Tom and Jerry are fighting each other on a cruise ship when Tom sees a pretty female cat and goes gaga. More than a little put out, Jerry does his best to get the cat's attention, but romance is all Tom has on his mind. When the cruise ship weighs anchor at a Caribbean island, Tom finds a love rival in the form of a steel-drum playing cat.
One good thing about Calypso Cat is that it is cartoon seven of the thirteen Gene Deitch episodes, meaning I'm more than halfway through. Hurrah.
While this one isn't quite as terrible Landing Stripling (my least favourite T&J caper so far), neither is it very good, with the jerky movement and surreal sound effects that could only have come from an Eastern European animation house. Long gone are the days when Tom and Jerry cartoons won Oscars!
