Tom and Jerry

Little Quacker is a 1950 American one-reel animated cartoon directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and produced by Fred Quimby. It is the 47th Tom and Jerry short. In the 1950s, it was the first Tom and Jerry short to be released. Quacker, the duckling who would go on to appear in other books, makes his debut in Little Quacker. He appeared in seven more shorts, making him one of the series' most durable supporting characters. (Uncredited) Red Coffee provided the voices of Quacker and his parents (who make their sole speaking appearance in this animation), as well as a single WAH WAH! remark by Tom, however the voice has been mistaken for Clarence Nash's, who was better known as the voice of Donald Duck. cartoon cat

Plot

A mother duck goes for a swim on a farm, leaving an egg in her nest behind. Tom, on the other hand, deftly reaches inside the nest and removes the egg to be cooked. He returns to his kitchen and sets a frying pan on the stove. When Tom cracks the egg open, however, all he gets is Quacker, a duckling, rather not the albumen and yolk.  Tom, not to be deterred, chooses to prepare roast duck instead. But he needs Quacker's 'cooperation'(!) to do so. Tom stuffs Quacker with bread to fatten him up, and while the duckling is distracted, Tom grabs a meat cleaver and attempts to chop Quacker up, but misses. Quacker flees into Jerry's mouse hole and into his bed, terrified (the shape beneath Jerry's sheet resembles a ringing bell). Jerry discovers Quacker, who informs him about Tom's attempted assassination. Quacker then returns to his hiding place beneath Jerry's bed, trembling in horror once more. tom and jerry tom & jerry Jerry cautiously emerges from his mouse hole, but Tom is swift and almost cuts him down with his meat cleaver. Quacker pulls on Jerry's legs, fearing he has been beheaded, only for the camera to draw away, revealing that Tom has only managed to grasp Jerry by the whiskers. Jerry is set free and receives his reward. Tom's tail is placed outside of the hole as a form of vengeance, and Tom, who has no idea what's going on, ends up severing his own tail. He yells in anguish and lashes out, chasing Jerry and Quacker Outside, Tom's attempts to slash at Jerry and Quacker only result in him getting flattened by collapsing buildings or posts (Resemble from Hatch Up Your Troubles). Later, while Quacker and Jerry search for his mother, Tom uses a duck call to attract Quacker's attention.
