Tom und ich und Nibbelchen

Despite winning an Oscar the PC Brigade still managed to have this short censored to keep us sheltered people in the 21st century safe from whatever material was appropriate in 1948.

Jerry babysits little Nibbles for Thanksgiving, trouble is the baby mouse likes to eat a bit too much, and after they help themselves to Tom's milk a small war begins with Nibbles and Jerry dressed as settlers and Tom dressed as an Native American. The dinner table (set for guests unknown) is their battleground and the cutlery are their weapons.

The cuts made to this cartoon are very noticeable, but it doesn't distract too much from the overall enjoyment.

Jerry gets a little orphan mouse named Nibbles for Thanksgiving dinner. The problem is Nibbles LOVES to eat and Jerry has no food. So him and Nibbles have to sneak around to get food without Tom getting them.

I'm no big fan of Tom & Jerry cartoons. I find the cartoon violence in most of their shorts way TOO violent. Also I happen to love cats and Tom is always the one being hurt. Still I do like this one. It's just beautiful to watch with bright strong colors and the violence has been toned down (a little). Also the views of the huge Thanksgiving meal set out for the humans are actually mouth-watering:) And Nibbles isn't TOO cutesy. Fast and funny. Recommended.

Every year around the holiday of thanks I always view this classic 8 min "Tom and Jerry" short from 1948 called "The Little Orphan" as it is so nice and fun to watch! Set at the "Thanksgiving" holiday little cute baby mouse Nibbles visits Jerry in his little mouse hole hideaway and given to the brown mouse is a note, as Nibbles has come to eat for the "Thanksgiving" holiday, and he's hungry and Jerry is out of food, so it starts with sips of Tom's milk. Then the chase is on between the three and the cartoon is full of action as the pace is fast as plenty of food is set at the "Thanksgiving" dinner table. Tom plays out the part of an Indian so well as he's a pretty sharp knife thrower only both mouses outsmart by bounces off of Jello and taking cover in melted butter. The episode ends on a fun and cute note as Nibbles for sure has one huge appetite as the turkey is all his he's one stuffed little mouse! Overall fun likeable "Thanksgiving" episode one to watch every year before turkey day!

This short features Nibbles as Jerry's nephew. In some other cartoons he's referred to by other names and is generally SUPER-cutesy, but in this case the little white mouse is a little more entertaining and less cloying. This time, the white mouse has an amazing appetite--eating a whole orange at once! Well, after getting him to cough it up, Jerry takes Nibbles for some real food. And, being Thanksgiving, they dress up in costumes and raid the humans' feast. But, these cute little mice dressed as pilgrims are foiled by Tom who appears in Indian head dress. And, the rest of the cartoon consists of Tom trying to kill the little rodents. An exceptional cartoon with some good laughs and excellent animation.

The Academy are doing right to give an OSCAR to this picture.

Jerry´s nephew is coming to Thanksgiving Day and he is very, very, very, very hungry !

The "little orphan" is fearless and eat all things on Thanksgiving-Day-Table. One of the best scenes is when Jerry and the orphan are Pilgrim Fathers and Tom is an Indian. There weapons are forks and spoons and all other things at home Tom & Jerry need to make a strong life to another.

There´s a remake of the film on the Sixties done by Chuck Jones with the same story and choreography, but in his own style. Look the Original !!!
