Snowbody Loves Me is a 1964 Tom and Jerry cartoon directed by Chuck Jones.
Plot[]
Jerry is out in the cold Swiss Alps, caught up in a snowball and rolls all the way into a pillar as the title credits roll. Jerry rolls himself around as a side effect from being in the snowball until he runs into another pillar and sees a cheese shop. Jerry then peeks through the window and he sees the large array of cheeses inside. He raps on the door and wakes up Tom, who promptly opens the door, only to find no one there (at least, that's what he thinks). He walks out into the cold; however, Jerry sneaks in under the cat and the door closes on Tom, locking him outside. Tom soon gets cold and does everything he can to stay warm. Tom then peeks through the window and sees Jerry making a fire, leaving him infuriated. He tries to enter through the chimney, but Jerry happens to have chosen that moment to light the fire. Jerry hears Tom being thrown around, yelling in pain, and falling off the edge of the building. While Tom falls from a duct, leaving Jerry puzzled.
Jerry surveys the large array of cheeses and walks in the air towards a large wheel of Emmental cheese. He starts to dive in and out of the holes in the cheese as Tom manages to open the door. Only his tail remains unfrozen, and Tom uses it to push himself and to light a fire to defrost. Jerry starts to eat the Emmental and yodels. Tom hears and sees Jerry through the holes and pumps out the mouse with a fireplace Bellows, but he falls back in before Tom can grab him. The cat tries this some more before he comes up with another plan. He hammers corks into all of the holes (hitting Jerry on the head) and drops a giant weight on top of a giant bellows, which causes the cheese to burst and corks fly everywhere. Tom recovers from the storm to see much of the cheese gone and Jerry with a tutu made out of cheese. Jerry walks out, and seeing the tutu, does a brief dance. Tom applauds enthusiastically as he approaches the mouse and then smacks Jerry between his paws, stunning the mouse while laughing maniacally, then drops him outside in the snow. Tom tries to go back to sleep, but soon feels guilty. He imagines Jerry's spirit flying past him. Fearing Jerry is frozen solid, he rushes outside, and brings the frozen mouse inside with a change of heart. Wrapped in a warm blanket, Tom revives and saves Jerry with a tablespoon of 360-proof Schnapps. Jerry wakes up and jumps into a pile of dolls, putting on a Swiss-style outfit. Tom plays a piano, while Jerry happily dances around, and they both take a bow as the cartoon ends.
