Tooniversary: Give & Tyke (1957)

 Spike & Tyke were spun off from the Tom & Jerry shorts, but were only given two of their own before MGM shut their animation studio later in 1957.

In "Give & Tyke", a neighborhood stray (Daws Butler impersonating Art Carney) steals Spike's collar & license ID. Chaos follows.

Edit, 3/31/25: Had to change the video again.


Conflicting sources listed Bill Thompson as the original voice of Spike, while others said it was under-appreciated, under-credited Billy Bletcher. Either way, Butler took over in "Scat Cats".

Rating: B.
