Tom and Jerry
Tom and Jerry is an American series of 161 short cartoons produced for the cinema between 1940 and 1967 . Most of the episodes deal with the tomcat's attempt to catch the house mouse Jerry, which results in bizarre chases and duels, in which the mouse usually has the upper hand.
The production was extremely successful worldwide and received numerous prizes and awards. Seven episodes were awarded an Oscar , and another six were nominated for an Oscar. This makes Tom and Jerry the most award-winning cartoon series ever.
history
1940-1958
The series was preceded by the animated film Jerry drives too colorful ( Puss Gets the Boot ), which was released in 1940. Like the first 114 episodes, it was produced in the animation studio of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer under the direction of William Hanna (1910-2001) and Joseph Barbera (1911-2006) under classic animation conditions. Fred Quimby and other high-ranking representatives of the MGM reacted rather cautiously to the screening of the film, while they had liked the preliminary versions very much. When the film was released in cinemas without major advertising, Rudolf Ising received the credit for directing, while Hanna and Barbera were not named in the original version. After the film was Oscar-nominated, Quimby called the two of them into his office, told them MGM didn't want to put everything on one card, and let them work on other characters. It was only when short film expert Besa Short (1895–1974) asked Quimby by letter “when the world would see more of these adorable cat-and-mouse cartoons” that Hanna and Barbera were instructed to work on the characters again. Now the cat, initially called Jasper , and the mouse (called Jinx by Hanna ) needed a new name. For this purpose, employees of the studio were asked to write down pairs of names on pieces of paper that were collected in a hat. The slip of paper pulled out of the hat had the names Tom and Jerry on it and it was from animator John Carr, who won fifty dollars with it. Now the studio still had to get legal approval to name the two characters Tom and Jerry after the cocktail . The Van Beuren Studios characters of the same name had already been discontinued in 1933.
Between the first episodes of Tom and Jerry, there are stylistically different characters for Tom and Jerry, depending on the animation team and concept. In the beginning, cats were very cute, fluffy and stylized, while the mouse was rather knotty and not very differentiated in terms of expression. The further development of the figures led from the realistic style of 1949 used today in merchandising to more distinctive forms that were again significantly more abstract. In the course of time both the mouse and the reinforcement for Tom appeared minor characters. The main characters became the bulldog Spike (which was initially introduced under different names and later appeared more frequently), his son Tyke and the mouse boy Nibbles ( called Tuffy in later comic strips ). Other minor characters, such as a yellow canary or Tom's cat friends , the black-haired Tim ( Butch ), the orange-haired Liky ( Lightning) and an unnamed young cat (often incorrectly referred to as a bear child, in the original Topsy ), appeared more frequently, but disappeared just as quickly again and did not become constant companions.
In these first episodes, Tom and Jerry are animal figures who play jokes, especially in the home environment. The cat is being held by the black housekeeper Mammy Two-Shoes , who is afraid of mice. In the American original, she speaks with a pronounced southern accent of blacks, comes to the fore as an authority or punitive person and is often harmed. A special feature is that the people drawn in the older films only ever show the lower half of the body (seen from the perspective of a child or an animal). In more recent productions, human figures can also be seen in full.
The older episodes were generally more creative, more violent and very successful in theaters. Hanna and Barbera later produced other well-known cartoon series such as the Feuerstein family for television . The MGM animation department was closed in 1957.
1960-1969
In 1961 and 1962, 13 Tom and Jerry cartoons were produced by Gene Deitch in Prague , followed by 34 cartoons by Chuck Jones and Les Goldman from 1963 to 1967 . Here, too, further stylistic changes have been made, the characters have become more striking and increasingly fictional, lead their own lives and act like people. In the 1960s, the housekeeper Mammy Two-Shoes was replaced by a white housewife. This was done in the light of socio-political changes in the United States.
In the following years, other animated films were made for television in which violence was largely avoided and which - with a smaller budget - could not keep up with the artistic quality of the cinema episodes. The series lost its attractiveness as a result, but was able to keep in the audience's favor due to the continued broadcast of the older episodes.
Edits
The older episodes were created in and immediately after World War II and were fraught with stereotypes. Above all, this included jokes at the expense of the fat black housekeeper Mammy Two-Shoes , which corresponded to the ubiquitous cliché of black Mammy, who also worked with slapstick-like overdrawings, for example when around twenty long petticoats in various brightly colored patterns are gathered up in quick succession. Recent new releases are often edited these days; Both TV broadcasts and DVD releases cut scenes of violence or scenes that some considered racist (e.g. when someone's face was sooty after an explosion).
