How it feels

This is a short cartoon from 1932 starring a human comedy team named Tom and Jerry. One is tall and thin, the other short and plump. They sing, dance, and get into silly situations with gags and musical effects.

What happens

Tom and Jerry, also known as Dick and Larry in Official Films cartoons, produced by Amadee Van Beuren, is a series of short cartoons released by RKO Radio Pictures between 1931 and 1933. Each cartoon placed them in a new situation or occupation; the pair sang, danced and used musical effects and gags. The characters are not related to MGM's later cat‑and‑mouse team; instead they are a human comedy team: a tall, thin character (Tom) and a short, plump partner (Jerry) – a combination animation historians describe as “Mutt and Jeff-ish”.
