Pots and Pans is another Van Beuren cartoon that stars a couple of humans named Tom and Jerry, years before a certain cat-and-mouse team from MGM inherited those titles after the human ones disappeared. They run a train diner with their name on it. Many of the food have faces and move. They also sing with various customers along with the leading duo.
The story runs nine minutes and covers Superman’s adventures defeating a Godzilla-like monster that terrorizes the city.

An imaginative version of the old folktale, directed by Harry Bailey and John Foster. In this version of the story, Grandma’s got more bite than the wolf!
