History of Tom and Jerry!!



History Tom and Jerry Cartoon


You must have known Tom and Jerry, the Cartoon character. Tom and Jerry is an animated series produced MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer ) United States tells the story of a cat (Tom) and a mouse (Jerry) who are always quarreling and fighting each other. This animated series is an Academy Award (Oscar) and form the basis of a successful series studio  MGM.  They are created, written and directed by two animators named William Hanna and Joseph Barbera ( Hanna-Barbera).

Cartoon History

The mastermind behind this short story are Hanna and Barbera. Here's the story initially discovered, When looking at a cat pouncing on a mouse in his kitchen one day, Hanna suddenly got the idea to make the feud as something funny from the story itself. Then, they immediately made the script and named the cartoon character as Tom & Jerry in 1932 with Van Beuren Studio. At that time, they were still working  in the magazine as the creator of a cartoon or a cartoonist.

The theme in the story line in each of the episodes  are usually centered on Tom's attempts to capture Jerry, accompanied by a variety of physical conflict and material damage in the process to captured. They sometimes appear to live peacefully side by side in several episodes (at least in the first few minutes), so it is sometimes unclear why Tom is so passionate about chasing Jerry. Tom catch Jerry rarely successful, mainly due to the skill and agility Jerry and Tom's own stupidity. Tom usually beat Jerry when the mice into the cause of the problem or when Jerry was acting outrageous.

MGM (Metro Goldwyn Meyer) is the first production house to produce this film. Unfortunately  by  1957, MGM closed the division. Inevitably, the fate of Tom & Jerry was abandoned. In fact, so many fans. Not only children but also adults.Hope arose again when six years later, there was Chuck Jones, a talented animator who is interested in reviving the cat and mouse that's hilarious. So, MGM was making another movie Tom & Jerry. Unfortunately, again, this did not last long. 

 But then, the lapse of four years, MGM stopped producing cartoons. They did not continue to work with Jones.Because already in love with the characters Tom & Jerry, 1975, Hanna and Barbera ultimately strive to make their own movie. With difficulty, they eventually make a television series that appears every Saturday morning.

After the great effort by the genius Hanna and Barbera in 1975, the production evolved. Tom & Jerry films were spread throughout the world. Now, we can watch on TV, pieces of VCD / DVD, also in the form of his game.

 CHARACTERS 

Tom “The Cat” and Jerry “The Mouse”

Tom Cat is a cat house bluish gray (Tom's fur color is very similar to the color of the Russian Blue cat) who live in indulgence, while Jerry is a small brown mouse who always stayed close to where Tom lives. Tom is very quick-tempered and irritable, while Jerry is a character who lives free and very good at taking a chance.
Jerry  the Mouse have a tendency to be sadistic; meaning happy to torture one another. However, in some episodes, when one character is in danger, other characters will be awakened and save character.

Although many supporting characters and minor characters speaking roles, Tom and Jerry rarely speak for themselves. Tom, for instance, noted for his favorite to sing when trying to attract a female cat. He sang the song "Is You Is or Is You Is not My Baby" by Louis Jordan in the episode "Solid Serenade" made in 1946. Directed by William Hanna contributed rat squeaked voice, breath sounds and other voices for the two main characters of this. One of the sound-effect donation Hanna is heartfelt cries Tom cries which are made from the original Hanna where the beginning and end of the tape is removed so that only shouts the loudest cries are presented. The only episode in which Tom talked a little long and did not sing was "Million Dollar Cat", where Tom speaks "Gee.'m Throwing away a MILLION dollars .... BUT I'M HAPPY!" while playing Jerry.
