Tom & Jerry
The Night Before Christmas (1941)
Duration 8:38 minutes.
It's Christmas Eve and nothing is stirring. But Jerry emerges from his hole avoiding a Christmas-themed mousetrap placed beside his hole. Jerry nears the Christmas presents, jumping merrily around the tree, licking candy canes and jumping onto a plush toy lion that squeaks. Jerry continues jumping on the soft toy, but bounces too hard and lands on Tom, who he inadvertently wakes up. Tom snarls and just before he can eat Jerry, the quick-thinking mouse grabs a nearby "Do Not Open 'Til Xmas" sticker and slaps it on Tom's mouth.
Various toys come to Jerry's rescue as he dashes about. Mistletoe is his final refuge before he must escape to the outdoors just ahead of Tom's claws. Out in the snow he may become a mouse popcycle and unless Christmas peace can descend, Tom may be in for a nasty surprise too!
The Night Before Christmas is a one-reel animated cartoon lasting 8:38 minutes. It was nominated for the 1941 Academy Award but lost to the Mickey Mouse short film "Lend a Paw", making it the only Tom and Jerry cartoon to lose to a Disney film. This third cartoon uses what has become the basic "cat stalks mouse" premise, but also hints at a softening in Tom Cat's character: when Jerry is out in the freezing cold, Tom worries about him, indicating that the rivalry between them may not be entirely a fight to the death.
It should be noted that this cartoon is over 50 years old, and although the quality is very good, it is not up to today's standards as it was made for the older screens. This movie does however retain all of the charm that the modern cartoons lack nowadays and is a must for children and adults alike.
