I believe that any "manga house" is read countless times, after all, we have been watching anime since we were young. Of course, today's children are much happier than when we were young, and the editor watched black-and-white TV sets when he was a child, and he still remembers that the TV brand at that time was called "Panda". Why is it called Panda TV, Presumably needless to say that everyone understands. Because of this, there were only a limited number of cartoons that could be seen at that time, but even so, there were still some very classic cartoons. For example, today we are going to talk about "Tom and Jerry", presumably this funny anime has been seen by many people, although the plot tells the story of Tom Cat and Jerry the Mouse, but no matter when you watch it, it can always make people laugh. Many people may say, don't tell me "Tom and Jerry" because I've been watching it since I was a kid and every plot detail is familiar. Is this really the case? Tom Cat 12 versions all know count me lost!
To say that this anime, it is indeed a bit long ago. The first "Tom and Jerry" aired in 1940, so the originator image of Tom's cat is the image of 1940, and it looks a bit thick and cute at that time. Later, because it was very popular after the broadcast, it ushered in an image upgrade in 1942, which is the gray and gray appearance in the picture above.
This upgrade is not good, in any case, "Tom and Jerry" is also one of the earlier anime IP. So in 1945, the image of Tom Cat was upgraded again, and this image is more familiar to everyone, because we often see you. Then in 1950, Tom Cat was upgraded again, the same gray, but obviously different.
However, the big changes are in 1955 and 1958, especially the image of Tom Cat in 1958, which seems to have changed a lot. How to say it? This blue hue actually doesn't look so good, mainly because we are all used to seeing the gray look of Tom cat, and this sudden color change obviously feels a little uncomfortable.
Because of this, in 1961, the image tone of Tom Cat was changed to a certain extent. It can be clearly seen that the tone of this blue has faded a lot, and perhaps the creator also feels that this is more in line with the audience's taste. After all, the changes in 1958 were too big, but the image did not last long, and Tom ushered in another upgrade of his own journey. In 1963, Tom turned gray again, only this gray was different from the previous gray.
Because Tom has always been popular, although he is often bullied by Jerry in the series. But as the protagonist, it was upgraded in 1975, this time it became light gray, the most obvious of which was the ears, which were pink ears. After 5 years of using this image, in 1980 Tom finally turned brown, perhaps the creator thought that the cat should still have the appearance of a cat. This image looks very different from the previous one, but the white cat's claw is still very conspicuous.
Of course, the Tom cat we see now is mainly the image of 2006 and 2014. These two images are probably the most familiar to everyone, because these two images are often broadcast on TV. Have you seen so many versions of Tom Cat? So don't say you've watched Tom and Jerry, because people who know all 12 versions of it can't find a few!
