In this episode we begin our three part look at the theatrical era of Tom & Jerry. First up is the golden age of the Hanna-Barbera shorts that saw the cat and mouse win seven Academy Awards and the hearts of cartoon-lovers everywhere. Andy and Todd examine four shorts that represent the characters in their natural domestic setting, and discuss co-stars like Spike and Mammy Two-Shoes, the art of slapstick timing, and whether Andy’s choice for the best Tom & Jerry short makes him a sadist. Plus, for those who are counting, there are more animated butts in this episode!
SHORTS DISCUSSED:
Puss Gets the Boot (1940, William Hanna, Joseph Barbera)
Mouse Trouble (1944, William Hanna, Joseph Barbera)
Little Runaway (1952, William Hanna, Joseph Barbera)
