The Hungry Wolf

**The Hungry Wolf** is a 1942 one-reel animated cartoon short subject from MGM. It tells the story of a hungry wolf who one day, while starving during a cold winter, meets with a rabbit and is struggling between his instincts and conscience.

## Plot

A wolf is out of food, and begins hallucinating, seeing a rope as sausages and a rolling pin as an ear of corn. A young rabbit named Lili, lost in the snow, comes in, and the wolf eyes him hungrily. Lili is amazingly polite, and just before the wolf is about to cook him, asks the wolf to be his daddy. The wolf can't bring himself to eat him and sends him away. But the hunger will not stop, so he sets out in search of the rabbit. The rabbits mother in a fit of worry sets out to find her son and indeed does but with the wolf lying next to him having fainted from the cold. They carry him back home with them and give a him a blanket a tub of hot water to warm up his feet and some turkey to satisfy his hunger much to his joy.

## Notes

* This was the last cartoon to be directed by Hugh Harman as he left one year prior to this cartoon's release to start his own cartoon studio.
* This was also Mel Blanc's last MGM cartoon for which he had provided voice work before he went to work exclusively for Leon Schlesinger Productions.

The Framed Cat

**The Framed Cat** is a 1950 cartoon directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.

## Plot

Tom knocks down some crockery while secretly tucking into some chicken. Mammy Two Shoes hears this so he plants the evidence on Jerry, effectively framing the mouse. He then proceeds to dispose of Jerry in front of Mammy Two Shoes. She warns him to get rid of this 'chicken-stealing mouse'. Tom acting like a 'hero' to the maid chases Jerry out in the yard, looks around, throws the mouse and eats the chicken away and takes a nap. Jerry, thinking of a way to get his own back on Tom sees Spike cuddling with his bone and also takes a nap. Jerry quietly takes the bone away from Spike and places it Tom's chest. Spike gets awakened after noticing his bone has disappeared and screams in the voice of a man to see Tom with his bone. He angrily warns him to stay away from his bone. Tom is thrown back into the tree as Spike storms off. The cat sticks out his tongue and gets whacked again, biting it. He then spots Jerry laughing himself silly. Jerry stops in front of Spike and spins his bone into the air. Tom can't think of anything to do but catch it (which is the wrong thing to do) Tom tricks Spike into standing up and puts Spike's bone on top of his nose. Spike is incensed at being made to look like a "jackass", but can only go down to sleep, as the cat is nowhere to be seen. Spike drops his bone into a hole that he just dug, but Jerry steals it while Spike isn't looking. Satisfied that Tom won't get to the bone, Spike goes to sleep. Jerry sneaks behind Tom, who is keeping watch behind an automated trash can, ties the bone to Tom's tail, and slams the lid into Tom's face. Jerry makes sure to take the chase past Spike, who is astounded that someone got to his bone. While Tom keeps up the chase, Spike bites on the bone attached to Tom's tail, but gets tangled up in a tree with the cat. Tom ends up in possession of the bone, and when Spike growls, Tom puts it in Spike's mouth, but then winds it up and blows Spike away as if he were a model aeroplane. Spike decides to go to sleep by his house. Meanwhile, Jerry screws a piece of magnetic iron into Spike's bone, then places a magnet in a sleeping Tom's mouth, causing the bone to end up being attracted to Tom, no matter how many times or how hard Spike tries to retain his grip on the bone and Tom tries to rid himself of it. Tom throws the bone out into the street where Spike chases it, only to miss it twice, in midair then off the fence, which he bites through. He finally does get a hold of it, only to lose it running into the fork of a tree, managing to grab it once more with his tongue before losing it once more. Tom winds up running off down the street with the bone following him (this time, developing a mind of its own and running on its own accord), pursued by Spike, with the magnetic bone remaining close to Tom. Jerry, in a tin can, cheers for his victory and the tin can is dragged along in the pursuit. In the final scene, Tom runs off as Spike dashes after him and Jerry is dragged from the tin can by the magnet (himself thus thinking his plan backfired at him) during the chase down the roadside.
Tom and Chérie

**Tom and Chérie** is a 1955 *Tom and Jerry* cartoon directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. It is the 94th one-reel animated *Tom and Jerry* short, created in 1955 directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and produced by Fred Quimby with music by Scott Bradley. It was the third (of four) cartoons in the Mouseketeer series of cartoons, the first of which, *The Two Mouseketeers* (1952) won an Academy Award, and the second, *Touché, Pussy Cat!* (1954) received an Academy Award nomination.

