Tom and Jerry cartoon

Tom and Jerry is an American animated media franchise that began in 1940 when William Hanna and Joseph Barbera created a series of comedic short films based on the characters Tom and Jerry. The series focuses on the competition between the namesake characters, a cat named Tom and a mouse named Jerry. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer is most well-known for producing 161 theatrical short films based on the series. In many of the shorts, there are also multiple recurring characters.

Even though they weren’t given names in their first theatrical short, Puss Gets the Boot (1940), both Tom (the cunning cat) and Jerry (the quick-witted mouse) were an instant hit with the audience. William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, two animators, worked for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and produced more than one hundred episodes (MGM). Several of these have been recognized with Academy Awards for being deemed the best animated short subject, including Yankee Doodle Mouse (1943), The Cat Concerto (1946), and Johann Mouse (1952). Jerry was able to thwart Tom’s attempts to catch him and continue to irritate him in the majority of the episodes, but there were a few instances in which Tom prevailed or in which the two of them worked together to defeat a common foe. The plot of the show was entirely driven by action sequences and comedic visuals; the characters hardly ever used any dialogue.

Following Hanna and Barbera’s departure from MGM, the series was restarted multiple times, the most notable of which occurred in the middle of the 1960s when renowned animator Chuck Jones was in charge. In subsequent iterations, certain aspects of the series were altered, and the level of violence was toned down. As a result of the shorts’ success on television, Hanna-Barbera, Inc., Hanna-parent Barbera’s company, purchased the rights to produce new Tom and Jerry cartoons designed specifically for the television medium and produced a total of 48 tales between the years 1975 and 1977. The show remained a mainstay on television for decades, despite the fact that racist or otherwise offensive material from the earlier episodes was typically altered or removed.

Tom and Jerry: The Movie made its debut in Europe in 1992 and then made its way to theaters in the United States the following year. Tom and Jerry Tales, a new television series that Warner Bros. debuted in 2006 and was closely modeled after the original theatrical shorts, was named after the characters Tom and Jerry. A combination of live action and animation, Tom and Jerry (2021) was an unexpected hit at the box office, earning more than $100 million in revenue around the world.

Between the years 1940 and 1958, Hanna and Barbera produced 114 Tom and Jerry shorts for MGM as part of the show’s initial run. [1] Throughout this time period, they were awarded seven Academy Awards for Best Animated Short Film, which tied them for first place with Walt Disney’s Silly Symphonies in terms of the most awards won in this category. Gene Deitch directed an additional 13 Tom and Jerry shorts for Rembrandt Films between the years 1961 and 1962 as part of MGM’s revival of the Tom and Jerry series following the closure of the MGM cartoon studio in 1957. After that, the Tom and Jerry short film series surpassed Looney Tunes as the most financially successful animated film franchise ever produced. After that, Chuck Jones collaborated with Sib Tower 12 Productions to create an additional 34 short films between the years 1963 and 1967. There are now a total of 164 short films thanks to the production of three more films—The Mansion Cat in 2001, The Karate Guard in 2005, and A Fundraising Adventure in 2014—bringing the total number of short films to 164.

There have been a number of spin-offs produced, such as the television series The Tom and Jerry Show (1975), The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show (1980–1982), Tom & Jerry Kids (1990–1993), Tom and Jerry Tales (2006–2008), and The Tom and Jerry Show (2014–2021). The original Tom and Jerry show ran from 1975 until 2021. Since the release of the first feature-length film based on the series, Tom and Jerry: The Movie, in 1992, a total of thirteen direct-to-video films have been produced since the year 2002, and a live-action/animated hybrid film is scheduled to be released in the year 2021. In 2019, just in time for Tom and Jerry’s 80th anniversary, a musical adaptation of the series, titled Tom and Jerry: Purr-Chance to Dream, made its debut in Japan.

Since the beginning of Boomerang, which was on April 1st, 2000, Tom and Jerry have been shown on the channel.

