The Milky Waif (1946) - Tom and Jerry Theatrical Cartoon Series

I'd have given this one a higher grade if it hadn't been edited to take out the "blackface" scene in the 40-cartoon DVD set issued by Warner Brothers. Anyway, Nibbles is so cute, and the finale of this one is amazing to watch. Still good, but IMHO it would've been better to have left well enough alone.

This is perhaps the "cream" of the series cuter entries--Jerry's constant stress in guarding little Nibbles is what holds the film together. (Actually, as the film progresses we find that Nibbles is no "innocent" infant himself!)
The fateful spanking climax is a masterstoke.
