Solid Serenade is a 1946 one-reel animated cartoon and is the 26th Tom and Jerry short, produced in Technicolor and released to theatres on August 31, 1946 by Metro-Goldwyn Mayer.

[1] It was produced by Fred Quimby, directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, and the musical supervision was by Scott Bradley.

Tom then uses the cello like a pogo stick to jump his way over to the window, stopping to flick Spike's nose along the way.

Tom performs "Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby" to Toodles, which wakes Jerry, who was sleeping inside his mousehole (located in a mail box).

The camera goes back inside Jerry's mousehole, whose stuff is messed up and broken by the vibration.

Having had enough, Jerry throws off his nightcap, goes out of the mousehole to the kitchen and decides to get revenge by stuffing an iron into a pie which he then hurls at Tom through an open window; the cat is angered, but continues with a few more bars.

Tom then barely avoids getting his tail bitten and hides behind a wall, holding a brick up ready to attack.

Knowing he is in trouble, Tom tricks Spike into believing the board is a stick by playing "fetch".

Animation historian Michael Barrier wrote that Tom's appearance stabilized by the time of Solid Serenade, giving him a more streamlined and less inconsistent look.