## Trivia

* This is the first *Tom and Jerry* cartoon produced and released in theaters entirely in the CinemaScope widescreen aspect ratio with no alternate Academy ratio format option, a stark contrast to the cartoons *Pet Peeve*, *Touché, Pussy Cat!*, *Southbound Duckling* and *Pup on a Picnic* which were on the other hand produced and released in theaters in both ratios, though this wouldn't be officially the norm until at least when Fred Quimby retired as producer beginning with *That's My Mommy*, as the next two *Tom and Jerry* shorts *Smarty Cat* and *Pecos Pest* are the last *Tom and Jerry* cartoons produced in the standard Academy ratio and format.
* This is the only two Tom and Jerry cartoons during the Hanna-Barbera era where Tom and Jerry never come in contact with each other (other being in *The Duck Doctor*).

Screwy Squirrel

Screwy Squirrel image

**Screwy Squirrel**, also known as **Screwball Squirrel**, is an animated cartoon character created by Tex Avery for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The squirrel made his debut in the 1944 Tex Avery-directed *Screwball Squirrel*.

Though he technically died at the end of 1946's *Lonesome Lenny*, he was later revived for the 1993 television series *Droopy, Master Detective*, produced by Hanna-Barbera. There, his name was always "Screwball Squirrel."

He is a red squirrel with buckteeth and a big black shiny nose. From *Big Heel Watha* onwards he has a tuft of blonde hair, smaller eyes and one gold tooth.

Bruce W. Smith was developing a series about the character for Warner Bros. in where Screwy thought he was living in Hollywood, California but was really living in Hollywood Alabama. The project never got off the ground.

Today, Warner Bros. owns Turner Entertainment's the pre-May 1986 MGM library, including Screwy Squirrel.

A cartoon rabbit resembling Screwy Squirrel appears in a picture in Lena Hyena's room in the 1988 Disney/Touchstone film *Who Framed Roger Rabbit*. Screwy is mockingly mentioned by one of Eddie Valiant's bar patrons Angelo: "Who's your client, Mr. Detective of the Stars? Chilly Willy, or Screwy Squirrel?" According to the original storyboards of the film, Screwy was originally going to make a physical cameo appearance in that film during the Toontown scene, but was cut. Screwy also made a cameo appearance in 2022 Netflix interactive film *Cat Burglar*.

War Dogs

**War Dogs** is a 1943 cartoon directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.

## Plot

The cartoon is a mockumentary about the secret canine war unit "The WOOFs"'s day regime. Camera shows us many war dogs (including Spike (voiced by Billy Bletcher) and the St. Bernard from *Puttin' on the Dog*) sleeping and doing laughable things. Camera concentrates on one yellow dog, Private Smiley, sleeping in its tent and dreaming about chasing caricatured Japanese soldier. Then, it wakes up and marks the fourth Japanese beaten in his slumber. Then, the trumpet rings a signal to gather up, and all dogs expect the yellow one run on signal. The yellow dog sleeps so tightly that a man douses it with water. Then, a roll call goes. All dogs except the yellow one bark to roll call. Then, commander orders a yellow dog to march and then to do various commands with funny effort.

Then, the yellow dog sits in cabinet trying to distinguish the military things and not-military things again with funny efforts. At one moment, frame with pin-up girl appears and dog gazes on it even when next frame is shown by moving the border of it. When frame with Hitler is shown, dog tears apart the frames with anger and makes inscription "BUY BONDS" from frame remains.

Then, we see a message delivery training. The yellow dog carries a letter and tiny dog carries a P.S message (a size gag).

Later, we see how the yellow dog builds a tent (even with a fire hydrant!) within a time limit. Looks like all is done, but when dog pulls one non-connected thread, all tent dismantles back.

Then, we see how yellow dog tries to ski and drive aircraft, both unsuccessful. Then, we look at the parachute training. Dog don't wants to jump from the aircraft, but when he sees bone thrown away in the air by man, he jumps to bone, but without parachute bag. Dog understands that he is in air, but it's too late, and dog crashes. Dog lies in hospital with fractures and next to him lies....broken bone.

