Tops with Pops

Tom is chasing Jerry again. In a panic, the mouse runs into the doghouse of little Tyke, the bulldog. Right next to the sleeping Tyke sleeps Spike, his father. Tom unthinkingly snatches the puppy out of his house. When Spike wakes up and sees this, he delivers a stern warning: Stay away from my boy, or else. Jerry realizes that sticking close to the boy is the best way to repel his feline tormentor, but Tom is not about to let the mouse evade him so easily.

★★★☆☆ Curator’s rating

A widescreen remake of an earlier Spike and Tyke short. MGM remade several proven films in CinemaScope in the mid-1950s, which is why some entries in this archive feel oddly familiar — the joke about waking the puppy is one of the studio's best, and it got two outings.
