Spike and tyke tom and jerry series#
Within a couple of years, Spike & Tyke were holding down a series of their own - only it wasn't in cartoons, but in comic books. Also, between 1949 and '52, Spike guest-starred several times with Droopy. Even after that, Spike continued to appear from time to time without Tyke. Tyke wasn't introduced until October 1, 1949, the release date of Love That Pup. Spike continued as a solo guest star for the next several years. Actually, tho, only Spike appeared in that one. Tyke, tho, didn't say much.Īt least one important cartoon reference work lists Dog Trouble (released April 18, 1942) as the pair's debut.
At first, Spike's voice was provided by Bill Thompson (also the voice of Droopy), but later Daws Butler ( Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound) took the role. Spike & Tyke cartoons generally consisted of Tyke doing something cute while Spike did something painful yet hilarious to Tom. Spike was a big, gruff bulldog, and Tyke was his adorable son. That's where Spike & Tyke, stars of the last series the studio ever launched, came from.
To keep it fresh, directorsīill Hanna and Joe Barbera introduced a few recurring supporting characters over the years, and some of them went on to become minor stars in their own right. MGM's Tom & Jerry series, which started in 1940, is one of animation's classics - but it's also very repetitive. Please contribute to its necessary financial support.
