Contents. Plot The series features comic fights between an iconic set of adversaries, a house cat (Tom) and a mouse (Jerry). The plots of each short usually center on Tom's numerous attempts to capture Jerry and the mayhem and destruction that follows. Tom rarely succeeds in catching Jerry, mainly because of Jerry's cleverness, cunning abilities, and luck. However, there are also several instances within the cartoons where they display genuine friendship and concern for each other's well-being. At other times, the pair set aside their rivalry in order to pursue a common goal, such as when a baby escaped the watch of a negligent babysitter, causing Tom and Jerry to pursue the baby and keep it away from danger.

And despite their endless attacks on one another, they’ve saved each other’s lives every time they were truly in danger. The cartoons are known for some of the most violent cartoon gags ever devised in theatrical animation such as Tom using everything from axes, hammers, firearms, firecrackers, explosives, traps and poison to kill Jerry. On the other hand, Jerry's methods of retaliation are far more violent due to their frequent success, including slicing Tom in half, decapitating him, shutting his head or fingers in a window or a door, stuffing Tom's tail in a or a, kicking him into a refrigerator, getting him electrocuted, pounding him with a, club or, letting a tree or electric pole drive him into the ground, sticking matches into his feet and lighting them, tying him to a firework and setting it off, and so on. Because of this, Tom and Jerry has often been criticized as excessively violent. Despite the frequent violence, there is no blood or gore in any scene.: 42: 134 Music plays a very important part in the shorts, emphasizing the action, filling in for traditional sound effects, and lending emotion to the scenes. Musical director created complex scores that combined elements of, classical, and pop music; Bradley often reprised contemporary pop songs, as well as songs from MGM films, including and, which both starred in a leading role. Generally, there is little dialogue as Tom and Jerry almost never speak; however, minor characters are not similarly limited, and the two lead characters are able to speak English on rare occasions and are thus not mute.

For example, the character has lines in nearly every cartoon in which she appears. Most of the vocal effects used for Tom and Jerry are their high-pitched laughs and gasping screams. This section does not any.

( April 2017) Before 1954, all Tom and Jerry cartoons were produced in the standard and format; in 1954 and 1955, some of the output was dually produced in dual versions: one Academy-ratio negative composed for a flat (1.75:1) format and one shot in the process. From 1955 until the close of the MGM cartoon studio a year later, all Tom and Jerry cartoons were produced in CinemaScope, some even had their soundtracks recorded in.

All of the Hanna and Barbera cartoons were shot as successive color exposure negatives in; the 1960s entries were done in. The 1960s entries also returned to the standard Academy ratio and format, too. The 2005 short was also filmed in the standard Academy ratio and format. Main articles: and (named 'Jasper' in his debut appearance) is a grey and white.

('Tom' is a generic name for a male cat.) He is usually but not always, portrayed as living a comfortable, or even pampered life, while (named 'Jinx' in his debut appearance) is a small, brown, who always lives in close proximity to Tom. Despite being very energetic, determined and much larger, Tom is no match for Jerry's wits. Jerry also possesses surprising strength for his size, approximately the equivalent of Tom's, lifting items such as anvils with relative ease and withstanding considerable impacts. Although cats typically chase mice to eat them, it is quite rare for Tom to actually try to eat Jerry.

Most of his attempts are just to torment or humiliate Jerry, sometimes in revenge, and sometimes to obtain a reward from a human for catching Jerry. By the final 'fade-out' of each cartoon, Jerry usually emerges triumphant, while Tom is shown as the loser. However, other results may be reached. On rare occasions, Tom triumphs, usually when Jerry becomes the aggressor or he pushes Tom a little too far. In Jerry learns that Tom will lose his newly acquired wealth if he harms any animal, especially mice; he then torments Tom a little too much until he retaliates. In Tom's look-alike cousin pushes Jerry over the edge.

Occasionally and usually ironically, they both lose, usually because Jerry's last trap or attack on Tom backfires on him or he overlooks something. In Chuck Jones', Jerry orders a shark from the pet store to scare Tom away from eating a goldfish. Afterwards, the shark scares Jerry away as well. Finally, they occasionally end up being friends, although within this set of stories, there is often a last minute event that ruins the truce. One cartoon that has a friendly ending is. Both characters display tendencies, in that they are equally likely to take pleasure in tormenting each other, although it is often in response to a triggering event.

