OH TANNENBAUM


The tree's the thing..

Tom (the cat) is all over the pan background in this scene. As a matter of fact, it was virtually impossible to completely eliminate him. The animators never revealed the entire bike. Similiarly, the red gift box on the far right is animated on a cel, and while it bounces around a bit, it never moves out of the way completely.

So... here's the entire pan shot, re-created with Tom and the red box remaining!

The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers



From MGM's NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

MGM's NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS (1941)


Here's one of our rare excursions into non-Disney artwork!

Tom and Jerry celebrated Christmas together in MGM's NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS (1941).

The level of artistry at MGM was tremendous, as evidenced by this lavish recreated pan background.

(And the character animation of Tom and Jerry was stylish, entertaining and endearing.)
