Tweekums This 'Tom and Jerry' short opens with Jerry awakening from a nightmare and finding a baby grey mouse abandoned outside his home. The accompanying note explains that the baby mouse is named Nibbles and that he likes milk... a lot of milk! Jerry has barely finished reading the note before Nibbles is head towards Tom's milk. It isn't long before Tom is chasing after the pair of them as Nibbles continues to try to get his milk. As usual the tables get turned and Tom ends up suffering at the hands of both mice; they don't get it all their own way though; Jerry gets hit by a frying pan and Nibbles gets his backside tanned with a fly swat.This was a fun short as Nibbles made a fun addition to the regular cast and there were plenty of amusing sight gags. Nothing too unexpected happens but one doesn't really expect that with Tom and Jerry... when it comes down to it the only question is 'how will Tom suffer this time?' There is one scene that may surprise modern viewers if they watch this in its uncensored form; Jerry and Nibbles use boot polish to make themselves look black then as they walk past him Jerry talks in the voice of Tom's black owner; not exactly politically correct so I wasn't surprised to learn that it is cut by many broadcasters!

BA_Harrison The Milky Waif introduces Tom and Jerry fans to a new character in the form of Nibbles, an impossibly cute little grey mouse in a diaper, who is left abandoned in a basket on Jerry's doorstep. Attached to Nibbles' basket is a note that says the wee little fella needs lots of milk, which means that Jerry must risk life and limb to raid Tom's bowl...Apart from the introduction of a new pal for Jerry, this is another unremarkable episode full of generic chase scenes and the usual violence one expects from the duo. It's fun for most of the running time, but is completely let down by a ridiculous ending which sees Jerry lose his temper and totally trash Tom the cat. This leads me to ask why Jerry has never blown his top before, since it obviously imbues him with supernatural strength.This one was a 6/10 up until the silly closing scene, which forced me to lower my rating to a 5.

Shawn Watson Jerry wakes from a nightmare by a knock at the door only to discover he's been made a surrogate daddy to a baby mouse called Tuffy. The attached note claims that Tuffy loves milk and Jerry must find a way to get him some. Tom has a big bowl full of it, but they'd only be asking for trouble if they were to go steal.The chase begins and it is rather funny, if a bit generic. I did notice moment of weird editing in a certain scene, but later found out that the version I saw was censored by the PC Police for containing a scene where Jerry and Tuffy disguise themselves as African Americans. I would say 'black men' but they ARE mouses. I do wish the overzealous censors would leave these harmless cartoons alone.This gripe aside, it was entertaining nonetheless. But the crappy custard pie jokes are beneath Tom and Jerry standards!

movieman_kev Featuring the first appearance of Tuffy (known in this short as Nibbles). After Jerry awakens from a nightmare, he finds a baby mouse at his door with a note asking him to care for it. Jerry then attempts to get milk for the infant much to Tom's chagrin. This is the first cartoon short that the Spotlight Collection DVD drops the ball with. Originally the two mice appeared in black face for a gag. But it's gone here in a misguided attempt at being overly PC and the short is worse of for it. That got on my nerves. This cartoon (minus the black face part) can be found on disc one of the Spotlight collection DVD of "Tom & Jerry" My Grade: A for the original; C for the bastardized DVD version
