Tall in the Trap

**Tall in the Trap** is a 1962 *Tom and Jerry* cartoon directed by Gene Deitch.

## Availability

* (2015) DVD - *Tom and Jerry: The Gene Deitch Collection* (restored; Warner Bros.)
* (2017) Streaming - Boomerang

## Notes

* This cartoon was originally going to be titled "Top Trap", perhaps not wanting to remind people of Hanna Barbera was the reason for the change?
* The MGM's Lion logo does not appear at the opening titles, rather this one creatively uses a poster of a Lion in the setting of the short.
* Strangely the scene of the store owner urging the sheriff to find someone to get rid of Jerry is shown twice, once at the start and once more after the opening scene. Perhaps the reason for this was to emulate the way some tv shows gave teasers of the episode before it would start.
* This cartoon is a parody of *Have Gun – Will Travel*an American Western series that was produced and originally broadcast by CBS on both television and radio from 1957 through 1963.
* The cartoon's concept was originally written by Warner screenwriter Tedd Pierce to be for a Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies short featuring Speedy Gonzales and Sylvester the Cat and was pitched to director Robert McKimson. However, McKimson disapproved of the storyline, and decided not to use it. Instead, Pierce sold it to Danch and Deitch, who were desperately looking for suitable storylines for *Tom and Jerry*. Ironically, Mckimson would later go on to do his own parody of *Have Gun – Will Travel* with "Feather Finger"

## Plot

Eager to impress Toodles, Tom smuggles a double bass into the courtyard below for a serenade. Before this, he makes fun of Spike, luring him out so he can be subdued and tied down. Tom does his best rendition of Louis Jordan's "Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby" for Toodles, using Spike for a musical cameo.

Down in the basement, Jerry is awakened by a thumping bass solo. Jerry makes his way into the kitchen to harass Tom by Cream pie with Iron and Jelly 1 Plate. His mood ruined, Tom chases Jerry around the kitchen, but is tricked into diving into a sink full of plates, and trapped in a window.

Jerry finds Spike and unties him just as Tom catches up. Spike trades his regular teeth for a more dangerous set, and goes after Tom. Tom avoids getting mauled, hides outside the courtyard wall holding a brick to bash Spike with, but the wall is too short, Spike notices the brick, and peeks down at Tom. Tom looks up at Spike and knocks him out with the brick. Tom chases Jerry again, but loses track enough for Jerry to find Spike again. Jerry whips Spike awake with a 2x4 and promptly passes it to the now-present Tom. Thinking quickly, Tom uses the 2x4 to play 'fetch' with Spike. Spike, following his canine instincts, barks playfully and rushes after the 2x4. he is about to pick it up, only to realize Tom had tricked him, turning into a "jackass" for a moment. Furious, Spike returned the attention to Tom.

While Spike continues to chase Tom, Tom sneaks some romantic moments with Toodles. Spike catches on the side action and takes Toodles' spot. Unaware, Tom makes out with Spike. Tom realizes that Toodles is watching, and that he is holding Spike- he slams him into the ground and runs away.

Tom ditches Spike at a corner, bumping into Jerry again. Jerry is chased into Spike's doghouse, and Tom signals the advantage with an ominous Dracula laugh. Jerry reappears safe at the entry, with Spike in tow. Spike backs into his house, giving the same ominous Dracula laugh and his final whipping at Tom as the whole doghouse thrashes around. Tom tries to flee but Spike grabs him and forcing Tom to have is will.

Toodles is serenaded again, but this time with Spike, who has Tom tied down to the double bass. Jerry gives a fiddling flourish using Tom's whiskers.

Swing Wedding

**Swing Wedding** is a 1937 *Happy Harmonies* cartoon directed by Hugh Harman.

## Plot

A "sequel" to The Old Mill Pond, the cartoon portrays a wedding celebrated by a group of frogs in a swamp. The frogs are designed as caricatures of various African American celebrities of the 1930s, such as Ethel Waters, Stepin Fetchit, Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Fats Waller and the Mills Brothers.

## Notes

* First to be labeled as "A Hugh Harman, Rudolf Ising Cartoon".
* Though hailed as "'one of the finest one-reelers in all of animation" by some commentators, others have derided the use of Zip Coon-type figures and stereotypical dialogue (including expressions such as "Who dat?" and "Yowza!"). The film also contains a controversial scene in which a frog musician uses his trumpet valve as a syringe. The scene plays on the stereotype of black jazz musicians using drugs before performing.
* This cartoon was re-released in a shorter version called "Hot Frogs" in 1942.[*citation needed*|date=]

Droopy Leprechaun

**Droopy Leprechaun** is a 1958 *Droopy* cartoon directed by Michael Lah. It is the final *Droopy* theatrical cartoon.

## Plot

Butch is in Ireland after a pot of gold, convinced that Droopy is a leprechaun.

