A mouse named Jerry as the "Mama" to a baby woodpecker! How charming!, 15 May 2001
9/10
Author: Robert Reynolds (minniemato@hotmail.com) from Tucson AZ

This Tom and Jerry, nominated for an Oscar, concerns an egg, Jerry mouse and the joys and headaches of unexpected "motherhood" for a very surprised mouse when the egg hatches into a baby woodpecker. Tom gets involved and typical sight gags (most rather painful to Tom from the looks of things) abound with great rapidity, resulting in an enjoyable time for all, except for Tom, of course. Recommended.
