TOM AND JERRY IN WAR OF THE WHISKERS TIER LIST TV
Unlike his father Spike, Tyke does not speak in Tom and Jerry or The Tom and Jerry Show (2014 TV series) (aside from laughing in one short) he does speak in Tom and Jerry Kids, voiced by Frank Welker and speaking roles by Patric Zimmerman. After Daws Butler, Maurice LaMarche, Frank Welker, John DiMaggio, Michael Donovan, Phil LaMarr, Rick Zieff and currently Bobby Cannavale would all perform Spike's voice. Spike is very protective towards his son and gets very angry at Tom if Tyke is bothered or harmed. His first speaking role was in The Bodyguard (1944), where he was voiced by Billy Bletcher up until 1949, from which point he was voiced by Daws Butler. Spike has a few weaknesses that Tom tries to capitalize upon: his possessiveness about his bone and his ticklishness. In the shorts, Jerry would often try to get Tom in trouble with Spike so that the bulldog would beat him. Spike, occasionally referred to as Butch or Killer, is a stern, but occasionally amazing grey bulldog who is particularly disapproving of cats, but is gentle towards mice (though in his debut appearance, Dog Trouble (1942), Spike goes after both Tom and Jerry), and later, his son Tyke. Main article: Spike and Tyke (characters) The following characters were introduced in the theatrical shorts that were directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Other times, however, Tom does keep his promise to Jerry and the partnerships are not so quickly dissolved after the problem is solved.
This is the case in Posse Cat, when they agree that Jerry will allow himself to be caught if Tom agrees to share his reward dinner, but Tom then reneges. These partnerships are usually forgotten about when an unexpected event happens, or when one character feels that the other is no longer necessary. Multiple shorts show the two getting along with minimal difficulty, and they are more than capable of teamwork when the situation calls for it, usually against a third party who manages to torture and humiliate them both.
Occasionally, the duo can bond over a mutual sentiment towards an unpleasant experience and their attacking each other is more of a game than serious. However, when one character appears to 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. One story that has a friendly ending is Snowbody Loves Me.īoth characters display sadistic tendencies, usually taking pleasure in tormenting each other, although it is often in response to a triggering event. They occasionally end up being friends, although within this set of stories, the truce is often ruined by some last minute event. Occasionally and ironically, sometimes they both lose, like when Jerry's final trap or attack on Tom backfires or he overlooks something, like in Filet Meow, Jerry orders a shark from the pet store to scare Tom away from eating a goldfish, but finds himself entirely intimidated as well. In Timid Tabby, Tom's look-alike cousin pushes Jerry over the edge. However, there are rare occasions where Tom triumphs over Jerry, mostly when the latter pushes Tom a little too far, such as in The Million Dollar Cat, where Jerry learns that Tom will lose his newly acquired wealth if he harms any animal, "including mice", he then torments Tom a little too much until he retaliates. By the final "fade-out" of each cartoon, Jerry usually gets the best of Tom. Although cats usually chase mice to eat them, it is quite rare for Tom to actually try to eat Jerry, but to either compete with Jerry as usual to taunt him (even as revenge), to obtain a reward from a human (including his owner(s) or master(s)) for catching him, or for generally doing his job as a house cat well. Jerry also possesses surprising strength for his size, sometimes even stronger than Tom's, being able to lift items such as anvils with relative ease, able to withstand big impacts. Despite being very energetic, determined and much larger, Tom is no match for Jerry's wits. He is usually, but not always, portrayed as living a comfortable and pampered life, while Jerry (originally called "Jinx"), a young brown house mouse, always living in close proximity to Tom. Tom (originally called "Jasper") is an adult blue/grey who is often believed to be either a Russian Blue or a domestic shorthair cat.
