This is the first Tom and Jerry cartoon in which Nibbles and Jerry work together, two-on-one, as a team, against Tom. Plus, it was Nibbles' second appearance. His first was The Milky Waif.
Later versions of this cartoon have had a scene cut. The scene, where Nibbles fires a candle that lands on Tom's tail, which consequently turns him black, followed by Nibbles sending a champagne bottle careering towards a still-black Tom and sending him hurtling towards a cupboard has been cut completely from these expurgated versions.
As this short starts, Jerry is reading "Good Mousekeeping" magazine - a spoof of Good Housekeeping magazine and a similar title of another Tom and Jerry cartoon, Mouse Cleaning. The note on Nibbles' shirt reads: This is Nibbles, the little Orphan, you agreed to have as your guest for dinner on Thanksgiving Day Thank you, "Bide A Wee Mouse Home". PS: He's Always Hungry
