Probably the cream of the Jones-Maltese Tom & Jerrys. ('Course, that's not saying much.)

This is another tour-de-force Tom and Jerry directed by C. Jones. There are so many funny moments in it, it is hard to pick the funniest. From the music to the animation, to the out-and-out silliness, this is a must see for Jones fans!
