It's October and the leaves are changing color here. The cold is coming...sigh...I'm more of a warm weather person. So, to bring a little warmth in this cooling down season I've added a section for mobile phone ringtones. Yup, I'm making ringtones from Tom and Jerry sounds. Now, before you get all excited there is a small catch: only iPhone ringtones at the moment. There are a lot of phones out there, I know, but I'm starting with one who's format I already know. I'm going to do some more research and see about narrowing down some more ubiquitous formats for ringtones and then add those to the site. This should be interesting.
So, for those iPhone users, head over to the ringtones page and download some tones.

It still boggles the mind that it's September 3rd. The summer seemed to have flown by. Speaking of time flying, it's been about a month since list I updated.
This month's update is a good on. I have uploaded about 20 sound files! That's a lot! I got sound bytes for you from "Little Runaway" (sounds page 2), The Framed Cat, The Duck Doctor (sounds page 4).
Also I've added 2 new links to the links section: Our friends over at shorToons have a Twitter account, so you if you want to follow them go here: http://twitter.com/shortoons . Also for some nifty games, though none Tom and Jerry related, check out Nickelodeon's 3d Games.
I've been hunting around for information to the rumored Tom and Jerry movie that is supposedly in the works, but information is non-existent. If I hear anything I'll be sure to post that information.
Ah August, a wonderful month for me. Birthdays and Anniversaries! Yippy. Anyway, you are not here for that, but for things pertaining to Tom and Jerry. So this latest update to the is some new sounds! I've been debating about this update for a while, but I can't see a reason not to put them up since the audio track was restored to His Mouse Friday on the Spotlight DVDs. So, now that you know which cartoon I have sounds from, head over here to grab the sound bytes.
Enjoy!
So today I had some time to upload some new sounds. I've added 5 sound bytes from "Love that Pup". You can find the new sounds on page 2 of the sounds library.
Enjoy!
So it's been almost a month. I've not much in the way of updates today, save that I have a couple more sounds that I'm going to be putting up in the next week. I think you'll like them.
I stumbled upon this site a while ago and I want to share this with those that want to draw Tom: How to Draw Tom the Cat from Tom and Jerry
Enjoy!
Nothing spectacular to report today, the 25th of June. I just added a bit of info on the music of the Chuck Jones era of Tom and Jerry. Mostly just added who wrote the music for each specific cartoon, no greater details than that.
Many thanks to Platon for sending me the info!
It's Father's Day and the first day of summer! YAY! So on this joyous occasion I've made a little update, more of an addition if you will. I've added sounds from "Hic-cup Pup". I thought it fitting since Spike's a dad that is really looking after his boy, caring for him and protecting him. Really deep stuff in a cartoon if you think about it for a while. Buy I digress. Enjoy the sounds, they are on page 2 of the sounds library.
In other news, all's still quite on the proposed Tom and Jerry MMO and on the live action movie. There has been little news that I've seen or heard about, but I'll keep looking.
Also, this Tuesday brings us the release of the Chuck Jones era collection:
And those that were boggled by the release of Tom and Jerry's Greatest Chases Vol 2, here's another head scratcher: Tom and Jerry's Greatest Chases Vol 3.
I got an email the other day and found a couple news article to corroborate it and I'm still trying to wrap my brain around it. It appears that there is going to be a Tom and Jerry MMOG in the works. Let that sink in for a sec...I'm still trying to figure out how that is going to work. Anyway, here's yesterdays press release:

I'll see if I can get some more information and I'll let you all know more.
Sorry for the lack of updates. Too many distractions lately. I'll trying to get something newsworthy up soon.
I've been trying to dig up any information on the Tom and Jerry movie that was announced in January. Aside from the original article in Variety I've not heard a blasted thing. So if anyone has any information, we'd all would like to know.
It has been a really long, long time since I've updated the Tom and Jerry sounds page. I added only one today...it's on page 3 of the sounds. The sound byte is from Smarty Cat where Butch is mimicking Spike's angry bark, all the while Spike is standing behind him. Anyway, now that I have the proper tools to get sound bytes from the cartoons I plan on adding a few more sounds. So keep an eye out.
