I've never been a big fan of Quackers the duck, but here he outdoes himself, being much more irritating than usual.Quackers arrives at Tom and Jerry's house in an egg delivered by the Easter Bunny and proceeds to swim in just about anything that will hold water—the fish tank, Tom's bowl, the bath, the sink and the shower—all the while wishing the cat and mouse a Happy Easter. Naturally, this quickly gets on their nerves, so they try to ditch the duck at the local park, but somehow he finds his way back
with four other equally obnoxious ducklings.Not only is this cartoon very annoying thanks to the little feathered fellow and his friends, but it also features some truly gaudy animation that makes me think that the artists responsible were colour blind.

The Easter Bunny delivers a gift to Tom and Jerry one Easter morning - a brightly-colored egg. The two adversaries fight over it, until it hatches on Tom's head. It turns to be "Little Quackers," a tiny yellow duck who has been in a handful of other Tom and Jerry cartoons.Here, the little guy has two sentences he repeats over and over: "Happy Easter" and "Oh, boy!" He says the latter each time he sees a "swimming pool" such as Tom's milk dish, or the household aquarium. the water cooler, the bat tub, etc.Neither Tom nor Jerry are thrilled with this little duck, and they follow him around, get wet a number of times and try to get rid of the duck. They come up with a good plan, but the duck has the last laugh at the end, which is cute. It's refreshing to see Tom and Jerry on the same page, for a change. Overall, not a lot of yuks but a very charming cartoon and definitely recommended.

This was the last of the Hanna-Barbera Tom and Jerry shorts.Out of an Easter egg pops a familiar cute little duckling who makes a nuisance of himself (herself?) and Tom and Jerry join forces to get rid of the pest.The story-line is not bad, although it is not a typical Tom and Jerry and Jerry seems to be acting out of character. The animation, however, is not as good as earlier Tom and Jerry cartoons. The backgrounds in particular are sparse.I suspect that this was done on a very low budget. Not a good way to end an era, but still far better than the later revivals of the franchise.

This is one of the few shorts in which Tom and Jerry were actually friends instead of enemies. They both get a surprising Easter present: A duck! Both try to help the cute little baby duck live in water. Eventually, all succeed.