Plot

The cat (Tom) and the mouse have been sworn enemies for their entire lives, and the series chronicles their comedic battles against one another (Jerry). In most of the shorts, the story revolves around Tom and Jerry getting into fights with each other and causing mayhem and destruction in the process. Despite Tom’s clever strategies (whether they work or not), his determined and energetic mindset, his large size, and his exceptional overall intelligence, he rarely succeeds in getting the better of Jerry. This is primarily due to Jerry’s cunning abilities, luck, and his lack of tendencies in being a bit too reckless. Tom’s size and exceptional overall intelligence also work against him. However, on a number of occasions, they have demonstrated genuine friendship toward one another as well as concern for the other’s well-being. At other times, Tom and Jerry put their differences aside in order to work together toward a common objective. One example of this is when a baby gets away from an unwatchful babysitter, which prompts Tom and Jerry to go after the child and keep it out of harm’s way in the cartoons Busy Buddies and Tot Watchers, respectively. In spite of the fact that they are constantly attacking one another, they have always managed to save one another’s lives whenever their lives were truly in danger. The only exception to this is the story “The Two Mouseketeers,” which has an unusually morbid conclusion.

To kill Jerry, Tom may use axes, hammers, firearms, firecrackers, explosives, traps, or poison. The cartoons are known for having some of the most violent cartoon gags ever created for theatrical animation. On the other hand, Jerry’s methods of retaliation are significantly more violent, and they have a higher rate of success. These include slicing Tom in half, beheading him, shutting his head or fingers in a window or a door, stuffing Tom’s tail in a waffle iron or a mangle, kicking him into a refrigerator, getting him electrocuted, pounding him with a mace, club, or mallet, letting a tree [2] Although Tom and Jerry has been called an excessively violent show on numerous occasions, there is neither blood nor gore in any of the episodes. [3]: 42 [4]: 134

The shorts rely heavily on music for a variety of purposes, including highlighting the action, serving as a stand-in for more traditional sound effects, and infusing the scenes with feeling. Bradley often reprised and used contemporary pop songs, as well as songs from other films, including MGM films like The Wizard of Oz and Meet Me in St. Louis, which both starred Judy Garland in a leading role. Bradley also created intricate scores that combined elements of jazz, classical, and popular music.

Tom and Jerry hardly ever engage in conversation, which results in a general lack of dialogue in the show; however, the cast of supporting characters does not share this limitation, and Tom and Jerry occasionally use English in the show. Take, for instance, the fact that the cartoon character Mammy Two Shoes speaks in almost every single one in which she appears. The majority of Tom and Jerry’s vocal effects consist of their high-pitched laughs and screams that sound like they are gasping for air.

The boys, Tom and Jerry

Both Tom Cat and Jerry Mouse have their own main articles.
Tom is a domestic shorthair cat who is gray and white in coloration. In his first appearance, he was given the name “Jasper.” The name “Tom” can be used to refer to any male cat. Jerry (whose name is not explicitly mentioned in his debut appearance) is a small, brown house mouse who always lives in close proximity to Tom. He is portrayed as living a comfortable, or even pampered, life most of the time, but this is not always the case. Tom and Jerry are always seen together. Tom is unable to compete with Jerry’s wits despite the fact that he is much larger, more determined, and has a lot more energy. Jerry possesses surprising strength for his size, roughly equivalent to that of Tom, enabling him to lift items such as anvils with relative ease and withstand considerable impacts. It is quite rare for Tom to actually try to eat Jerry, as opposed to hurting or competing with him as usual in a more intimidating strategy to just taunt Jerry (even as revenge), and even to obtain a reward from a human (including his owner(s)/master(s)) for catching Jerry, or for generally doing his job greatly as a house cat. Although cats typically chase mice in order to eat them, it is quite rare for Tom to actually try to eat Jerry. In most cartoons, Jerry emerges victorious over Tom by the time the show comes to a close and “fades out.”

