Jerry's Diary
2 views
The radio announces “Be Kind to Animals” day, so Tom gets Jerry flowers, chocolates, and a nice pie. Jerry isn’t home, but Tom spots his diary and starts reading it (an excuse to show old clips). In the process, he grows increasingly irate, and trashes the flowers, then the chocolates. Jerry returns, and Tom decides to give him the pie, in the face, of course (in fact, it plasters him all over the wall).
★★☆☆☆
Curator’s rating
A clip show: Tom reads Jerry's diary and the film becomes a compilation of earlier shorts. MGM made several of these to stretch budgets, and they are chiefly interesting now as evidence of which cartoons the studio itself considered the highlights of the series.