Then, dog puts on the helmet and tests what impact its head will bear with helmet. The dog bears even 500 newton hammer impact, but falls shortly after taking it. Dog then must distinguish the real tree from the soldiers camouflaged as trees. He almost pisses on one of camouflaged soldiers, but they quickly go out from dog. Dog realizes that he is on real battlefield, and explores the battlefield by holding on rolling tank hidden under him. Dog hides in straw, but he doesn't know that he is hidden in anti-aircraft gun cloaked in straw. The anti-aircraft gun shoots the dog into general headquarters's tents, and the tents fall one by one like dominoes.

Then, the camera shows us that dog is arrested for its deeds and sitting in a jail-like kennel, but the dog sleeps happily.

Señor Droopy

**Señor Droopy** is a 1949 *Droopy* cartoon directed by Tex Avery.

## Plot

A bullfight contest between Droopy and The Wolf, staged at the Chili Bowl in Mexico. Both men are told that the winner of the contest will receive anything they want. Both of them want a date with Mexican actress Lina Romay that is pictured on the front page of a magazine they are holding.

Droopy and the Wolf begin battling the bull with the Wolf successfully outsmarting him, but the bull laughs at Droopy and finds him as nothing more than a harmless nuisance and constantly gets rid of him with methods including pushing him aside, turning his hat like a key which sends Droopy away like a wind-up toy and finally attaching Droopy's sword and cape to his clothes as a sail and blowing him away. Droopy then decides to give up and walks slowly home.

The Wolf is finally overpowered by the bull and is thrown clear out of the ring, landing on a cactus. Droopy sees this and grabs the Wolf's cape, deciding to get back in the arena for another try, but the bull keeps pushing him away once again. Droopy rolls to the ground with his magazine falling out of his pocket. Droopy weeps at being a failure and saying goodbye to his dream girl as he looks at Lina Romay's face.

The bull sees this and draws a moustache and goatee on Lina's picture before laughing himself silly. Droopy quietly puts the magazine back in his pocket, marches up to the still laughing bull and says: "You know what? That makes me mad!" He then beats up the bull before hurling him out of the ring, where he lands on the same cactus as the still dazed Wolf.

Droopy has won the contest and the Judge asks him what he wants. Droopy shows him the magazine with Lina Moray's picture (which no longer has the moustache and goatee on it), telling him that she is what he wants. The Judge laughs and says that Lina wouldn't want him.

However he is proven wrong when Droopy is seen with Lina stroking his head and breaking the fourth wall saying: "Oh No?" Droopy then breaks the fourth wall saying: "You know what? I'm happy!"

Pop tries to forget about him, but when the chips are down, and all the other chicks have been knocked out, "mama's boy" comes to the rescue. The little rooster is thrown into a cockfight (the Golden Spur Tournament for Junior Bantam Weights) after The Champ wipes out a challenger. The runt of the group wins the fight.

## Notes

* Walt Disney Productions contracted out the production of three *Silly Symphonies* shorts - "Merbabies", "Pipe Dreams", and "The Little Bantamweight" - to Harman-Ising Productions. Of the three, Disney only kept one ("Merbabies"), with the other two being sent to MGM, who released them as *Happy Harmonies* cartoons.
* This is the last released short in the *Happy Harmonies* series. The reason for the end of the series was because the shorts were too expensive to produce, going far over the budget, as these had new musical scores to compose, were long in duration, and were produced in 3-color Technicolor, all the while the Great Depression was going on. Obvious to the fact that the studio was losing money, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer terminated their contract with Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising, as they subcontracted Harman and Ising to produce cartoons for them. Shortly after their termination, Fred Quimby got them to work at MGM's in-house cartoon studio.

The Stork's Holiday

**The Stork's Holiday** is a 1943 MGM short directed by George Gordon.

## Summary

The stork must improvise a defense against anti-aircraft fire in order to deliver babies to Nazi Germany.

## Plot

The stork tells about a harrowing encounter with a gun emplacement. As a result, he declares himself "closed for the duration." His reflection in the mirror, however, gives him a pep talk, reminding him of his ancestors who flew in the previous wars. The stork sets out with homemade armor and, with the help of a cigar smoke screen and a cloud, manages to send the planes chasing him right down the barrel of the "Big Bertha" gun.

