 Hatch Up Your Troubles
comment
Hatch Up Your Troubles is a 1949 animated short film (7 minutes) directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.It's a Tom and Jerry short. This one starts out with neither the cat nor the mouse but instead a mama woodpecker sitting on her egg. The mother leaves the nest to get food and naturally that is the precise moment where the egg hatches. The egg falls out of the nest and through some impressive good luck rolls right into Jerry's Mouse Hole. Jerry pulls the egg shell off and out comes a baby woodpecker with pecking skills that would put Woody Woodpecker to shame, calling him "mama!". Jerry finds the presence of the phenomenally destructive woodpecker chick inconvenient, but the woodpecker won't leave him. Eventually Tom notices the woodpecker chick and then both Jerry and the woodpecker have to save each other.Received a near-identical remake in 1955 named "The Egg and Jerry".

Damsel out of Distress: A gender-swapped example; Tom ties up the woodpecker chick, but he manages to get free himself.

I Want My Mommy!: Played with. While being chased by Tom, the woodpecker chick calls out out for his "mother", who he incorrectly thought was Jerry.

Pint-Sized Powerhouse: The newborn chick can just annihilate wood. In one scene Tom flings a wooden rod at them like a spear and the chick destroys it in mid-air. Tom is defeated in the end when the baby woodpecker chops down a telephone pole so it falls on him.

Forced to Watch: Tom tries making the baby woodpecker watch him axe Jerry (who he thought was his mother), as he ties the chick up to a pole that was in the vicinity of the event.

Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: You wouldn't think the mama woodpecker would need any since she was sitting on an egg, but she still has an apron.

Imprinting: After seeing Jerry, the baby woodpecker calls Jerry "mama". He starts following him everywhere and refuses to go back to his nest. Finally at the end when the mama woodpecker shows up, the baby changes his allegiance.

Eye Pop: After thinking the baby woodpecker returned to its nest, a shocked Jerry's peepers stretch far from their sockets when he finds the baby right behind him inside his Mouse Hole.

Hammered into the Ground: Played for Laughs; what causes Tom's defeat is a telephone poll falling on him, which drives him into the ground.

Fluffy Dry Cat: Feather-equivalent. When Tom pours lemonade on the baby woodpecker, the latter dries himself up, which greatly puffs up his feathers.

Low Clearance: Played for Laughs. As Tom is chasing after the baby woodpecker at top speed, Jerry sets out a rake at his neck level and the cat crashes right into it.
