Storyline

Did you know

Trivia
A subtle send up of 'canned' cartoon plots, as well as the secret agent/martial arts craze of the time.

Goofs
The coffee and cigarettes are removed neatly from the kit because they're "for the cartoonist." A moment later (when Tom, who's still in the kit, is showered with watermelon seeds), there are coffee stains drawn on the box where the cup formerly was.

Quotes
Narrator: Anyone can now enter the lucrative field of animated cartoons with the new Tom and Jerry Cartoon Kit. This kit contains everything needed for quiet, sophisticated humor--one mean, stupid cat; one sweet, lovable mouse; and assorted deadly weapons. The coffee and cigarettes are for the cartoonists.

Crazy credits
At the end, Jerry puts the lid back on the cartoon kit's box, which now contains an exhausted Tom, and bows. The lid reads, "The End--An MGM Cartoon."
