Hatch Up Your Troubles

"Hatch Up Your Troubles" (1949) is an eight-minute Tom & Jerry short you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Joseph Barbera and William Hanna, it gives Jerry an unlikely ally: a baby woodpecker hatches right in his face and immediately decides the mouse must be Mom.

Tom moves in to correct that arrangement. The hatchling's beak turns out to be the hardest thing in the room, and every cat scheme ends in retreat. Eight minutes, not a frame wasted. Stream "Hatch Up Your Troubles" online on iFILM.
