Kitchen chaos

Warning: Spoilers
"The Midnight Snack" is an American short film from 1941, so this one has its 75th anniversary this year. The names Hanna and Barbera will probably immediately tell you that this is a Tom&Jerry cartoon and it is actually their second only in terms of chronology. You see that the looks of the characters changed a lot over the years and decades and here they are still at their most original. But nonetheless, this one is among the most known about the duo. I personally cannot say though that I consider it among the best. The action here is very slapstick-oriented and I cannot say I found a lot of it entertaining or even funny. The world's most famous cat&mouse pairing wreaks havoc in Tom's kitchen this time and while early on it all seems to go for Tom, this changes quickly as these movie goes on. At almost 9 minutes, it is slightly longer than they usually are. As a whole nowhere near my favorite T&J works. I have to give this one a thumbs-down.
