SPIKE AND TYKE TOM AND JERRY FREE

Spike's relationships with Tom and Jerry have varied from time to time, but essentially Spike has little affection for Tom Cat, who seems always to be disrupting his life, causing trouble, antagonizing Tyke or all of the above. In Tom and Jerry Kids, Tyke has a speaking role for the first time, aside from traditional dog noises he expressed in the prior films.

Spike and Tyke's characters, provide a model of father and son behavior, with Spike spending much of his free time taking Tyke on father-son outings, teaching him the facts of life for dogs and guarding him diligently when they are sleeping. Tyke does not speak for most of the earlier installments. Spike is a cute, sweet, happy and innocent puppy. Spike was voiced by Bletcher until 1949, from which point he was voiced by Daws Butler, with a thick New Yorker accent similar to Jimmy Durante's.Īfter Dog Trouble, Spike appeared as a solo guest in Tom and Jerry cartoons for the next several years his son Tyke was introduced in 1949, with Love That Pup. Spike made his first appearance in the 1942 Tom and Jerry cartoon Dog Trouble, and his first speaking role was in The Bodyguard (1944), where he was voiced by Billy Bletcher. However, Spike's character also has a very stern, and fierce side, for occasions such as when he is defending his son Tyke. Spike (who goes by different names in a few episodes - Killer for four episodes, Butch for two episodes, and Bulldog for one) is portrayed as an American bulldog, who is generally friendly and amiable, and a loving father to his son Tyke in several episodes.

Spike and Tyke are fictional characters from the Tom and Jerry animated film series, created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.