On the other hand, one might arrive at a different conclusion. On extremely rare occasions, Tom emerges victorious; this typically occurs when Jerry takes the initiative or when he forces Tom to go beyond his comfort zone. In the story “The Million Dollar Cat,” Jerry discovers that Tom will lose his recently acquired wealth if he causes pain or suffering to any animal, particularly mice. As a result, Jerry begins to torment Tom in an excessive manner, prompting Tom to respond in kind. In the book, “Timid Tabby,” Jerry is driven to insanity by Tom’s look-alike cousin. Sometimes, and usually ironically, they both end up losing. This is typically the result of Jerry’s most recent trap or attack on Tom backfiring on him or him missing something important. Jerry goes to the pet store and orders a shark in the cartoon Filet Meow by Chuck Jones so that he can scare Tom away from eating a goldfish. After that, Jerry gets frightened away by the shark as well. In the end, they don’t always end up being enemies; however, in this collection of tales, there is almost always something that happens at the very last second to prevent them from making peace. Snowbody Loves Me is a cartoon that features a happy resolution to the story.

Both of these characters exhibit sadistic tendencies, in the sense that they are just as likely to take pleasure in torturing one another, despite the fact that it is frequently a reaction to something that has provoked them. On the other hand, when one of the characters appears to be truly in mortal danger as a result of an unplanned situation or as a consequence of the actions of a third party, the other character will develop a conscience and save him. Every once in a while, they come together over a shared reaction to a traumatic event, and after that, their attacks on each other are more a form of playful competition than serious ones. They are more than capable of working together when the situation calls for it, which is typically against a third party who manages to torture and humiliate them both. Multiple shorts show the two getting along with minimal difficulty, and they are more than capable of working together when the situation calls for it. When something unexpected takes place, or when one of the characters comes to the conclusion that they no longer require the assistance of the other, this partnership is sometimes quickly forgotten. This is what happens in Posse Cat when they come to an agreement that Tom will share his reward dinner with Jerry in exchange for Jerry allowing himself to be caught, but then Tom backs out of the deal. On other occasions, Tom does in fact keep his promise to Jerry, and the partnerships do not immediately fall apart after the issue at hand has been resolved.

Tom has a history of having a string of different romantic partners. Toots, who first appears in Puss n’ Toots and refers to him as “Tommy” in The Mouse Comes to Dinner, is the protagonist’s first romantic interest. In addition to that, he has a thing for a feline character in The Zoot Cat who goes by the name Toots but looks nothing like the original Toots. Toodles Galore is Tom’s primary romantic interest throughout the cartoons, despite the fact that she is never seen speaking in any of the episodes.

His demise is never permanent, despite the fact that five of the shorts end with a depiction of him apparently passing away; in fact, he even reads about his own death in a flashback in Jerry’s Diary. In Mouse Trouble (after which he is seen in heaven), Yankee Doodle Mouse, and in Safety Second, he seems to die in explosions, while in The Two Mouseketeers, he is guillotined offscreen. Tom and Jerry are seen at the conclusion of the short film Blue Cat Blues sitting on railroad tracks with the intention of taking their own lives while the whistle of an approaching train can be heard in the background, suggesting that their deaths are drawing near.

Tom and Jerry chatting it up.

Even though there are a lot of side characters and supporting cast members who talk, Tom and Jerry hardly ever do it themselves. One episode that stands out as an exception to this rule is “The Lonesome Mouse,” in which they have several short conversations, primarily between Jerry and himself, in order to devise a plan to get Tom back into the house. Tom more frequently sings while he is trying to woo female cats; for instance, Tom sings Louis Jordan’s “Is You Is or Is You Ain’t My Baby” in the 1946 short film Solid Serenade. Tom also sings “Is You Is or Is You Ain’t My Baby” in the movie Tom and Jerry. In both that short and Zoot Cat, Tom attempts to woo female cats by imitating the popular leading man of the time, actor Charles Boyer, by speaking in a deep, heavily French-accented voice. In the final scene of “The Million Dollar Cat,” after Jerry has been provoked by the title character, the title character says, “Gee, I’m throwin’ away a million dollars… BUT I’M HAPPY!” In the video game Tom and Jerry: The Magic Ring, when Jerry is choosing the store to have his ring taken off of him, he repeatedly says “No, no, no, no, no.” In the movie “The Mouse Comes to Dinner,” Tom asks his girlfriend Toots, “Say, what’s cookin’?” while he is inadvertently sitting on a stove. Toots responds by saying, “You are, stupid.” An additional instance of speech can be found in the episodes Solid Serenade and The Framed Cat. In these episodes, Tom acts as a dog trainer and guides Spike through a few dog tricks. In the story “Puss Gets the Boot,” when Tom has him held by the tail, Jerry says a prayer for his life. In addition, Jerry has on multiple occasions mumbled something in Tom’s ear. Within the context of Love Me, Love My Mouse Jerry refers to Toots as “Mama.”

