All right here, I'm here to post my second chapter of this crossover. This one, well, I admit this may not be a good idea, but this is the only idea I can came up with. If you are a fan of cartoon history, enjoy. If you think it's boring, don't read this chapter and leave no flames on the reviews!
ToonFanJoey: OK, If you have suggestions, leave it on the reviews. I have problems in PMing since I can't login through the browser, which made it hard for me to see the complete messages if it's too long.
Also, I'm sorry if you don't like this part, but in my stories Sweetie is less meaner to Furrball than you portrayed her in your stories. However, your stories about Furrball never got treated fairly DOES give me an idea on one of my future stories, spoiler part: 1) Sure there are some people like Furrball and other toon cats, but some trolls really hate cats and want them get unfairly treated, and 2) ALL TOON CATS UNITE!
Also, I hope you can continue on your other stories, especially those early ones you had done, I can't wait!
The next day is Monday, meaning it's a start of a new school week. However, it seemed to be something new is added as all of the Timy Toons found theit 1st class is a new class named "Body Acting Arts".
"Great, a new day and we got stuck in a new class which we never learned before." Plucky groaned as he took out his notebooks from his locket.
"Despite it is, Principal Bugs said it's gonna be new teachers to teach this class." Buster said.
"Wait, did you add an 's' after the single word 'teacher'?" Calamity's card signed.
"So does that mean there'll be more than one teacher to teach this class?" Sweetie asked.
"Sounds so interesting." Furrball, on the other hand, shrugged, "I wonder who they will be, though. Any ideas, Feef?"
"Non." His, now girlfriend, Fifi la Fume, "But I do hope we will get along with them, at least better than Monty here."
"Hey!" Montana Max, on the other hand, feeling a bit offended, "Though I do wonder which dope will teach this class." He thought later as he whispered to Elmyra, whom is his girlfriend now, "You do hope they're some cute animals, do you?"
A/N: Yup, I'm a Furrball x Fifi fan, and also I like the shipping of Monty and Elmyra.
"I do, my Monty-wonty!" Elmyra giggled, "I can't wait to hug them into pieces!"
"Oh boy." Babs rolled her eyes at this and felt sorry for the new teachers if this would be true, then she looked at the script desperately, "AAAHH! The script was cut deliberately! I can't find out who the new teachers are through this!"
"Like, I can't sense this through my fortune telling, either!" Shirley sighed, "Well, at least I hope they are not from that Looney Tunes Show or some junk, real junk!"
"Me not like that show! Me prefer Taz-Mania!" Dizzy grunted. Can't blame him though since Taz was played as a pet of Bugs... this is really weird. This was all cut when Gogo played his cuckoo-clock routine again, "Cuckoo! Cuckoo! If you're late for the class then you're cuckoo!"
A/N: No offense to Looney Tunes Show, it's just... despite there's good views inside, it's not my favorite Looney Tunes Media.
The Toonsters all went to the classroom and waited for their new class and new teachers. However, they found Bugs walked into the classroom.
"Eh, good morning, students." Bugs greeted.
"Morning, Bugs." All the toonsters greeted.
"So, before we started the class, I wanna tell you 'dat why we set this class today. Ya see, all of you, well except Furrball, Calamity and Little Beeper, can crack up some good jokes when you are talking on the show. However, as time passed, we started to realize that even looney toons like you also need to learn how to survive better when the budget is short and you are forced to speak little or go silence."
"Like I would fall into a situation like that, I'm rich enough!" Monty scoffed, "who do you think we are, old-fashioned ugly mimes like them?"
"HEY! WATCH IT!!" Furrball shouted, feeling quite offended (despite he can talk now), as Calamity and Little Beeper hold their card with the same words.
"OK, back to the topic. We all know there are a lot of toons making their fame through their body acts instead of languages, like Wile E. and Roadrunner, Shaun the Sheep, Pink Panther, or, the most famous duo in cartoon history, ever."
All of the toonsters gasped as they heard this, "No way! Do you mean..."
"Yup, now ladies and gentlemen, please give your most sincere applause to your teachers of the class, TOM AND JERRY!!" The toonsters gasped again and then applauded as the cat-and-mouse duo walked to the classroom, waved to them.
Tom wore a black professor's hat like the one he wore in "Professor Tom", while Jerry wore a black bow tie like the one in "Little School Mouse".
"Tom and Jerry?! The ones from MGM?!" Little Beeper's card signed as he showed a shocked face.
"You gotta be kidding!" Buster gasped.
"It wasn't on the script!" Babs also gasped.
"Wow, a cute kitty-witty and a cute mousie-wousie!" Elmyra shrieked in joy.
"Now that's what I call a twist." Hamton replied.
"BUT HOW?!" Plucky really couldn't believe his eyes that he even took them down to rub it clean, "They're NOT from Looney Tunes!"
