"Snowbody Loves Me" is a 1964 Tom and Jerry cartoon directed by Chuck Jones. The cartoon contains much music arranged from familiar Chopin pieces; notably, the Revolutionary Étude; the Grande Valse Brillante in E-flat major; and the Fantaisie-Impromptu.

Plot

The title cards are shown as Jerry, out in the cold Swiss Alps, is caught up in a snowball and rolls all the way into a pillar. The inclement and wintry weather was also summed-up in an arrangement of Frédéric Chopin's "Revolutionary Étude" played as Jerry rolls down the steep, snowy mountain.

Jerry rolls himself around on the ground to warm himself up until he runs into another pillar and spots a sign for a cheese shop. Jerry then draws two eyes and a mouth and, when he sees the cheeses, shows a grin. He raps on the door and wakes up Tom, who promptly opens the door, only to find no one there. He walks out into the cold; however, Jerry sneaked in under the cat and now shuts the door closed on Tom. The tables are now turned.

Tom soon starts chattering and does everything he can to relieve it. Tom then peeks through the window and sees Jerry making a fire. His grin is invidious. He attempts to enter through the chimney, but Jerry happened 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. The camera cuts for a second to Tom's fall from a duct and then returns to the puzzled Jerry.

Jerry surveys the large array of cheeses and walks in the air towards a large wheel of Emmentaler. 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.

Jerry starts to eat the "Emmentaler" and "yodel"s as the camera cuts to different areas of the wheel. Tom hears and sees Jerry through the holes and pumps out the mouse with a fireplace blower, but he falls back in before Tom can grab him. The cat tries this again and again 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 blower, which causes the cheese to burst. Tom recovers form the storm to see much of the cheese gone and Jerry with a cheese-tutu. Jerry walks out, and seeing the tutu, does a brief dance. Tom claps as he approaches the mouse and then smacks Jerry between his paws, stunning the mouse and drops him outside in the snow. Most of the scene was accompanied in the background with music culled from an arrangement of Chopin's "Fantaisie-Impromptu," however there was a brief inclusion of Chopin's "Prélude No. 20" as the anvil is about to be dropped.

Tom goes back to sleep, but his guilty conscience gets the better of him. Fearing Jerry is frozen solid, he rushes outside, and brings the rigid mouse inside. Wrapped in a warm blanket, Tom revives Jerry with a tablespoon of 150-proof Schnapps. Jerry wakes up and jumps into a pile of dolls and puts on a Swiss outfit. Tom takes to a piano, while Jerry happily dances around.

Notes

*The idea of Tom rescuing Jerry from a blizzard was borrowed from "The Night Before Christmas".
*The final scene is reminiscent of "Johann Mouse", in which Tom plays piano for the emperor while Jerry waltzes.
*The scene where Tom crawls down the chimney is similar to the chimney scene in "Dr. Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas", also produced by Chuck Jones.
