Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Fit to Be Tied" is an American cartoon starring Tom and Jerry and it runs for slightly under 7 minutes just like they always do. Looking at the film's rating and number of votes here on IMDb, it is without a doubt among the most famous films starring the duo, even if it did not manage to score with the Oscars like some other of these short films. Jerry helps out Spike (who is apparently quite a sissy) in a critical situation and as a consequence Spike keeps helping the little mouse against his arch nemesis Tom. But things change when a leash law is introduced. This film has a real plot with 2 major twists and this is something you can certainly not say about every T&J cartoon. Sure, there are moments too that don't make that much sense like Spike not grabbing Tom when he is within reach (despite the leash), but as a whole, it was an enjoyable watch and I can see why people like it. Thumbs up for this one.

TheLittleSongbird The story I agree has been used before, but what I love about Fit to be Tied is that it is very clever and funny. The animation is really nice, colourful and solid-looking, and the music is delightful with plenty of rousing themes. The cartoon moves at a cracking pace and the sight gags are extremely clever and funny and delivered thick and fast. The characters are all on top form, Tom is very crafty here and has a certain likability about him, Jerry is sweet and cunning and Spike is funny and sympathetic with some amusing (if not too much) dialogue. Plus I loved the ending. Overall, clever, funny and delightful, definitely recommended. 9/10 Bethany Cox

runar-4 People who look at William Hanna & Joseph Barbera's body of work with a dispassionate eye will quickly notice that they had a penchant for recycling old story lines (they weren't the only ones - Friz Freling at Warner Brothers regularly reused gags, but seldom complete stories). With slight variations as to the devices, "Fit To Be Tied" is nearly identical to 1944's "The Bodyguard". The similarities are such that if another studio had produced "Fit" they could have been sued for plagiarism. I guess with hundreds of cartoons to their credit, originality can't be expected every time, but `Fit' appeared long before the general decline of the quality of cartoon storywriting in the ‘60's, so it could have been closer to the norm in 1952.

Antzy88 Jerry, after hearing Spike yell in pain after having stepped on a tack, pulls it out, and the grateful canine gives him a bell that he can ring to contact him if he needs assistance. Tom tries to catch Jerry, but rings the bell and is rescued by Spike. However, Jerry runs into problems when a law is passed stating that all dogs must be kept on leads (that's what we in the UK call leashes) at all times.Great fun!