The majority of the squeaks, gasps, and other vocal effects for the pair were provided by co-director William Hanna. This includes the most well-known sound effects from the series, such as Tom’s leather-lunged scream (created by recording Hanna’s scream and eliminating the beginning and ending of the recording, leaving only the strongest part of the scream on the soundtrack) and Jerry’s nervous gulp.

The only other reasonably common vocalization made by Tom is when some external reference claims a certain scenario or eventuality to be impossible, which inevitably, ironically happens to thwart Tom’s plans – at which point, a bedraggled and battered Tom appears and says in a haunting, echoing voice “Don’t you believe it!”, which is a reference to the then-popular 1940s radio show Don’t You Believe It!

[5]

[6] Tom yells “Don’t you believe it!” after being beaten up by Jerry in both “Mouse Trouble” and “The Missing Mouse,” an exchange that occurs in both episodes. In the short film from 1946 titled “Trap Happy,” Tom hires a cat that is posing as a mouse exterminator. After several unsuccessful attempts to dispatch Jerry and suffering a lot of accidents in the process, the cat decides to change his profession to that of a cat exterminator by crossing out the word “Mouse” on his title and writing the word “CAT.” This results in Tom spelling out the word in front of him before reluctantly pointing at himself. In the short film “Blue Cat Blues,” which was released in 1956, Jerry, who was voiced by Paul Frees, gives a narration in the voiceover as they try to win back their girlfriends. During Jerry’s performance in the musical Anchors Aweigh, which was produced by MGM in 1945, Sara Berner provided the character’s voice. Tom and Jerry: The Movie is the first installment of the series—and to this day, the only one—in which the famous cat-and-mouse duo routinely speaks or can be understood by humans. Richard Kind provided the voice for Tom, and Dana Hill provided the voice for Jerry, in that particular movie.

Spike and Tyke

The primary article is titled Spike and Tyke (characters)
Spike is an enraged, vicious, but easily duped bulldog who tries to attack Tom for bothering him or his son Tyke while Tom is trying to catch Jerry. Spike is also known as “Killer” and “Butch” in some shorts. When Tom is trying to catch Jerry, he frequently has to deal with Spike (also known as “Killer” and “Butch” in some shorts). Spike was originally unnamed and mute (other than making howling and biting noises), and he attacked indiscriminately, not caring whether it was Tom or Jerry, though he usually attacked Tom. He also attacked without discrimination. In later cartoons, Spike spoke quite a bit, and his voice and expressions (performed initially by Billy Bletcher and then by Daws Butler) were modeled after those of the comedian Jimmy Durante. Throughout the years, Spike’s coat has gone from being gray to a tan with a creamy undertone. In the late 1940s, the character of Spike was altered slightly, and a spin-off theatrical series that lasted only a few seasons was spawned as a result of the introduction of Spike’s son Tyke (Spike and Tyke).

The majority of cartoons that feature Spike adhere to a certain theme. In most of these cartoons, Spike is attempting to complete some task (like building a dog house or sleeping), but Tom and Jerry’s antics prevent him from completing it. After that, Spike (presumably due to prejudice) singles out Tom as the perpetrator, and he threatens him that if it ever happens again, he will do “something horrible” to him (effectively forcing Tom to take the blame), while Jerry overhears; after that, Jerry will typically do anything he can to interrupt whatever Spike is doing, while Tom barely manages to stop him (usually getting injured in the process). Tom is forced to flee from Spike and ultimately loses (usually because Jerry frames Tom and Spike just doesn’t like Tom). In most cases, Jerry does eventually wreck whatever Spike is doing in spectacular fashion and then leaves Tom to take the blame for it. Off-screen, Spike does something to Tom, and by the end of the scene, Tom is typically shown to be hurt or in a precarious situation, while Jerry smugly snuggles up to Spike while remaining unharmed. Spike can be a source of annoyance for Tom at times (one example of this can be seen in the episode titled “That’s My Pup!,” in which Spike forces Tom to run up a tree every time his son barks, which ultimately results in Tom hanging Tyke from a flag pole). At one point, however, Tom is responsible for something that is to Spike’s advantage; in response, Spike vows that he will never again interfere, which prompts Jerry to flee the house in a panic and run off into the distance (in Hic-cup Pup). Spike is famous for his catchphrases, one of which is “Listen pussycat!” which he uses when he is trying to intimidate Tom. His other famous catchphrase is “That’s my boy!” which he typically uses when he is trying to encourage or congratulate his son.

