Spike and Tyke
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spike and Tyke was a short-lived theatrical animated short subject series, based upon the bulldog father-and-son team from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Tom and Jerry cartoons. Only two films were made in this spin-off series, Give and Tyke and Scat Cats, both released in 1957, and produced in CinemaScope and Technicolor. Both cartoons were produced and directed by Tom and Jerry creators William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, and were among the last of the original MGM theatrical cartoons made. The Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer animation studio was shut down in 1957, and William Hanna and Joseph Barbera would move on to television animation production.
Spike was voiced by Billy Bletcher, and later Daws Butler. Tyke did not talk in these theatrical shorts, but did speak on the FOX television show Tom and Jerry Kids Show, for which the duo appeared in their own segments, and occasionally with Tom and Jerry. Spike and Tyke are voiced respectively by Dick Gautier and Patric Zimmerman in Tom and Jerry Kids' Spike and Tyke segment.
Spike and Tyke also served as the inspiration for Hanna-Barbera Productions' Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy television cartoons.