However, when one character appears to truly be in mortal danger from an unplanned situation or due to actions by a third party, the other will develop a conscience and save him. Occasionally, they bond over a mutual sentiment towards an unpleasant experience and their attacking each other is more play than serious attacks. 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, usually against a third party who manages to and humiliate them both. Sometimes this partnership is forgotten quickly when an unexpected event happens, or when one character feels that the other is no longer necessary. This is the case in, when they agree that Jerry will allow himself to be caught if Tom agrees to share his reward dinner, but Tom then reneges.

Other times however, Tom does keep his promise to Jerry and the partnerships are not quickly dissolved after the problem is solved. Tom changes his love interest many times. The first love interest is Toots who appears in, and calls him 'Tommy' in. He is also interested in a cat called Toots in although she has a different appearance to the original Toots. The most frequent love interest of Tom's is, who never has any dialogue in the cartoons. Despite five shorts ending with a depiction of Tom's apparent death, his demise is never permanent; he even reads about his own death in a flashback in.

He appears to die in explosions in (after which he is seen in ), and in, while in he is guillotined offscreen. The short ends with both Tom and Jerry sitting on the railroad tracks with the intent of while the whistle of an oncoming train is heard foreshadowing their imminent death. Tom and Jerry speaking Although many supporting and minor characters speak, rarely do Tom and Jerry so themselves. Tom, most famously, sings while wooing female cats; for example, Tom sings 's ' in the 1946 short. In that one as well as, Tom, when romancing a female cat, woos her in a French-accented voice similar to that of screen actor. At the end of after beginning to antagonize Jerry he says, 'Gee, I'm throwin' away a million dollars. BUT I'M HAPPY!'

In, Jerry says, 'No, no, no, no, no,' when choosing the shop to remove his ring. In Tom speaks to his girlfriend Toots while inadvertently sitting on a stove: 'Say, what's cookin'?' , to which Toots replies 'You are, stupid.' Another instance of speech comes in and, where Tom directs Spike through a few dog tricks in a dog-trainer manner.

Co-director William Hanna provided most of the squeaks, gasps, and other vocal effects for the pair, including the most famous sound effects from the series, 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 is made by Tom 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!'

, a reference to the then-popular 1940s radio show Don't You Believe It. In, Tom says 'Don't you believe it!'

After being beaten up by Jerry (this also happens in ). In the 1946 short, Tom hires a disguised as a mouse exterminator who, after several failed attempts to dispatch Jerry, changes profession to Cat exterminator by crossing out the 'Mouse' on his title and writing 'Cat', resulting in Tom spelling out the word out loud before reluctantly pointing at himself. One short, 1956's, is narrated by Jerry in (voiced by ) as they try to win back their ladyfriends.

Both Tom and Jerry speak more than once in the 1943 short, while Jerry was voiced by during his appearance in the 1945 MGM musical. Is the first (and so far only) installment of the series where the famous cat-and-mouse duo regularly speak. In that movie, Tom was voiced by, and Jerry was voiced.

Spike and Tyke. Main article: In his attempts to catch Jerry, Tom often has to deal with Spike (known as 'Killer' and 'Butch' in some shorts), an angry, vicious but easily duped who tries to attack Tom for bothering him or his son Tyke while trying to get Jerry.

Originally, Spike was unnamed and mute (aside from howls and biting noises) as well as attacking indiscriminately, not caring whether it was Tom or Jerry though usually attacking Tom. In later cartoons, Spike spoke often, using a voice and expressions (performed by and later ) modeled after comedian. Spike's coat has altered throughout the years between grey and creamy tan. The addition of Spike's son Tyke in the late 1940s led to both a slight softening of Spike's character and a short-lived spin-off theatrical series ( ). Most cartoons with Spike in it have a system; usually Spike is trying to accomplish something (such as building a dog house or sleeping) when Tom and Jerry's antics stop him from doing it.

