The Night Before Christmas
Directed by William Hanna, Joseph Barbera
Produced by MGM Cartoon Studio, Rudolf Ising Productions
A cheerful, slapstick Christmas romp centered on Tom and Jerry's playful chaos amid holiday warmth and festive cheer.
It's snowy and cold outside, and warm inside where Jerry squeezes past a mousetrap to cavort under a present-laden Christmas tree. Mistaking the sleeping Tom for a plush toy, Jerry wakes him and a mad chase ensues.
