A little indie tribute to Tom and Jerry from the 80s, depicting them as two elderly characters at the retirement home, before engaging once again in their slaptick antics.
Being an underground animation, I kinda was expecting some sort of malicious satire, but instead of that it was an affectionate, nostalgic homage.
Interesting how even back then in the 80s people were already complaining by the then "modern cartoons" (I suppose the "stand still cartoons where nobody gets hurt" referenced here must be Hanna-Barbera/Filmation stuff, which ironically enough, would be considered retro classics nowadays)
It seems the more things change, the more stay the same.
Shame Kirk Henderson never directed any other animated short.
