However, this has not always been the case. For example, during World War II, animations were also produced as instruments for political propaganda as well as educational material for adult audiences. In this thesis, the history of the production of animations in the United States of America will be reviewed, especially as the years of World War II are concerned.

  • 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.

    Spike Bulldog - Tom and Jerryvisited Wiki on 5/21/2015 Page 1 of 3 Submit Query Sign in Start a wikia Spike Bulldog Spike Bulldog For other uses, see the disambiguation page for Spike. Spike is a grey bulldog that appears in many episodes of Tom and Jerry. He is a friend of Jerry and a rival of Tom, however, sometimes he is a rival of both like the episode Dog Trouble. He hates Tom because in the episodes that Spike appears, fights Tom is chasing Jerry around but ends up giving Spike or his son, Tyke, a bad day. Obviously, whenever Spike tells Tom not to do a certain thing (ex. dirtying Tyke), Jerry does his best to get Tom in trouble (in the example, Jerry would get Tyke as dirty as possible). Tom Cat's son is his foe and hero. Spike also appeared in some of the recent cartoons featuring a basset hound called Droopy, another popular MGM cartoon character. He's also in Tom and Jerry Tales. He appeared in most episodes, in "Catfish Follies", he is a dogfish and also in "Zent Out of Shape" where he is similar to Godzilla. He also beats Jerry occasionally this probably that Spike finally notices it was Jerry who was actually really responsible for bothering his son, stealing his bones and getting disturbed and injured that Jerry caused on him and messing up his son. You can also see Spike in Mickey Mouse, but as Butch the Bulldog. Contents Appearance Spike has grey skin, a red dog leash and a anchored tatoo on his left upper arm as seen in "Quiet Please!".

  • Magical Maestro by Thad Komorowski
    Magical Maestro By Thad Komorowski It may be impossible to pick a single animated cartoon that best represents the name Tex Avery. The first nine years of his legacy at the MGM cartoon studio (1941- 1950) produced one of the most impressive oeuvres in all Hollywood cinema. Despite being part of what amounted to an artistic vacuum, Avery’s best films always try to out- do each other in their rowdy, delicate search for animated perfection. If one cartoon did have to represent Avery at his finest, “Magical Maestro” would be a fine choice and likely get Poochini and the infamous “hair in the projector” gag. no sane arguments to the contrary. One hears infectious laughter during any Avery cartoon with a live audience, between Avery and his own perfectionism. Most of but never more than when the great singer Poochini Avery’s collaborators at MGM commented that he was (Avery’s reoccurring character Spike the bulldog under a the textbook definition of “worrywart;” that he was never cornball alias) stops during his solo to pull a hair out of confident with his own drawing skill and would always the film’s projection gate.
