Tom and Jerry: In The Dog House ()
Directed by
Overview
There are a mixture of vintage shorts dating back to the 1940s and newer ones from Tom and Jerry Tales (2006-08). Young viewers are likely to be unconcerned with what era each short came from. Older viewers will appreciate the deeply nostalgic pleasure of revisiting the older cartoons. As hinted at in the title, this collection’s theme involves dogs. Specifically Spike the bulldog and his son Tyke, who provide plenty of trouble for Tom and Jerry. Though not included here, Spike made his Tom and Jerry debut in 1942’s “Dog Trouble.” Also missing from this set is Tyke’s first appearance, which was in 1949 with “Love That Pup.” Despite not being a comprehensive collection of Spike and Tyke appearances, the DVD focuses heavily on shorts involving one or both of these canines.