It has been said that Tyke is an adorable, good-natured, happy, and lovable little puppy. Tyke is Spike’s son, but unlike his father, he is mute and can only communicate (mostly with his father) by growling, whimpering, yapping, and barking. He also wags his tail. Spike will always go above and beyond to provide care and comfort for his son, as well as to ensure that his son is protected from Tom. Even though they spend the majority of their time together sleeping or Spike instructing Tyke on the fundamentals of what it means to be a dog, Tyke adores his father, Spike, and Spike adores his son, Tyke. They get along great like friends. In the same way that Spike’s appearance has evolved over the years, Tyke’s has gone from being gray (with white paws) to a creamy tan. This was the first time that viewers were able to hear Tyke speak, as this was the first time that Tom & Jerry Kids was broadcast.

Butch and Toodles to you both Galore

Butch is a black alley cat who smokes cigars and also has the intention of eating Jerry. Tom faces him more often than any other opponent. However, in the majority of the shorts in which he appears, he is typically portrayed as competing with Tom for the attention of Toodles. Butch was also Tom’s friend, similar to how he is portrayed in certain cartoons, in which he is the leader of Tom’s alley cat companions, the majority of whom are Lightning, Topsy, and Meathead. In the majority of the shorts, Butch is the character who speaks the most.

Butch and Toodles first appeared in Hugh Harman’s short film The Alley Cat in 1941. However, they were ultimately incorporated into Tom and Jerry rather than continuing in their own series after that point.

Nibbles

Main article: Nibbles (Tom and Jerry)
Nibbles is a small mouse with a gray fur coat who frequently appears in shorts playing the role of an orphan mouse. He is a carefree individual who very rarely understands the danger of the situation. He simply follows instructions the best he can, both to Jerry’s command and to his own innocent understanding of the situation. He is unaware of the potential consequences of his actions. This can lead to results such as “getting the cheese” by simply asking Tom to pick it up for him rather than following Jerry’s example of outmaneuvering and sneaking around Tom. This is preferable to Jerry’s strategy of trying to outmaneuver and sneak around Tom. Nibbles has proven to be a valuable ally to Jerry in their many battles against Tom, including serving as the second Mouseketeer. In all of his roles as a Mouseketeer, he is given speaking parts, and his accent is typically very high-pitched and French-sounding. However, during a scene in which he saved Robin Hood, his voice took on a more aggressive, cockney-accented, and gruff tone.

Mammy Two Shoes

The primary article is titled Mammy Two Shoes.
Mammy Two Shoes is a stocky black woman in her middle years named Mammy Two Shoes who is frequently forced to deal with the chaos caused by the show’s main characters. She is frequently depicted as Tom’s owner, and character actress Lillian Randolph lends her voice to the character. In Saturday Evening Puss, her face appeared only once, and only for a very brief moment. Since Mammy’s character is a mammy archetype, which had been protested as racist by the NAACP and other civil rights groups since the 1940s, her appearances in later television showings have frequently been edited out, dubbed, or re-animated as a slim white woman. This is due to the fact that Mammy’s character is a mammy archetype. [7] [8] She was mostly restored in the DVD releases of the cartoons, and an introduction by Whoopi Goldberg can be found on the Tom and Jerry Spotlight Collection: Vol. 2 DVD set explaining the significance of having African-American representation in the cartoon series, regardless of how stereotypical it may be.
