Tom speaks, albeit briefly, in this short. His single line is "No!"
Tom uses the very latest stove, with the newest electric burners, as electricity was becoming the norm for mid century kitchens.
This short might have been inspired by experiments on the concept of imprinting, where baby animals form a bond with the first being they encounter. There are famous photos of ducklings following a scientist they perceive to be their mother.
The score for this cartoon was featured on the audio CD "Tom & Jerry & Tex Avery Too!".
