Short summary

Tom chases Jerry into a fish cannery; they get sealed into cans. Tom breaks out, but falls off a pier as the cans roll under him. A shark chases him out of the water; Tom drops an anchor on the shark. Meanwhile, Jerry has been hopping in his can; Tom opens it, and puts his finger in, which Jerry bites. Jerry tricks Tom into falling off the end of another pier, and right into the shark's path again. The shark manages to get Tom into a very precarious position, barely holding the jaws apart. Jerry takes pity, and dumps a shaker full of pepper into the shark, which ends up on the processing line and stuffed into a huge can. Tom is unrepentant, so Jerry tricks him with a fake shark fin.

The final Tom and Jerry cartoon directed by Chuck Jones.

The title refers to the 1945 novel 'Cannery Row' by American author John Steinbeck. It was published in 1945. Cannery Row takes place on a small fictional street lined with sardine fisheries in Monterey known as Cannery Row.

Tom chases Jerry into a fish cannery, where the pair are sealed into cans. Tom uses his claws to free himself and then opens Jerry's tin, hoping to eat the mouse. Instead, he gets his finger bitten by Jerry, and a chase around the wharf ensues, with Tom almost being eaten by a shark.

If you've already seen Puss 'N' Boats (1966) then certain elements of Cannery Rodent will seem very familiar, especially the dockland setting and the shark. And a lack of originality isn't the cartoon's only negative: the animation isn't that great (the shark is horribly drawn) and the gags are very predictable, especially the ending, which sees Jerry donning a fake shark's fin to scare Tom.

Cannery Rodent is mildly amusing, but it isn't that great in my opinion. There are of course some amusing sight gags, the pacing is quite brisk and the music is nice and upbeat. Plus Tom and Jerry are still likable enough. However, the animation while not the worst-looking of the Tom and Jerry cartoons is not that great, lacking in crispness and vibrancy, and the story is predictable and somewhat unoriginal on the most part, with an ending that held no real surprises for me.

Overall, not brilliant but not the worst of the lot. At least it is no Switchin' Kitten, which is one of the only ones of about three Tom and Jerry cartoons that are best avoided. 6/10 for Cannery Rodent. Bethany Cox