## Availability

* VHS - *Cartoon Moviestars*: Here Comes Droopy!
* DVD - *Tex Avery's Droopy: The Complete Theatrical Collection* (Warner Bros.)

## Trivia

* This episode confirms that Butch is Irish.
* This would be the final major appearance of Droopy until 1990's "Tom & Jerry Kids", where brand new shorts were created starring him.
* It is also the final MGM theatrical cartoon directed by Michael Lah.

## Errors/Goofs

* When Droopy flies to Ireland, the map shows the Republic of Ireland controlling all of the island of Ireland, however in reality, the UK controls most of northern tip of the island, separating the island into two countries.

Swing Shift Cinderella

**Swing Shift Cinderella** is a 1945 animated short directed by Tex Avery.

## Plot

The Big Bad Wolf is chasing Little Red Riding Hood. But then Little Red Riding Hood stops and points out that the two of them are in the wrong cartoon. The Wolf shoos her away and decides to go and meet Cinderella (played by Red from *Red Hot Riding Hood*). He takes a taxi to her house and immediately falls in love with her upon seeing her, but she sternly rebuffs him. Eventually, Cinderella calls her Fairy Godmother to get rid of him and set her up for that night's ball. The second the Fairy Godmother hears that there is a Wolf, she rushes right over. The Fairy Godmother traps the Wolf, then gives Cinderella a red evening gown and transforms a pumpkin into a Woodie for her to go the ball, but tells Cinderella that she has to get home by midnight (just like in the classic fairy tale).

The oversexed Fairy Godmother then keeps the Wolf busy. She appears before him in an old-fashioned 1890s swimsuit ("Miss Repulsive 1898") and then an evening gown before trying to snuggle up to him on the couch. She chases him all around Cinderella's house, but the Wolf escapes when he gets the Fairy Godmother's wand, turning Cinderella's bathtub into a convertible car. He leaves for the nightclub where Cinderella is performing, with the Fairy Godmother in pursuit. Soon after arriving, the Wolf accidentally kisses the Fairy Godmother, thinking she was Cinderella, which only further deepens her lust for the Wolf. Cinderella soon comes out on-stage and performs a show dance while singing the song "Oh, Wolfie". The Wolf howls and chases after Cinderella, but the smitten Godmother uses various methods (usually a mallet) to keep him in line.

When the clock strikes midnight, the Fairy Godmother warns Cinderella and she leaves, but not before the Wolf starts to pursue his chase. The Godmother once again tries to stop him, but this time, the Wolf uses her own methods against her and pursues Cinderella. Cinderella rushes home as the Fairy Godmother's transformation wears off, but she manages to make it home in time—it turns out that Cinderella is a Rosie the Riveter and that the reason she had to be home by midnight was so she would not be late for the night shift at Lockweed. Cinderella is relieved to be rid of the Wolf, but to her dismay, it is revealed that the bus is full of wolves, who start wolf-whistling and catcalling at her as the cartoon ends.

Mouse for Sale

**Mouse for Sale** is a 1955 *Tom and Jerry* cartoon directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.

## Plot

Tom is reading the newspaper when he notices an ad that reads “BIG MONEY PAID FOR WHITE MICE.” He paints a bolt to look like a piece of Swiss cheese and knocks it into Jerry’s mousehole. Once the mouse swallows the bolt, Tom uses a magnet to pull Jerry towards him, then paints him white and sells him to the pet shop. He hides the money under the rug, then lies down and fantasies about being rich. However, Joan finds the money under the rug and uses it to buy a white mouse, who is actually Jerry painted white.

Jerry hops out of the box and dances on a spindle, then balances an orange on his nose. Joan turns on the radio and Jerry dances to the music on Tom’s head. Tom tries to hit Jerry with a coal spade, but misses. Jerry runs around the table while Tom tries to catch the mouse. Finally, Tom does catch Jerry, but Joan notices and hits Tom with a broom several times, causing him to run outside. Tom notices that the curtains are closed on one of the windows. The curtains open and Jerry holds a sign reading “Jerry, the Dancing Mouse.” Tom turns on the garden hose, opens the window, and blasts Jerry with the hose, rinsing off the white paint in the process. Tom runs into the house and traps Jerry under a teapot. Joan notices and tells Tom that he is not supposed to be in the house. Jerry sneaks out the spout of the teapot and hops in a canister of flour, turning himself white. Joan asks if Tom has Jerry under the teapot. He lifts it up, revealing Jerry, so Joan hits Tom on the head with a broom.

