This is a one shot cartoon done by MGM in the 1940s. There will be spoilers ahead:
The cartoon opens on a very cold, very scrawny wolf. Looking at him, I wondered which would finish him off, starvation or cold. His fire is out and the cupboard is bare save for a cobweb. There's a bit with a mouse trap, some cheese and a mouse who looks quite a bit like Jerry Mouse.
A little rabbit, showing more faith in common decency than common sense, comes wandering in from the cold and the wolf is delighted to have a meal on paws stroll in like manna from heaven. The rabbit is a cute, trusting soul and, naturally, worms his way into the wolf's heart (I understand why the wolf is starving, as his predatory instincts are horrible) and the wolf chases him off rather than eat him.
The wolf has an apparent change of heart and goes after the little rabbit. Cut to a cottage, lots of little rabbits and a worried mom who goes out to look for her lost son.
The ending is nice, however obvious and improbable, and this short is worth seeking out to see at least once. Recommended.
