The Night Before Christmas is a 1941 one-reel animated cartoon and is the 3rd Tom and Jerry short directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, produced by Fred Quimby and animated by Jack Zander, George Gordon, Irven Spence and Billie Littlejohn. As was the practice in original issues of MGM animated shorts at the time, only Hanna and Barbera are credited.
It was nominated for the 1941 Academy Award for Best Short Subject: Cartoons. It was released in theaters on 6 December 1941 by Metro-Goldwyn Mayer.
In a large house on Christmas Eve, the night before Christmas, nothing was stirring, not even a mouse...or so it seems at first. Jerry emerges from his hole and has to avoid a Christmas-themed mousetrap (already baited with a piece of cheese wrapped in a red ribbon) placed right by his hole. Jerry quickly heads for the Christmas presents.......
