It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

If, like me, you've been working through Tom and Jerry's filmography in chronological order, Smitten Kitten will most likely prove a tedious watch (despite the rather fun opening that sees Jerry wrestling with his conscience in the form of a devilish green mouse): this is because the cartoon features a T&J plot device that has already been done to death—Tom falling for a sexy female cat—and uses the dreaded clip show format, with the majority of the action consisting of bits cobbled together from earlier episodes.While the quality of the clips chosen is reasonable enough, the familiar theme and lazy format qualify this as one of the weakest T&J efforts so far.

Jerry makes paper dolls out of Tom's cat, so when Tom runs after him and is about to do the same to him with a pair scissors, he spots a pretty cat next door and is stopped dead in his track. Jerry frowns when he sees Tom go over to the girl and suddenly a green little devil pops out and tells Jerry: "Every time he (Tom) sees a dame, he falls in love. Every time he falls in love it means trouble for you. Remember the time......"And here we go: nothing but flashbacks, meaning clips from past Tom and Jerry cartoons, all of which Tom fell for some good-looking feline.In other words, this is like a rerun. No original material except for that short beginning. As another reviewer says, this is a disgrace and just represents total laziness on the part of the writers. Apparently they saw this as an easy way out, not having to come up with some new ideas. For anyone who hasn't seen a lot of Tom and Jerry cartoons this one is great, because there are a lot of very funny gags in it, but for those (of us) who are familiar with many of the old T&J 'toons, this is a waste.

As Tom the cat makes time with his girl a green devil reminds Jerry about Tom's past history with girl cats in flashback form. This animated short can be found on disc 2 of Warner Brother's 2-DVD Spotlight Collection set which in my eyes is somewhat of a disappointment, especially since 3 of the 4 shorts that it takes clips from are actually on the same set. Why didn't the powers that be just include "the Mouse comes to Dinner" in lieu of this one?? It would have made much more sense. Plus I just detest clip shows. It's just plain reeks of laziness on the animators and writer's part.My Grade: D

Tom is in love again, and the little mouse-devil is encouraging Jerry to break it up by reminding him of previous times when Tom was smitten. Another clip show but the clips are good and so are the links.
