Made in 1951 but not released until 1953.
Included as a bonus with the 2005 Warner DVD of Billy Rose's Jumbo (1962).
The mid-century accents of the home where Tom and Jerry reside are carefully rendered. Wing back armchairs, skirted accents on living room furniture, gleaming kitchen with modern appliances.
Might have been an answer to the WB appearance of Sylvester and a boxing kangaroo, Hippety Hopper, in 1948, with just a passing nod to Disney for good measure.
Although Disney released "Dumbo" over a decade earlier, the popular pachyderm still influenced creative folk everywhere.