Spike then (presumably due to prejudice) singles out Tom as the culprit and 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; afterwards Jerry usually does anything he can to interrupt whatever Spike is doing while Tom barely manages to stop him (usually getting injured in the process). Usually Jerry does eventually wreck whatever Spike is doing in spectacular fashion and leaving Tom to take the blame, forcing him to flee from Spike and inevitably lose (usually due to the fact that Tom is usually framed by Jerry and that Spike just doesn't like Tom). Off-screen, Spike does something to Tom and finally Tom is generally shown injured or in a bad situation while Jerry smugly cuddles up to Spike unscathed. Tom sometimes can get irritated with Spike on some occasions (example is in, when Spike forced Tom to run up a tree every time his son barked, causing Tom to hang Tyke on a flag pole). At least once however, Tom does something that benefits Spike, who promises not to interfere ever again; causing Jerry to frantically leave the house and run into the distance (in ). Spike is well known for his famous ' Listen pussycat!'

Catchphrase when he threatens Tom, his other famous catchphrase is ' That's my boy!' Normally said when he supports or congratulates his son.

Tyke is described as a cute, sweet looking, happy and a lovable puppy. He is Spike's son, but unlike Spike, Tyke does not speak and only communicates (mostly towards his father) by barking, yapping, wagging his tail, whimpering and growling. Tyke's father Spike would always go out of his way to care and comfort his son and make sure that he is safe from Tom. Tyke loves his father and Spike loves his son and they get along like friends, although most of time they would be taking a nap or Spike would teach Tyke the main facts of life of being a dog. Like Spike, Tyke's appearance has altered throughout the years, from grey (with white paws) to creamy tan. When first aired, this was the first time that viewers were able to hear Tyke speak. Butch and Toodles Galore.

Main articles: and Butch is a black, cigar-smoking cat who also wants to eat Jerry. He is the most frequent adversary of Tom. However, for most of the episodes he appears in, he is usually seen rivaling Tom over Toodles. Butch was also Tom's chum as in some cartoons, where Butch is leader of Tom's alley cat buddies, who are mostly,.

Butch talks more often than Tom or Jerry in most shorts. Both characters were originally introduced in 's 1941 short, but were integrated into Tom and Jerry rather than continuing in their own series. Main article: Nibbles is a small grey mouse who often appears in shorts as Jerry's nephew. He is a carefree individual who very rarely understands the danger of the situation, simply following instructions the best he can both to Jerry's command and his own innocent understanding of the situation. This can lead to such results 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.

Many times Nibbles is an ally of Jerry in fights against Tom, including being the second Mouseketeer. He is given speaking roles in all his appearances as a Mouseketeer, often with a high-pitched French tone. However, during a short in which he rescued Robin Hood, his voice was instead more masculine, gruff, and cockney accented. Mammy Two Shoes. Frame from the short. The characters in this shot have turned into black stereotypes after a passing car splashed mud on their faces.

Scenes such as this are frequently highly edited or cut from modern broadcasts of Tom and Jerry Like many animated cartoons from the 1930s to the early 1950s, Tom and Jerry featured racial stereotypes. After explosions, for example, characters with blasted faces would resemble stereotypical blacks, with large lips and bow-tied hair. Perhaps the most controversial element of the show is the character Mammy Two Shoes, a poor black maid who speaks in a stereotypical 'black accent' and has a rodent problem. Joseph Barbera, who was responsible for these gags, claimed that the racial gags in Tom and Jerry did not reflect his racial opinion; they were just reflecting what was common in society and cartoons at the time and were meant to be humorous. Today, the blackface gags are often censored when these shots are aired. Mammy Two-Shoes' voice was re-dubbed by Turner in the mid-1990s to make the character sound less stereotypical; the resulting accent sounds more Irish. Three shorts in particular, the depiction of cannibals, in, a scene where the face of Jerry is blackened by Tom with cigar smoke and where Tom is shown as blackface has been removed from the Blu-ray DVD edition.

In Tom and Jerry's Spotlight Collection DVD, a disclaimer by warns viewers about the potentially offensive material in the cartoons and emphasizes that they were 'wrong then and they are wrong today', borrowing a phrase from the Warner Bros. Golden collection. This disclaimer is also used in the Tom and Jerry Golden Collection: Volume 1 on.
