Tom and Jerry Cartoons under this category
Quacker is deeply distraught after reading The Ugly Duckling. The duckling in the book looks just like Quacker, and convinced that he too is ugly, has thoughts of suicide. He approaches a sleeping Tom and wakes him up, asking to be eaten. Tom is only too happy to oblige, but is prevented from successfully eating the duckling, owing to Jerry’s interventions.
Jerry tries to raise Quacker’s spirits by giving him a beauty make-over, but when Tom tries to catch and eat Quacker, is horrified at the duckling’s appearance and runs off as quickly as he can, straight through a brick wall.
Just when Quacker is at his lowest ebb, reduced to hiding under a paper bag, he meets a female duck who thinks that he is cute. Quacker happily takes her arm, and the two ducklings waddle off together into the sunset.
