Jerry's Diary

Overhearing Uncle Dudley announcing on the radio that it's "Be Kind to Animals Week," Tom decides to make friends with Jerry. However, after reading some critical (yet true) passages of himself in Jerry's diary, Tom no longer feels warmly towards the little mouse.

Tom, Jerry

One of the episodes which Jerry doesn't get the upper hand.

This was the first of several "wrap-around" films, in which the story device becomes a showcase for highlights from earlier cartoons. Scenes are excerpted from "Tee for Two" (1945), "Mouse Trouble" (1944), "Solid Serenade" (1946) and "The Yankee Doodle Mouse" (1943).

The ending of this cartoon is reused in "Matinee Mouse" (1966).
