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.

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

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!!

More of an dramatic picture if anything, this first of the post Quimby production era begins as the the baby duck's egg rolls to Tom and the cat hatches the egg. The baby duckling (named Quackers) adopts Tom as his mother. Even though Jerry tries to warn the duck, by showing him an picture book of an mother duck and duckling on one side, and the mother cat and kitten on the next page. Meanwhile, Tom tries to cook the duckling various times. Yet every time, Jerry saves the duckling from being cooked. Eventually, the duckling realized the truth and decides to cook himself and yet, still tells Tom that he still loves him. In an surprise move, Tom cries NO! and saves the duckling just in time and tears are seen coming from Tom's face. Meanwhile, Jerry, after freeing himself from the pan that Tom dumped in the well, couldn't believe his eyes. As both Tom and Quackers are seen at an nearby lake quacking at each other. The duckling gets the last word by telling the audience that Tom is his mommy. I though the picture was good for it's dramatic scenes but for comedy, not so much. I still recommend it only for it's dramatic parts and the ending.I give it an 7 out of 10.
