As an avid fan of Tom and Jerry, I enjoyed Heavenly Puss. I too couldn't help thinking of Pluto's Judgement Day when I saw this, and while that was very good this in my opinion was better. I loved the concept of the cartoon, the Heavenly Express looked amazing and Hell looked incredibly scary, I couldn't help feeling sorry for Tom as he begged for Jerry to sign for forgiveness. I also loved the artwork, with beautiful backgrounds and interesting character designs, and the music was really clever here ascending scales as Tom went up those stairs up into Heaven and the more dramatic threatening tones for Hell. There isn't anything hilarious here, but what stood out here was the cartoon's uniqueness. And the characters are fine, Jerry isn't given as much to do but he is still his sweet self, and Spike does a great job as the devilish dog figure with a laugh that still frightens me. I also liked the kindly conductor, he had some great dialogue, but as I've said before (sort of) Tom is the star of the show, although he is dastardly to begin with, his pleas for forgiveness are heart breaking and then the ending with him hugging Jerry(more to do with Jerry's confused facial expression) was quite funny. Oh, and those kittens are absolutely adorable. Overall, different but unique. 10/10 Bethany Cox

When I had watch this short, it's kind of like Disney's "Pluto's Judgement Day" (your judgement day nightmare) of course I thought of "Judgement Day" as in when you had died your soul will be judged. I had always question myself of the concept of Heaven and Hell, and OH! those little kittens are SO cute and I felt sorry for them; some people are just cruel.Well down to basics : In this short, Tom got "killed" while chasing Jerry. He goes to heaven and meets the cat who meets dead cats boarding the "Heavenly Express." Tom is given one hour to have Jerry sign a certificate of forgiveness. If Jerry signs, he goes to Heaven; if he doesn't then he goes to Hell. I love the ending and Jerry's "O-K what just happen?" look on his face, when Tom kisses him.

I just saw this cartoon for the fourth time this week in boomerang on Cartoon Network this evening and turned on my computer again - just to check this out... and wondered - the cat who check and clears the cats for the heavenly express, isn't it Anthony Hopkins voice?? wondered and checked it out on this site, and it turned out that there where no voice records on this - and I read Anthonys as well... turned out nothing.. maybe its me?? would like to get some voice records - or just an answer for my wondering... this is one of my favorite tom and jerry small time cartoon.../L

In an attempt to catch Jerry, Tom gets killed when his plan goes wrong. His spirit then ascends to the clouds, where he finds the Heavenly Express train preparing to disembark. The problem is, the ticket-seller will not let Tom pass due to his malevolent antics with Jerry, so he is given one hour to get Jerry's signature on a Certificate Of Forgiveness -- or go to Hell!This cartoon is quite amusing, and the oversensitive ones will be pleased to know that there's little of the violence that the T&J series has often been accused of emphasising. The cartoon also has a twist at the end that I won't spoil.
