Solid Serenade

Solid Serenade (1946) is a Tom and Jerry short you can watch online on iFILM, directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera for MGM. Tom ties up watchdog Spike and slips into the courtyard of the glamorous Toodles Galore with his double bass, ready to serenade her under the night sky.

The plan collapses the moment Jerry stirs. Eight minutes of slapstick built around one sustained joke — Tom's surprisingly committed musical performance, interrupted in increasingly painful ways. Stream Solid Serenade (1946) on iFILM.
