Bats What I Like About the South

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Bats What I Like About the South" is the tenth sub-episode of Tom and Jerry Tales.

[edit] Episode Summary

After collapsing a room in a haunted mansion, Tom assumes that Jerry is dead and feels terrible about what he did. Jerry is actually very much alive, but covered in white dust. He meets a bat that looks exactly like he does in white, except being a bat, he has wings. They decide to take advantage of their appearances and scare Tom.

[edit] Notes

• This is not the first time Jerry has covered himself in a white substance to get the best of Tom. In a classic short, he masquerades as a white mouse--by covering himself in shoe polish--and pretends to be a mouse that Tom had just heard about on the radio who had ingested an explosive and escaped from a lab.
• The bit with Tom punching the keys on a pipe organ to get Jerry out recalls a similar scene from "The Cat Concerto".
