Synopsis

Safari photographers Tom and Jerry probe the jungle and encounter alligators, wild boars, eagles, man-eating flowers and leopards as they set out in search for the rare, never-before-photographed, fuzzy-feathered Pip Squaker bird. They manage to trap the shy bird with a carrot (a Pip Squaker's favorite food) and finally succeed in getting a shot. The Pip Squaker apparently likes what he sees, and wants another picture, but one is enough for our intrepid duo. Tom and Jerry receive a hero's welcome by the mayor, as well as a hefty reward for being the only ones to see and photograph the rare Pip Squaker, when suddenly, 1,000 Pip Squakers fly in from all parts of the world to have their picture taken!

Production notes

This is one of 7 New Tom & Jerry cartoons narrated by John Stephenson, who also voiced Tom & Jerry; others are "The Wacky World Of Sports," "The Tennis Menace," "The Super Cyclists," "Chickenrella," "The Great Motorboat Race," and the next, "The Supercape Caper."

In the scene where Tom & Jerry finally snaps a photo of The Pip Squaker, John Stephenson says, "You did it! The never-before fuzzy-feathered Pip Squaker has just been photographed!" Notice that he didn't say, "never-before photographed fuzzy-feathered Pip Squaker"!
