Tom and Jerry/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • In "That's My Mommy," Quacker confuses Tom as his mother, despite Tom's efforts to eat him. When Quacker realizes this, he decides to throw himself into boiling water because his "mommy" wanted that. Despite this, Quacker says, "I still love you, Momma" and jumps into the water. It is at this point that Tom has a change of heart and saves Quacker from a boiling death. The two hug as Tom streams tears down his cheeks, and the cartoon ends with the two quacking at each other in a duck pond.
    • Made even more heartwarming by Tom, one-half of the greatest Silent duo in history, gives out a Big No before he saves Quacker.
  • The endings of "The Night Before Christmas" and "Snowbody Loves Me" Basically the same thing--Tom makes Jerry stay out in the cold, but rescues him from freezing to death.
    • There's an episode similar to those where, Tom kicks Jerry and a puppy Jerry had taken in out the house. During the night, a severe thunderstorm kicks up and Tom feels guilty for what he did, worrying that Jerry and the puppy could drown in the flood. He goes out to find them, only to be swept away by the flood waters. Jerry and the puppy (who were safe), find him and bring him back to care for him. When Tom wakes up, he then gives the puppy milk and the puppy calls all his friends to share with them. Tom (and Jerry) just looks on happily.
  • There's an episode where a woodpecker hatches and believes Jerry is its mother (because its egg rolled into Jerry's home). The bird irritates Jerry and he eventually kicks it out, but when Tom goes after it, Jerry saves it multiple times. Then, when its real mother comes to get it, it flies away with her, leaving Jerry sad until the woodpecker returns to give Jerry a kiss and Jerry then happily waves goodbye. Aww.
  • At the end of Heavenly Puss, the moment Tom hugs and kisses a confused Jerry is just too sweet (and kind of funny).
  • In "Tom and Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes", after Jerry is grapped by the henchmen, Tom springs into action to save him.
