TOM AND JERRY TYKE SERIES

Later Tom and Jerry shorts are set in what appears to be Mammy's own house. In the earliest shorts, Mammy is depicted as the maid taking care of the often opulent home in which Tom and Jerry reside. Over the years, Tom and Jerry cartoons featuring Mammy have been censored or removed from broadcast.įrom the beginning, Tom also has to deal with Mammy Two Shoes (voiced by Lillian Randolph), amammy African-American domestic housemaid based on Hattie McDaniel. Mammy Two Shoes, the owner of Tom, who made many appearances in the 1940s and early 1950s Tom and Jerry shorts, as seen in 1948's Old Rockin' Chair Tom. Butch also battles with Tom over Toodles Galore and her affections in a couple of shorts including the 1946 short, Springtime for Thomas and the 1951 short Casanova Cat. Thus costumed, Tom couldn't help but be a figure of fun-both for Butch and his gang, and for Jerry. In his first appearance, however, Butch was an antagonist, tormenting Tom after Tom's young girl owner treated him like a baby-to the point of dressing Tom up in a diaper, a bonnet, and pink paw mittens. Butch is the leader of the alley cat bullies who usually help Tom catch Jerry (although a very few times, he does however become enraged when Tom's offense between him and Jerry has gone far enough).

His character, however (along with the character of Toodles Galore), first appeared in the 1941 MGM short The Alley Cat, directed by Hugh Harman.
