“Some of Tom and Jerry’s most entertaining moments take place when Spike the Dog is in the mix. This DVD is a collection that features some of the funniest, most action-packed scenes the three characters have shared,” said Mary Ellen Thomas, WHV Executive Marketing Director of Non-Theatrical Franchise. She added, “Tom & Jerry: In the Dog House is a must-have DVD for Tom and Jerry fans of all ages and for anyone who appreciates great animation.”
Originally created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, Tom and Jerry centers on the never-ending rivalry between Tom the cat and Jerry the mouse. The plots of each short usually center on Tom’s attempts to capture Jerry. Jerry however, is clever and quick on his feet so Tom hardly ever manages to catch him. The original series is notable for having won the Academy Award® for Best Short Subject: Cartoon seven times.
