Safety Second
0 views
It’s Independence Day, and Jerry’s little nephew, Nibbles, wants to celebrate with fireworks, while Jerry reminds him to “keep it safe and sane.” Initially, this backfires against Jerry, as his attempts to dispose of the firecrackers Nibbles lights explode in his face, but ultimately, Nibbles saves Jerry from Tom with the usual cartoon uses of black powder.
★★★☆☆
Curator’s rating
Jerry as the responsible guardian and Tuffy as the small anarchist with a box of fireworks. Tuffy is at his best here — the joke is that he is completely without fear or judgement, and Jerry's attempts to impose safety rules on him are doomed from the first frame.
The entire short is built on children playing with fireworks and explosives.
