Spike and Tyke

Spike and Tyke

"Spike & 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.

The "Spike & Tyke" 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 cartoon studio was shut down in 1957, and Hanna and Barbera would move on to television animation production success with their own Hanna-Barbera Productions.

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 in the "Tom and Jerry" segments. Spike and Tyke are voiced by Dick Gautier and Patric Zimmerman, respectively.

Spike and Tyke also served as the inspiration for "Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy", a segment of Hanna-Barbera's "The Quick Draw McGraw Show".
