Happy Go Ducky
Directed by Joseph Barbera, William Hanna
Produced by MGM Cartoon Studio
A lighthearted, slapstick-driven cartoon short about Tom and Jerry reluctantly caring for a mischievous duckling, built entirely on physical comedy and gentle chaos.
The Easter bunny brings an egg for Tom and Jerry that hatches into the little duckling. He keeps getting into water he shouldn't: the aquarium, water cooler, bathtub, sink, as the boys keep rescuing it. They try to give the duck back to the Easter bunny - no go. They leave it in the pond at the park and think they're home free, until the duckling brings his friends home.
