Synopsis by Hal Erickson
First flooding the kitchen, then using refrigerator coils to freeze the water, Jerry creates a perfect ice-skating rink for himself and his diapered nephew Tuffy. Using gelatin molds to create colorful light patterns, the two mice merrily skate the night away to the tune of the "Sleeping Beauty Waltz". Unfortunately, Tom shows up to spoil the fun, donning a pair of skates and giving chase. But just as he always does on dry, solid ground, Jerry ends up gaining the upper hand--or is it the upper foot? This is one of the last "Tom & Jerry" cartoons to be released "flat"; most subsequent efforts were filmed in CinemaScope.
