    The Chase Is On! Infamous Cat-And-Mouse Rivals Tom & Jerry

    October 28, 2020 The chase is on! Infamous cat-and-mouse rivals Tom & Jerry partner with Macy’s on a zany animatronic float to celebrate their new movie and the 94th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade® BURBANK, CA – October 28, 2020 – On November 26th Macy’s and Warner Bros. team up to bring fans a completely new spectacle of fun and fantasy, as beloved frenemies Tom and Jerry showcase their famous brand of comic chaos with an eye-popping float in the 94th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade®. An American holiday tradition for more than 90 years with more than 50 million fans nationwide, the Parade is fitting partnership for the timeless pop culture icons as Tom and Jerry share in the good wishes of the season and offer fans a taste of what to expect in the big-screen event film “Tom & Jerry,” opening March 5, 2021. Titled “Tourist Trap,” the hilarious and engaging float features animatronics as well as smoke and other effects to spoof city life by throwing Tom into a series of wild squash-and-stretch sight gags the likes of which have entertained audiences everywhere. Among the indignities Tom endures are run-ins with a steamroller, a truck, a deceptively innocent-looking pretzel stand and a sewer gator. He even inflates like a mini Parade balloon as Jerry, ever the instigator, flies above the pandemonium in a drone helicopter. The float itself, a casualty of the endless mayhem, will lurch and limp down the Parade route. The animated/live-action adventure “Tom & Jerry,” starring Chloë Grace Moretz, Michael Peña, Rob Delaney, Colin Jost, and Ken Jeong, debuts in theaters on March 5, 2021.

  • Biographical Elements in the Animated Cartoon Tom and Jerry

    Biographical Elements in the Animated Cartoon Tom and Jerry

    Lapis Lazuli -An International Literary Journal (LLILJ) Vol.2/ NO.2/Autumn 2012 (Auto)/Biographical elements in the Animated Cartoon Tom and Jerry Aju Aravind ______________________________________________________________________________ “A large part of any book is written not by its author but by the world its author lives in” and a large part of a text is determined by the age, gender and the socio-cultural background of its creator (Hollindale, 23). For instance, it is suggested that Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster’s, Superman is a Jew. This question ofcourse is open to debate. It is interesting to note that Superman was created by two Jewish men in “Depression-era Cleveland,” at a time and place that stood between earlier periods of immigration and the impending Holocaust (Horn,42). In the two volume graphic novel Maus, Art Spiegelman narrates the story of his parents and their experiences during the Holocaust. The elimination of true parents, especially the mother, from the comics has a great personal meaning for Disney, as is evident from his animated cartoons like Bambi, Snow White, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Dumbo (Dorfman, 225). Similarly, the Italian influence of Tom and Jerry, reminds us of the Italian origin of Joseph Barbera. There are also other arguable references in the Tom and Jerry series that hint at the life and relations of its creators—the directors William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, and the producer Fred Quimby. There was no doubt about the future of the cat and the mouse, as they had already gained a place for themselves in the hearts of millions of people, especially children around the globe.

    Tom and Jerry Projecting Violence in Slapstick Comedy

    JLD. 23, BIL. 1, 2021: 65−82 | VOL. 23, NO. 1, 2021: 65−82 Tom and Jerry Projecting Violence in Slapstick Comedy: A Qualitative Content Analysis Md Mohiul Islam University of Malaya, Malaysia [email protected] Hamedi Mohd Adnan University of Malaya, Malaysia [email protected] Mohd Amir Mat Omar University of Malaya, Malaysia [email protected] Nilufa Akter City University, Bangladesh [email protected] ABSTRACT This study provides a categorized list of actions that have been termed as violent ones in the famous cartoon Tom and Jerry which has already celebrated its Platinum Jubilee with a lot of allegations for displaying violence. The never-ending rivalry between the cat and the mouse with the slapstick comedy has created some controversies regarding its contents; violence has made the scholars and critics talk about it and its possible impacts on the audience. Apart from lamenting for the impacts of violence on the juveniles’ mind, this study rather focuses on how Tom and Jerry projects violence alongside the slapstick comic elements in the name of entertainment, since it is significant to discern what violence is and then categorize them into different types, as different categories of violence may have impacts on the audience in different ways. By defining the term violence, this study shows how Tom and Jerry display the actions which can be the ribs and stretchers of the umbrella known as violence. Whereas most of the scholars concentrate on the outcome of showing violence among the different programs in media, this study categorizes the actions performed by the characters in the cartoon into different categories through a qualitative content analysis method and defines those actions according to the definitions of violence.

