I've had this video on my Watch Later list for about three/four years, until RU-vid reminded me of it on my homepage just now before heading to bed. So happy I finally got to give it a good watch. Poorly made or not, it was the most entertaining thing I've ever seen in a long time! Can't believe I skipped it for so long. 😅
Fun fact: William Hanna, the co-creator of Tom and Jerry, was the one who did all of Tom's iconic screams. All I'll say is that that man had a colossal set of pipes on him.
84 Years Old, and still the best cartoon ever crafted. 💛 EDIT: I want to clarify that there are many great cartoons after the golden age (South Park, The Loud House, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Samurai Jack, Hey Arnold!, et cetera). But the golden age is the golden age for a reason; "Tom & Jerry" and "Looney Tunes" will never be surpassed. 🌟
Animator Spike Brandt shared a story about how when he recorded Tom's screams for the T&J movies he directed, he used a special metal bucket that he screamed into to make his yells sound as close to Bill Hanna's as possible. He found out about this technique because he saw Bill do the scream live at an art gallery appearance. Mr. Hanna was 80 years old at that time, and you could still tell it was Tom!
For those who never knew, Tom and Jerry were never enemies, they were actually best friends playing cat n’ mouse. It just looked like they were rivals.
Another fun fact: Originally, Tom's screams were that of an actual cat scream/hiss (a person doing the sounds obviously), but they later changed it to a human man scream since hearing realistic cat sounds made audiences feel uncomfortable. William Hanna's iconic screams made Tom more anthropomorphic and more human to make audiences relate to him more (like other human and anthropomorphic characters) which detached him from being an actual cat.
Tom & Jerry is a unique show where when you're a kid you think that Tom is a mean & violent guy. But once you grown up you think that Jerry is a dickhead that always ruin Tom's quiet life.
@@appleslover Such a legendary cartoon, the best in history in my opinion. The fact that it won seven Oscars for Best Live Action short is just amazing
Being an adult is knowing Tom the cat wasn't the bad guy PS. When I wrote this comment 5 months ago, I was little high of some mad trees. I still stand by it thou. I was simply pointing out how prospective changes as one gets some miles on them. If you were kid and always felt how I do as an adult about tom, then it just means you had adult-like prospective, which is entirely Plausible. But if you are truly grownz up and you take a self inventory, I bet you that you can name a few schools of thought on somethings where you now stand diametrically opposite of where you once stood.✌️
yeah or else spike would’ve probably beaten his ass for waking up his son although i’m kind of surprised tom isn’t used to the beating considering pain happens to him from jerry and spike often
@@Asteel94231 When I was 11-12, I tried to dunk the ball in the rim, while playing basketball. I used a piece of concrete to bounce off, to be able to reach the rim. The ball went in but I failed to grab the rim with my fingers and I fell to the concrete ground, coccyx first. My mind was screaming just like Tom but my body was in such pain that I was unable to make any sound at all. My vision turned red and I sincerely wanted to die at that moment. It took me like 10 minutes to get up and walk home.
@@abdelkaderelbrazi last winter I slipped on ice TWICE and hurt my tailbone both times, that kind of pain is so bad and takes your breath away, I laid on the ground and literally crawled to my car crying 😭
@@Sanmarachella Oh my God. I really feel sorry for you. Hurting your tailbone hurts, but hurting it twice is just a torture. Please be more careful this year :)
@@abdelkaderelbrazi yeah, and hurting it and having your sister kick you in that very spot in her sleep that it wakes you up out of YOUR sleep is even WORSE, I just remember yelling "OW!"
Tom and Jerry is forever the goat in my mind. The show barely had any dialogue at all, just found the most incredible ways to animate pain and physical comedy
I'm supposed to be studying medical terminology right now, but hearing Tom's iconic screams feels more important. Update: I never did pass my terminology class. People in my life have said I’m just not cut out for higher education. They’ll never know Tom led me astray.
William Hanna just going feral in the booth. I can’t imagine a person in the mid to late 20th century hollering like this unless they’ve gone completely mad.
You're probably thinking of the Junker Ju-87 Stuka Dive Bomber. And no, it's not the engine that makes the sound. It has a siren in the Landing Gears that makes the noise. The Stukas had small props in their landing gears. When the aircraft goes into a steep dive (going at higher speeds), those props turn and it sounds its iconic siren; the Jericho Trumpet. _(Thanks to blue spy & Le Spygineer for the correction and additional info)_