Tom runs into the living room and grabs a fireplace bellows, which he uses to blow the flour off Jerry’s torso. Jerry quickly tears off a piece of a feather duster to cover his torso. When Joan notices, he does a quick dance before leaving. Tom sticks the bellows behind Jerry’s back and blows the rest of the flour off of the mouse. Jerry runs into a closet and Tom tries to open it, leading to repeated whackings on the head from Joan. Tom breaks the room in half and opens the door, and out leaps Jerry—once again white. Tom grabs one half of the broom, begins whacking himself on the head again, and runs into the garage. He notices Jerry kiss a bottle of white shoe polish, which gives him the idea to coat himself with white paint. He rings the doorbell. When Joan opens the door, Tom holds out a sign reading “Tom the Dancing Cat” and begins doing the same dance that Jerry did earlier. Joan is charmed by the dance, believing Tom was jealous. She lets Tom in, but on the condition that he and Jerry be friends. When she leaves, Tom begins dancing again, but this time while stomping on Jerry.

Switchin' Kitten

**Switchin' Kitten** is a 1961 *Tom and Jerry* cartoon directed by Gene Deitch.

## Plot

During a storm, Tom is trying to find a place to stay after being thrown out of a horse-drawn wagon. In the meantime, Jerry is assisting a mad scientist in a castle. They take Lightning and strap him to a table next to a dog that is strapped to another table. The mad scientist and Jerry push a number of buttons and controls to switch the brains of the cat and dog, that is, Lightning now has a dog's brain and vice versa. The mad scientist gives the "cat" to Jerry as a companion. While they are sleeping, Tom approaches the castle, noticing Jerry. Lightning (with a dog brain) growls and threatens Tom. Tom tries to convince Lightning that he is a cat, but fails. Over the next few minutes, Tom's efforts to catch Jerry are thwarted by Lightning. As Tom runs off in fright, he comes into contact with other animals that the mad scientist has experimented on, including a chirping elephant, a chicken that bleats like a lamb, a mooing cuckoo-bird, a dog whose brain was switched with Lightning, Tom prays for the cartoon not to end, but Jerry roars like the MGM Lion, Leo, with the trademark ribbon that reads "Ars Gratia Artis" (Latin for "Art for Art's Sake"), the official motto for the company) ends it anyway. Tom blasts off like a spacecraft, as he flees out of the castle, while Jerry winks at the camera as it closes.

## Release

After AT&T acquired Time-Warner, many changes began to happen, including a deemphasis on Boomerang in favor of HBO Max, and a move away from physical Media. With the launch of HBO Max not getting as many subscribers as Warner media was hoping for, massive layoffs happened in every division of Warner Bros, and it looked like there was no one left at Warner Archive. After being unhappy with HBO Max, AT&T announced a merger with Discovery, and indicated they were going to be hands off while they looked for someone to buy their remaining interest in Warner Bros.

On Sep 1st 2021 George Feltenstein announced on several DVD/Blu Ray forums that he was back running Warner Archive. The next day, Sep 2nd, Tex Avery Screwball Classics vol. 3 was announced. A lot of work had been done before the shutdown of Warner Archive on the restoration of the cartoons in this collection, but it was not known if the work had been completed.
MeTV

**MeTV**, an acronym for Memorable Entertainment Television, is an American broadcast television network. Marketed as "The Definitive Destination for classic TV", the network airs a variety of classic television programs from the 1950s through the early 1990s.

In January 2021, the network started to air two blocks called "Toon In with Me" and "Saturday Morning Cartoons" consisting of classic Warner Bros. cartoons alongside *Popeye*, *MGM*, and *Tom and Jerry* shorts. This made MeTV the first station in over twenty years to air these cartoons outside of Cartoon Network and Boomerang, and the first non-WarnerMedia-owned station in the United States to achieve this status.

In May 2021, the network began airing *Pink Panther* shorts and other shorts from DePatie-Freleng Enterprises, and also aired a "MeTV+" exclusive block, "Sunday Night Cartoons", which consists of reruns of certain shorts. However, despite the fact that the latter does reruns, it is known to air new cartoons too, restored or unrestored.

## Notes

* "Toon In with Me", "Saturday Morning Cartoons" almost always air restored and remastered prints of the MGM shorts, using HBO Max releases as necessary. This includes the airing of various restored prints of cartoons that were never released to DVD or HBO Max. The newly restored and remastered prints of the following have aired on MeTV before being released to DVD or HBO Max:
	+ "Goggle Fishing Bear" (1949) (for SMC)
	+ "Señor Droopy" (1949) (for SMC)
	+ "Cock-a-Doodle Dog" (1951) (for TIWM)
