Production notes

This was the third of the "wraparounds," incorporating segments from earlier Tom and Jerry cartoons. These include "Cat Fishin'" (1947), "The Little Orphan" (1949) and "Kitty Foiled" (1948).

Spike, Tyke, Nibbles, Butch and the canary all make cameos in this short, making it the only Tom and Jerry cartoon in which Spike, Tyke and Nibbles appear simultaneously.

Songs: "Love That Pup" (Scott Bradley), "Here Comes the Sun" (Harry M. Woods-Arthur Freed), "The Trolley Song" (Hugh Martin-Ralph Blane)
