Jerry, Jerry, Quite Contrary
0 views
Jerry keeps sleepwalking and doing violence to Tom. He realizes this and tries to keep awake, but fails. He catches himself a couple more times just as he’s about to do serious damage, but ultimately sends an anvil down a chimney, while Tom is tied to it and dragged through half the house.
★★★☆☆
Curator’s rating
A Chuck Jones short in which Jerry sleepwalks and assaults Tom without knowing it — a neat inversion, since the aggression is real but the intent is absent. Jones was consistently more interested than Hanna and Barbera in why these two behave as they do.
