Poor Tom: as if one mouse giving him hassle wasn't enough, he now has to deal with Jerry's ward, little orphan Nibbles, whose insatiable hunger leads into the house where a Thanksgiving dinner awaits.
Little Nibbles is a little overly cutesy for my liking, but the fact that he is always hungry does lead to some satisfyingly sadistic violence with the dinner table as battleground, including Tom getting a fork rammed into his butt and Jerry almost being decapitated when he runs into a knife. It's all a little predictable perhaps, and doesn't really do anything that hasn't been done before, but by the end of the cartoon, a satisfying amount of chaos has ensued.