  • The Dynamics of Creative Play in Studio Animation

    The Dynamics of Creative Play in Studio Animation

    Ludic Toons 4HE $YNAMICS OF #REATIVE 0LAY IN 3TUDIO !NIMATION s Pat Power Though generally accepted as the most playfully entertaining form of popular media or art, animation as play has received little scholarly analysis. The author examines the nature of playfulness in animation and describes play as a criti- cal tool in animation studies. Examining studio character animation from such perspectives as creative production, animated output, and audience reception, he builds on findings of animation studies, neuroscience, cognitive psychology, anthropology, semiotics, sociology, and aesthetics to propose a specific or ludic mode of animation. He then reviews how cinematic naturalism affects the nature of play in animation. He concludes that animation is a playground for the mind and that engagement with animated entertainment is authentic play. Key words: animation history; animation studies; cartoons; Disney; Pixar; playfulness in ani- mation; Warner Bros. Introduction and Scope The field of film studies is itself relatively new, a phenomenon of the 1960s, and animation studies is younger still; it emerged only in the last twenty years. Although most of us find animated cartoons both playful and entertaining, academics have long shied away from the study of animation for this very reason. The perception of animation as “cartoons for kiddies,” largely a Disney legacy, has meant that mainstream animation was a “no-go area for most film critics and theorists” (Pilling 1997, xi). The study of play has similarly suffered such neglect. Given the confluence of these two shunned subject areas, it should be hardly surprising that there has been little, if any, analysis of animation as play, and rarely do we find any play-related discussions in scholarly works on anima- tion—or even any mention of play in their indexes.

    'TOON IN, 'TOON OUT: AMERICAN TELEVISION ANIMATION and the SHAPING of AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE, 1948-1980 by David Perlmutt

    ‘TOON IN, ‘TOON OUT: AMERICAN TELEVISION ANIMATION AND THE SHAPING OF AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE, 1948-1980 by David Perlmutter A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Joint Master’s Program – Departments of History The University of Manitoba / The University of Winnipeg Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Copyright © 2010 by David Perlmutter ii ABSTRACT This thesis is a systematic study of significant American television animation programs produced between 1948 and 1980, with special attention given to selected works produced by three influential studios: Hanna-Barbera, Jay Ward and Filmation. It considers how outside forces such as television network censorship, grassroots political activism, and other social and political forces served to limit how the genre developed, and the extent to which producers chose to test the limits to get their points across. It provides a discussion of masculine images in television animation of the 1950s and 1960s, and of the reactions of television animation producers to outside concerns regarding violent imagery in children’s programming, and the threat of censorship related to this, in the 1970s. My thesis demonstrates that television animation producers, as a result of the need to remain actively involved in production, were forced to change and adapt with the times around them. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my family and friends for supporting me through this endeavor. I have appreciated their support especially in those times when I doubted my abilities, because they never did. I particularly want to thank Professor Churchill and Professor Elvins for giving me their advice and guidance in the long and arduous process of conceiving the draft.

  • The Flintstones Chris Pisar

    Etched in Stone Journalistic Portrayals and the Prevalence of Media in a Town Called Bedrock Chris W. Pisar Etched in Stone: Journalistic Portrayals and the Prevalence of Media in a Town Called Bedrock Pisar 2 Abstract This article examines the animated, primetime comedy The Flintstones and how its portrayal of the news media affects the way people, especially children, view journalists. The research will focus on the portrayals of journalists throughout the show’s run. This article also will look at the prevalence of the media, such as newspapers, radio, and television, in the series and how this affects how people think the media function in the real world. With television consumption at an all-time high (the average American watches four hours of television a day)1, the residual effects of the way the media and journalists are portrayed on television, including cartoons, becomes increasingly important. By understanding the way journalists are portrayed in cartoons, we can better understand the longtime impact on children, the primary target audience of The Flintstones. I hypothesize that the way the news media are portrayed and the prevalence of the media in the series affect the way audiences view the media and journalists in reality. Introduction Television was introduced in the United States back in the 1930s, but it wasn’t until 1948-49 that “the explosion of sets into the American marketplace” took place.2 The typical household had one set and used television as a family activity.3 Now, two-thirds of the nation’s population has three or more TV sets in their home.4 This has caused watching television to become an isolated activity rather than a family activity like it had been in the past.
