Tom and Jerry, 88 Episode - Pet Peeve (1954)
- 7 years ago
The short three-minute fragment from series is the 88th one-reel animated Tom and Jerry short, directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and produced by Fred Quimby with music by Scott Bradley. The cartoon was animated by Kenneth Muse Ed Barge and Irven Spence, with backgrounds by Robert Gentle. It was released on November 20, 1954 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
This was the first Tom and Jerry cartoon to be released in CinemaScope and the second to be produced in the format which widened the cinema screen to a more expansive aspect ratio to compete against the growing popularity of television.
The cartoon is also the first to feature an owner of the house that is not Mammy Two Shoes, the African-American maid voiced by Lillian Randolph from the first cartoon Puss Gets the Boot (1940) up to and including 1952's Push-Button Kitty. Instead, Mammy was replaced with a white married couple.
