Best movie of this year hands down!

Why so much hype?

A Disappointing Continuation

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

That's My Mommy features that insufferably cute duckling Quackers, who, having been accidentally hatched by Tom, believes the cat to be his mommy. Of course, Tom isn't going to waste a golden opportunity to have duck for dinner and gets out his cookery book, but every recipe is ruined by Jerry mouse, who repeatedly intervenes.As far as I am concerned, Quackers is only slightly less irritating than Nibbles the mouse, and his presence is guaranteed to get my back up. Fortunately, there is still some sadistic fun to be had in watching Tom trick the duckling into a pastry dish or feed him full of stuffing before popping him into a tray of vegetables, even if Jerry inevitably spoils things. The ending, however, is horribly twee, with Tom realising the error of his ways and adopting Quackers. Gack!

I love Tom and Jerry, and I enjoyed That's My Mommy. And yes, I like Little Quacker, he is very engaging and cute, not annoying like some people make him out to be. The cartoon is perhaps too short at only 6 minutes, but it moves very quickly and is very satisfying. The animation is stunning, and the music is a deft touch too. The sight gags are consistently funny, and are delivered thick and fast, but I was most impressed by the ending. And not in a bad way too, it was so unexpected and such a sweetly sentimental way to finish a Tom and Jerry cartoon. Tom is crafty, Jerry is a lot of fun and Little Quacker is really cute I think. Overall, a delightful cartoon, with just the right touch of the funny and the sweet. 9/10 Bethany Cox

"Little Quackers," voiced by Clarence Nash, kills me. Yeah, I really laugh at the little yellow duck and love the material the writers use when he's in these Tom and Jerry cartoons. A lot of the humor, as in this one, is a dark humor and a little more subtle than the usual Tom-Jerry chase scenes. Sometimes I get tired of all the chases so the little duck provides a different kind of humor, although we usually see a similar storyline of Jerry trying to save Quackers from being eaten by Tom.When I say dark humor, I mean early scenes like the one here in which the baby duck hatches by mistake under Tom, thinks the cat is its mother and in seconds, is tied to a spit and being roasted by Tom.Throughout this cartoon, Quackers thinks "mommy" is being nice to him and the whole Tom is preparing him for dinner in various ways! In a way, it's a little sadistic but it's funny and you know Quackers will survive somehow.In fact, the ending is a shocker and just the opposite of the black humor - a real sentimental finish.Highly recommended: lots of laughs and a sweet finish.

This is another Tom & Jerry cartoon that features the little yellow duckling. He hatches from an egg after ending up underneath the sleeping Tom, and thinks that Tom is his mother. Tom tries to eat the duckling, while Jerry tries to explain who its real mother is. This was the first cartoon William Hanna and Joseph Barbera produced as well as directed after their previous producer, Fred Quimby, retired from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Although the two's skill is still evident, somehow the 'feel' is a bit lacking in comparison to previous episodes. The items painted onto cels look a bit 'furred' around the edges, and are not as cleanly painted as before. The backgrounds are also not too great, and the story just does not have quite the same level of humour that had been attained previously.
