Designs on Jerry
Directed by Joseph Barbera, William Hanna
Produced by MGM Cartoon Studio
A gleefully inventive Tom and Jerry cartoon that celebrates mechanical ingenuity and slapstick chaos with infectious energy and charm.
Tom designs a better mousetrap that would have made Rube Goldberg jealous. While he sleeps, the mouse that Tom drew wakes Jerry and they get chased by the cat Tom drew. As Tom awakes, they make a strategic alteration to the design.
