The most prominent
memories of our childhood, Tom and Jerry is definitely one cartoon that made
our childhood happy and enjoyable, as well as being a name which we all will
not forget for the rest of our lives. You may have watched all the shows but there are few things
and facts that you probably don’t know about the show. Here in this article I
am going to highlight those surprising and unknown facts that will expose you
to their amazing realities.
Jansper and Jinx to
Tom and Jerry
Most people know
Tom and Jerry, but they would not know how their names came from. The real hero
of the Tom and Jerry saga was Known by the name John Carr. He was the humble
animator who won a studio-wide competition to come up with permanent names for
the cat and mouse and define their characters. His suggestion not only helped
to define two of the greatest and immortal cartoon characters, he also managed
to win 50 dollars for his suggestion. Without this guy, our iconic cat and
mouse would not have these names as before this competition, Tom was supposed
to be called Jasper and Jerry was nameless and later aws called Jinx. The
combination wasn’t that good.
The Creators Didn’t
Stop
Tom
& Jerry was made by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, they’ve not only
created the infamous animation series, but also formed the studio that gave us
Yogi Bear, Top Cat, Scooby-Doo, The Smurfs, The Flintstones and many others!
Tom and Jerry
Became Temporary Best Friends
We
all know that Tom and Jerry were sworn enemies, but did you know in 1975, they
actually became friends? I am not talking about plain friends. In 1975, both of
them actually became best friends, in a special series which saw them travel
the world competing in sports, solving mysteries and enjoying a bromance in
cozy way. But it didn’t last.
Criticized for
Being Violent
Tom
and Jerry was criticized for being what many consider unnecessarily violent, in
reality, there is actually no blood or gore in any of the original cartoons and
neither anyone ever is seriously injured.
Achievements by the
Show
Thirteen entries in the Tom and Jerry
series were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Short Subject: Cartoons.
Seven of them went on to win the Academy Award, breaking
the Disney studio’s winning streak in that category! Tom and Jerry
won more Academy Awards than any other character-based theatrical animated
series.
Tom & Jerry and the
Silence
Tom and Jerry were never silent
characters. Throughout the series they’ve mumbled and uttered a lot of lines
which we never paid attention to.
Copycats of Tom and Jerry
Tom & Jerry had a number of knock-off series. One of
the most famous ones was the so-called Herman and Katnip, but as you’d expect
the show didn’t really make much in the industry.
Tom and Jerry’s First Movie
The first international film of Tom and
Jerry released in Oct 1992. Later DVD released and it was sold to Warner
Brothers.
The Spike &
Tyke
Tom and Jerry had a
spin-off! A series called Spike & Tyke was created in 1957 and saw the
American bulldog father-and-son team who occasionally beat up Tom! Sadly
they only released two episodes before the studio was shut down.
Final Episode
Speaking about endings, Tom and Jerry
had a pretty sad ending to their epic tale. In the final episode of Tom
and Jerry the two come to a very bad end when they both take their own lives on
a train track. The cartoon did not show the train running over them, but it was
implied with the look on their faces and way they waited for the train to run
over them. That was a sad ending and they deserve a better ending after
providing so much entertainment.
We all will love and keep loving both Tom and Jerry. If you still miss them try on these things-
