Professor Tom
Directed by Joseph Barbera, William Hanna
Produced by MGM Cartoon Studio
A lighthearted cartoon romp where Tom's attempt to teach a kitten the rules of cat-and-mouse chasing is gleefully undermined by Jerry's mischief.
Tom, complete with mortarboard, is teaching a kitten the basics: "cats chase mice." But Jerry keeps subverting this lesson at every opportunity.