Editing began as early as the mid-1950s, however, when Mammy Two-Shoes , who had appeared in almost every episode up until then, was replaced in new productions by a slender, middle-class white housewife, as the films could be sold better on television . Lillian Randolph's dubbing voice , who also had a soft, accent-free voice, was replaced with June Foray's voice , who spoke with an Irish accent. In the copies available today, there are often no human figures at all.
However, the original movies also featured extremely violent scenes that were already left out in the 1960s when old film material was transferred to new media. All master tapes in circulation today no longer contain this material. The numerous consecutive adaptations meant that the films can no longer be seen today in the state in which they were seen by audiences in the 1940s and 1950s.
Charisma
German television
"Tom and Jerry" was first shown on German television in 1976 on ZDF. For the German television market, individual episodes were cut together into collective contributions (initially structurally separated by means of interim films by the cartoonist Curt Linda , in which a ghost and a skeleton frighten each other), later, from 1981, but based on the individual episode Jerry's Diary from 1949, by Kenneth Muse and Ed Barge was animated according to the style they developed. In this episode, Tom discovers Jerry's diary and reads what is a short framework story into which five excerpts from other episodes are played. This episode was used when the production was tailored to TV format, with the clips being replaced with different episodes each time. These episodes are separated from several interludes in which Tom's good mood gradually deteriorates and towards the end of which he angrily tears up his diary and smears a cake in the face of the completely surprised Jerry (the latter, however, was cut out when switching from ZDF to ProSieben in the early 1990s .) These interludes were accompanied by the piano intro or outro of the title song of the German TV version, Thank you for the flowers by Udo Jürgens . The song is one of Jürgens' most famous pieces. In this form Tom and Jerry became known to the German audience. Because the framework plot of Jerry's Diary was shown in every TV episode, it became the most famous episode of all: The figures drawn in the style of Muse and Barge are now considered typical Tom and Jerry in Germany and are used in German merchandising .
All episodes are synchronized with a voice from the off, which mostly tells and comments from Jerry's perspective. But there are also episodes in which what has happened is commented on from a neutral position; these are those that were used from June 1983 to fill the gaps before the news broadcast today (television broadcast) . These episodes ran under the title Hunting Scenes in Hollywood and were mostly severely shortened; some episodes are only available in German in the shortened version. The theme song of the hunting scenes in Hollywood was The Entertainer , the frame story was the episode Matinee Mouse (Tom and False Peace) from 1966, in which Tom and Jerry watch their own films in a cinema, amuse themselves at each other's pain and each other her mood gradually deteriorated. These cartoons have been integrated into the normal series since they were broadcast on ProSieben.
Similar to the Pink Panther , the mostly rhyming comments are a German peculiarity and should contribute to entertainment and easier understanding of the plot through additional context and wit. The content of the original and the dubbed version therefore appear slightly different to the German-speaking audience. Siegfried Rabe , who was also the co-author of the theme song of this German TV version, Thank you for the flowers , was responsible for the German texts for the first TV broadcasts . The texts were initially spoken by Peter Ehret , and after 1981 by Stefan Krause . Arnold Marquis spoke the lyrics for the hunting scenes in Hollywood . The bulldog Spike and Mammy-Two-Shoes were mostly spoken by Walter Reichelt and Marianne Wischmann .
In 1987 the series Tom and Jerry ran regularly on ZDF for the last time, but the hunting scenes in Hollywood continued to be broadcast for some time and moved to the afternoon program. On September 3, 1990, the first broadcast was on ProSieben , where the series ran until 1996. The series later ran in the third programs as well as in the first (2001-2006), on kabel eins (2006-2008), again in the first program (2007) and finally for the first time in full and in chronological order on RTL 2 (2008). The series also runs sporadically on ORF 1 and SF two . Since 2014 holds Super RTL the rights to the series, where they can be seen in February, 2014. In addition, the classic German opening credits with the well-known "Thank you for the flowers" song by Udo Jürgens are used.
Almost all cartoons from 1940 to 1967 are now available on DVD - in a 12-part Tom & Jerry Classic Collection . In the context of this publication, however, Tom as a millionaire (14) and unwilling babysitter (100) were forgotten . These are only on the best-of DVDs Tom and Jerry - Auf Reisen or Tom and Jerry - Your greatest hunting scenes - Part 2 (Tom as a millionaire) as well as Tom and Jerry - Uninvited guests or Tom and Jerry - your greatest hunting scenes - Part 5 ( unwilling babysitting under the alternative title Stress with the offspring ) included.
International
In Great Britain , the oldest surviving versions of the episodes are usually shown, that is, those that Barbera himself transferred from cinema tapes to new material in 1965. The BBC also uses the episodes as an emergency tape in the event of broadcast interruptions and technical malfunctions instead of a notice board because fewer viewers then switch. In the heavily cartoony Japanese media market, Tom and Jerry is one of the 100 most popular productions.
