Pretty standard Tom and Jerry cartoon - Tom chases Jerry and Jerry retaliates. Nice twist at the end. The reason I like this cartoon though is because of the music. It starts off with the usual Tom and Jerry MGM screen and music, but suddenly the music goes all dark (for the musicians, a pedal note is held in the high violins, while 3 horns play triads in completely different keys; the result is the most tense piece of Tom and Jerry music ever written by Scott Bradley, a true unsung hero.) This music returns whenever Tom is seen concocting the potion, and also at the end, after the classic ending music, the horn motif returns rounding off the score with a reminder that Tom and Jerry can be a dark cartoon too. 10/10 for the music, also very good for the overall cartoon.
