Foreverisacastironmess My mum and I once rescued an orphaned duckling. I named it Ducken. It would sit in front of the fire. We gave it to one of those bird sanctuary places. Anyway-aww! This short is just too cute! I love it very much. Who ever couldn't? It's very brief, but so much fun it don't matter. For me all the laughter in this one comes from Quackers the duckling-or rather his hilarious and adorable voice, as provided by Red Coffey. There are several different opinions as to who does the voice, but that's what it says. I really love the humour of Quackers's homely attitude:"now you sit down, Momma, an gimme that spoon!" Three bits that make me laugh featuring him are when he indignantly refuses to believe who his mommy is and slams the book on Jerry, when Tom puts the little onions on his feet, and when he says goodnight to Tom just before he closes the oven door, and Tom pauses while he says it! Sometimes on things of this nature it's the little things that can make you laugh. All my favourites of this show have this particular look to them. Much more humorous than dramatic, although you would surely have to have a heart of stone not to feel a little pang at what the duck says just as he's about to dive into the pot. It's all very lighthearted. I suppose from an adult perspective certain things in this little yarn could be seen as being vaguely "dark". But no child would ever see it that way. The final line, which is also the title, always got a big laugh. The animation is colourful and as always lively and fun. It is only a mere six minutes long so there's not too much to talk about-but who cares about that, it's a classic. It's still as timeless and heartwarming as the day it was released. Fifty years have done little if anything to diminish the simple joy of That's My Mommy. Bye-bye.

TheLittleSongbird I love Tom and Jerry, and I enjoyed That's My Mommy. And yes, I like Little Quacker, he is very engaging and cute, not annoying like some people make him out to be. The cartoon is perhaps too short at only 6 minutes, but it moves very quickly and is very satisfying. The animation is stunning, and the music is a deft touch too. The sight gags are consistently funny, and are delivered thick and fast, but I was most impressed by the ending. And not in a bad way too, it was so unexpected and such a sweetly sentimental way to finish a Tom and Jerry cartoon. Tom is crafty, Jerry is a lot of fun and Little Quacker is really cute I think. Overall, a delightful cartoon, with just the right touch of the funny and the sweet. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) I was shocked and surprised by the negativity towards Jerry's friend the duck Little Quackers, voiced by a fellow named Red Coffey NOT Clarence Nash as people say. I thought he's a very cute character in the Tom & Jerry cartoons, despite a few faults (admittedly). This short is one of my favorite shorts with Little Quacker; also one of my favorite Tom & Jerry shorts in Cinescope too.In this short Little Quacker is a duckling that thinks that Tom it's he's mother after being hatched at Tom's feet, because Tom was the first thing he see after he hatched of course. But Tom was trying to make into a duck dinner, and Jerry was trying save the naive little duck. I love it when Tom actually saves Quacker from willingly becoming a duck dinner. With tears streaming down his face, Tom adopts the duckling as his own child - so cute!!

Antzy88 This is another Tom & Jerry cartoon that features the little yellow duckling. He hatches from an egg after ending up underneath the sleeping Tom, and thinks that Tom is his mother. Tom tries to eat the duckling, while Jerry tries to explain who its real mother is. This was the first cartoon William Hanna and Joseph Barbera produced as well as directed after their previous producer, Fred Quimby, retired from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Although the two's skill is still evident, somehow the 'feel' is a bit lacking in comparison to previous episodes. The items painted onto cels look a bit 'furred' around the edges, and are not as cleanly painted as before. The backgrounds are also not too great, and the story just does not have quite the same level of humour that had been attained previously.
