Shutter Bugged Cat is a Tom and Jerry 1967 cartoon directed by Tom Ray.

Plot
Tom watches clips of him attempting to catch Jerry.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) It's a clip show of Hanna Barbara-era of Tom and Jerry such as footage from Part Time Pal, The Yankee Doodle Mouse, Nit-Witty Kitty, Johann Mouse, Heavenly Puss and Designs on Jerry.
 * 2) Most of the short relies on old footage rather than new clips.
 * 3) It's a torture episode for Tom when his traps backfire on him as Jerry laughs at his past misfortunes.
 * 4) The classic shorts themselves look like stock footage.
 * 5) Predictable ending: the same ending happening like Designs on Jerry.
 * 6) Plot Hole: How did Tom get footage from these cartoon especially in Heavenly Puss which was a dream.
 * 7) Bad ending: Tom nails Jerry's mouse hole shut, and decides to make a mouse trap to catch Jerry (using footage from the 1955 short Designs on Jerry). Jerry gets out of his mouse hole and finds the trap. He modifies a measurement on the blueprints in order again to make the trap fail (like he did in Designs on Jerry). The trap is set, but the safe contraption (a part of the trap meant to get him) hits Tom instead. Later, Jerry films Tom ripping the blueprints he used for the mouse trap.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Some people might like this episode.
 * 2) There are some new footage.
 * 3) Tom and Jerry's designs look closely to their originals to catch Jerry but still backfires on him again.

Trivia
This episode is loosely based on the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner Cartoon "Roadrunner a Go-Go" as both feature reused footages from the old cartoons, ending up with the same result.
