sound sounds distorted.
Much of the Jokes of the Cartoon were based on the unnecessary mistreatment of Tom, many Hits and Screams in addition to 2 or 3 Jokes that happened there.
This Cartoon was not as Bad as others of this era, although obviously it is not the best, I liked the Music and although the animation was bad, the Backgrounds Convinced me and I liked the Surreal Setting of the Short, the End, although somewhat cruel, I found it hilarious with Tom tied to the Whale and the Captain yelling at Tom while Jerry read his Book, some jokes manage to be hilarious in addition to the fact that the short due to its stable rhythm manages to entertain.
In itself, Dicky Moe is an Acceptable short that manages to entertain despite its Errors, The Animation can be an Inconvenience but due to the aforementioned it results in an Involuntary Comedy, the Violence and mistreatment of Tom were somewhat serious, but they do not reach to greatly affect the Caricature.
For everything I said above, Dicky Moe gets a 6.
