Surely a lot of us enjoyed cartoons when we were young. Some of these memorable cartoons have stayed with us, even as grown-ups. Tom and Jerry surely ranks as one of the most iconic classic cartoons of the past, the two always seeming to get into all sorts of funny and looney situations. It was a cat (Tom) and mouse (Jerry) game, with the cat apparently mostly on the losing side. The animated series was created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera in 1940. Most young people won’t even bother with animations from this era, but a Japanese artist has cultivated inspiration from this classic cartoon. Taku Inoue recreates the animated pair’s disastrous but comical “accidents,” with Tom usually as the recipient. Examples such as Tom the cat flattened from sliding underneath a door, being twisted by a bigger cat, and getting shovel-faced after getting whacked by a shovel that was stepped on, is recreated by the artist from the cartoon. There are several other creations copied from the animated series, and some also depict the mouse Jerry in seemingly painful and ridiculous situations. Why the Japanese artist chose to depict the humorous situations of the cartoon characters is not known. What is for sure though, is that he surely must be a fan of the show, and would like to share his experience via his sculptures. His work has further immortalized the vintage and unforgettable cartoon by Hanna-Barbera.
