The Mouse Comes to Dinner

"The Mouse Comes to Dinner" (1945) is an eight-minute MGM cartoon you can watch online on iFILM. Tom plans a romantic dinner for Toots and puts Jerry to work as a serving boy. Jerry tolerates this — for about thirty seconds.

Directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, the short builds its gags one on top of the next as Tom's elaborate evening falls apart in real time. A crisp, well-timed episode from the Tom and Jerry series. Stream it online on iFILM.
