In the early 1960s, some evil trolls at MGM decided to revive the Tom and Jerry series but wanted it done with practically no budget at all. So, the cartoons were farmed out to be done in Czechoslovakia by people that had hardly any notion of who the characters were. As a result, they didn't look all that much like Tom and Jerry and they acted nothing like the originals. Apparently, the staff hadn't really seen the cartoons before but that didn't stop them! This is one of several super-crappy cartoons done by this unit. Jerry is an astronaut and Tom is a hobo--two roles you NEVER would have seen them in before. The animation quality is horrid, the sound effects VERY strange and the story itself is about as funny as cancer. The MGM clods should have been ashamed of themselves for ever releasing this bilge.
