Let's take a trip nearly 600 years into the future with Tom & Jerry in Chuck Jones' 1967 sci-fi farce, "Guided Mouse-ille (or Science on a Wet Afternoon)":
The fact that this was set in 2565 suggests the short was originally produced in 1965, but it took two years for MGM to release it. No matter what, it is hysterical.
Come to think of it, don't ya think Hanna-Barbera used this as inspiration for the more contemporary Motormouse & Autocat a couple of years later?
Rating: A.

And yet, Chuck's unit produced at least two more space/future-oriented Tom & Jerry shorts that feel like a continuation/rehash of this!
Actually, it was a trilogy. I'll find the others.
Yeah, there were three. Some of us joke that they forgot how many they made so they kept doing it.
At least this cartoon has an interesting ending to it with them being blasted into the stone age.
