In a large house on Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve, nothing moved, not even a mouse … or so it seems at first. Jerry out of his hole to avoid a mousetrap with Christmas themes (and baited with a piece of cheese wrapped in a red ribbon) placed in its hole. Jerry quickly moves to Christmas, hopping merrily round the tree, licking the candy canes, and jumping on a stuffed lion that squeaked. Jerry still jumping in the stuffed animal, but it bounces too much and falls into what he thinks is another soft toy. Jerry jumps up and down the gray skin, without realizing that what is jumping on is, in fact, Tom, it has attracted. Tom growls and just before he can eat Jerry, thinking quickly grabs the mouse close “Do not open until Christmas” tag and immediately put into the mouth of Tom.

The Midnight Snack is a 1941 animated cartoon of a reel and is the second Tom and Jerry short, produced in Technicolor and released on July 19, 1941 by Metro-Goldwyn Mayer and re-released in 1957 as a re-edited. Produced by Fred Quimby and directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, with musical supervision by Scott Bradley. This cartoon featured the second appearance of Tom and Jerry, and was the first in which the characters were named. The first cartoon, Puss Gets the Boot had a cat named Jasper and a mouse called Jinx. The Midnight Snack also has the black maid Mammy Two Shoes, Lillian Randolph’s voice, and usually ends in destruction and Tom to be expelled from the house.
Puss Gets the Boot is a caricature of a reel of animation and the first Tom and Jerry short, although not considered as such in the cartoon. It was released on February 10, 1940 by Metro-Goldwyn Mayer. It was produced by Rudolf Ising (who had virtually nothing to do with all production) and directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, his first collaboration that lasted over half a century, with musical supervision by Scott Bradley. The cartoon was animated by Carlos Urbano, Tony Pabian, Jack Zander, Peter Burness and Bob Allen.
The only screen credit on this film was “a Rudolf Ising production.” The film is characterized by the first appearances of characters that would later be christened Tom and Jerry and it would appear in more than 110 cartoons and short films, seven of which won the Oscar for Best Short Film: Cartoons. As such, Puss Gets the Boot gave the animated duo their first Oscar nomination, although short lost another Rudolf Ising MGM cartoon, The Milky Way. In short, the cat’s name is Jasper and the mouse is not given a name, but unofficially known as Jinx. Continue reading Tom and Jerry – Puss Gets The Boot
