One of my favorite Tom & Jerry cartoons also happens to be perfect for Halloween... "The Flying Sorceress" (1956). Tom answers a classified ad for an old woman seeking a cat. Of course the old woman turns out to be a witch. Check out some of these gorgeous screen caps:
Tom tires of constant chores in this suburban palace.
The old lady's home stands in a perpetual thunderstorm!
Tom's new bed. Yikes.
Tom steals the witch's broom...
But the fun doesn't last for long...
Of course the whole incident was just a dream.
For years the only way to see this classic was in a butchered pan and scan format, the way it was broadcast on television. But now you can enjoy it in all its Cinemascope widescreen glory on DVD. Buy it here.
This brought back many memories! Hahah! I love your blog :)
