BCDB: Cartoon Reviews: The Midnight Snack

Getting everything right in the second entry in a series isn't too shabby an achievement!!
The balance of the three characterizations is just right, and the story cements both Tom's personality as a lovable scoundrel & Jerry's as being a put-upon character who only eventually gets the upper hand. And forget about the early, "ugly" design of Tom--remember, it's characterization, story and comedy timing that count here.
Of course, when Tex Avery entered MGM, the series would be adopting many of his methods of freneticism and outrageousness......but when all's said & done, a cartoon like THIS is really ALL I NEED.