## Aftermath

In 1975, MGM licensed the characters to Hanna-Barbara's animation studio, who produced a new series of *Tom and Jerry* cartoons for *The Tom and Jerry/Grape Ape Show*. Tom and Jerry were depicted as friends, as opposed to friendly enemies.

In 1980, Filmation produced and released *The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show*. Droopy was also featured in cartoons on the show.

In March 1986, Turner Entertainment bought Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. They quickly sold MGM back due to unforeseen financial issues, but Turner kept most of the studio's pre-1986 library of films and the rights to their characters.

On October 10, 1996, Warner Bros. became the current owner of the *Tom and Jerry* franchise after purchasing Turner Entertainment.

Warner Bros. Animation, also owned by WarnerMedia, has produced direct-to-video *Tom and Jerry* movies annually since 2005, along with the 2006 TV show *Tom and Jerry Tales* and the 2014 TV show *The Tom and Jerry Show* (not to be confused with the 1975 cartoon show produced by Hanna-Barbara).
Turner Entertainment

**Turner Entertainment Company** is an American entertainment company currently serving as the copyright and trademark holder for most pre-May 1986 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer content. New releases of this content are handled by Warner Bros.

## History

On March 25, 1986, the company purchased Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. However, due to financial concerns, he was forced to sell it back on August 26, 1986. However, Turner was allowed to keep MGM's film and television library, as well as some United Artists films, thus forming **Turner Entertainment Company**, but MGM still held the home video rights to them until March 1999.

On October 10, 1996, Warner Bros. purchased Turner Entertainment. Warner Bros. has handled new releases of Turner-owned content since March 1999 when MGM's video rights eventually expired.

## Library

Turner Entertainment's current library includes:

* Nearly all of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's film, television and cartoon library released prior to May 23, 1986
	+ Material from MGM's predecessors (Metro Pictures, Goldwyn Pictures, and Louis B. Mayer Pictures) (post-1915) that did not enter the public domain

The Little Orphan

***The Little Orphan*** is a 1949 *Tom and Jerry* cartoon.

## Characters

* Tom Cat
* Jerry Mouse
* Nibbles Mouse
* Mammy Two Shoes (cameo)

## Plot

The cartoon starts with Jerry reading a book whilst taking cheese from a mousetrap. Nibbles arrives and passes Jerry, before trying to take all the cheese from the trap. Jerry saves Nibbles in time. Jerry has been asked to take care of Nibbles over the Thanksgiving holiday. However, Nibbles is, as the note pinned to his scarf says, always hungry. Jerry attempts to feed the little mouse with his own food, but his cupboards are empty. Quietly, he leads Nibbles out of the mousehole, and sneaks into the living room, where Tom is sleeping beside a bowl of cream. Jerry allows Nibbles to drink the cream from the bowl, before spotting a turkey. Mammy Two Shoes (in cameo) takes the turkey and puts it on the table then leaves. Nibbles spots the feast too. Nibbles proceeds to eat certain foods from the table, while Jerry dresses himself and Nibbles as pilgrims, but the trouble begins when Nibbles swallows an orange whole. Jerry hits Nibbles with a knife to remove the orange. It shoots straight out of Nibbles' mouth and right into the sleeping Tom, waking him up.

After Tom's rude awakening, he spies on the two mice, and wearing a feather duster as a Native American headdress, catches Nibbles. Jerry pops a champagne cork into Tom's face. Tom returns, grabbing Jerry. Nibbles takes a fork and propelled by a plate of jell-o, launches the fork into Tom's rear end. Tom picks up the offending fork and hurls it towards Nibbles, catching him by the diaper. As Tom catches Nibbles, Jerry runs up a nearby candlestick and whacks Tom in the face with a spoon.

Tom launches flaming cattails, melting Jerry and Nibbles' hiding places. As they flee, Jerry runs into a knife thrown by Tom, and is knocked out cold. Tom grabs Jerry once again. Nibbles catapults a pie into Tom's face, knocking the cat off the table. Nibbles slingshots a candle onto Tom's tail, burning him, so that he appears in blackface (Censorship). Finally, Nibbles launches a champagne bottle like a missile, which hits Tom and shoots him into a cabinet. Tom finally surrenders.

Finally, Tom, Jerry and Nibbles do grace at the table. Nibbles finishes his prayers and proceeds to devour the entire turkey before Tom and Jerry are able to pick up their cutlery, leaving the little orphan with a full stomach with him patting it experiencing delight.
