DOWN BEAT BEAR
One of the FINEST latter-day Tom & Jerrys (from HB, of course).....in many of these films, it's the THIRD-PARTY character that's supposed to provide the most interest, and and the creators really hit on a superb example this time with the bear. SUPERBLY animated dance sequences; frenetically paced; a treat all the way through.
