What happens

The Midnight Snack is a Tom and Jerry cartoon released on July 19, 1941. It is the second of the Tom and Jerry films, returning to the basic premise of the previous film, Puss Gets the Boot, following that cartoon's Academy Awards nomination. This cartoon features the second appearance of Tom and Jerry, and is the first in which the characters are given their familiar names; in the first cartoon, Puss Gets the Boot has the cat named Jasper, and the unnamed mouse.