"All right, be quiet for a while." Bugs offered, "Of course, I know you're gonna be surprised at this fact, but the truth is, after the show was finished, we thought it might be better for you to learn other cartoons' style and make great use of this. And also the other reason is, among us, Tom and Jerry's cartoons have the closet style to ours, so we decided to let 'em have a try first so 'dat you won't have trouble adapting this. Now, let's leave the class for them." Bugs concluded as he walked to the back of the classroom and sat down, also got himself a camera to take all of this down.
"Thanks, Bugs." Tom nodded with a smile as he turned to the toonsters, "Now, first thing, you don't mind us speaking now, do you?"
"Nope. Not at all." Furrball replied.
"Professor Wile E. also talks once for a while." Calamity's card signed.
"OK, now before we start the class. We wanna thank Bugs for giving us this chance to do it. This class, like he said before, is to make a funny act without verbal lines." Jerry said,"But since this day is our first day, we'd like to introduce the history about us two and our cartoons."
Many of toonsters cheered about this. Before this, they heard about the history about most of the Looney Tunes members but little to no about the history about them. So most of this part got their interest, though they also expected some part may be boring for them.
"Before we started our creation, we need to introduce our creators, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, or as we prefer to call them, Bill and Joe." said Jerry.
"It was all started in 1937 when Joe entered MGM, after the entrance, he learned that MGM wanna make a better improvement of their cartoons so they encouraged the artists to create new characters due to a lackstur series they based on a comic. During the same time, he met Bill, who was worked as a story guy and animator under his ol'pal Rudolf Ising." Tom replied as he drew two carticutures of his and Jerry's creators,
"The two of them quickly formed a partnership and started to pitch new ideas, soon they came up with a concept of 'two equal characters who are always in conflict with each other', at first their idea was about a fox and a hound until they settled on a cat and a mouse, thus we're created."
"Why not a duck and a rabbit?" Plucky replied.
"How are you gonna make conflicts between 'em?" Both Tom and Jerry deadpanned, "Sorry but you come to a wrong timeline, here is 1937, not 1951. And this is not WB, this is MGM, where cartoons style was not crazy yet." This caused a huge laughter from the others as Plucky felt embarrassed.
"On February 10th, 1940, our first cartoon, Puss Gets the Boot, was officially released onto theater circuits. At first, we thought we were only one-shot or at most two-shots, but neither of us predicted this huge success. People love us and we even got nominated by Oscar." said Jerry
"Wow, really?" Buster asked, "So which one won in the end that year?"
"The Milky Way, also an MGM cartoon but directed by Rudolf Ising." replied Tom, "Ising was actually the only one who was credited onscreen on our first cartoon, though he actually did nothing on it."
"By the way, another nominated cartoon that year was A Wild Hare, which was Bugs' theatrical debut." Jerry added a fact which made Bugs nodded with a smile.
"Since our huge success, Fred Quimby finally unwillingly to let Bill and Joe made more cartoons featuring us." Tom said as he made a groan.
"Like, Who was this Fred Quimby guy?" Shirley asked, "It sounds like you hate him or some junk."
"He was our studio head." said Jerry, "And no, we don't hate him, we just don't like this guy. He knew nothing about cartoon and he even had no sense of humor. He got a difficult relationship with most of the animators including Bill and Joe. Good riddance of him in 1955." He still remembered the day when Quimby retired, he, Tom and other MGM Toons were excited and they even held a party in the studio.
"Eh, at least he was better than that Selzer guy Bugs told us before." Buster replied, he and the other toonsters, mainly Fifi, Furrball, Sweetie and Dizzy had hated that guy ever since Bugs told them about him.
"Anyway, forget him. Our success made MGM really excited so they required new cartoons featuring us, and new names."
"Quoi?" Fifi asked, "These are not your names at first?"
"Actually, during our first cartoon, Tom's name was Jasper, while the production crew called me Jinx." Jerry replied, "So soon, one animator, Jack Carr came up with our current names from a kind of cocktail drink. Joe agreed on this idea since in 1931, he worked on a short-lived series featuring two human characters with the same names."
"Wait, did this cause conflicts?" Hamton asked.
"It did." Tom replied, "But they chose to accept this peacefully since the original two were getting forgotten, and ever since this, they had renamed themselves as Dick and Larry."
"I felt bad for them." said Babs.
"Yeah, so did we." said Tom.
"But good thing is they didn't hold a grudge against this." Jerry added, "And we established friendship with them and we're fans of their cartoons."
"Anyway, the studio finally gave our series a green-light, and our series continued." Jerry said, "In early cartoons, this cat was always the one made conflicts while I was the innocent one." He spit his tongue to Tom as he showed a projector with the scenes Tom making fun of him in, the scenes were respectively from "Puss Gets the Boot" "The Midnight Snack" "Dog Trouble" and "The Bowling Alley-Cat".
"That's harsh." Sweetie said as she sent a glare to Tom.
"Hey, you spooked me first in 'Fraidy Cat'!" Tom protested, "And you disturbed my sleep in 'The Night Before Christmas', yet I gave you a present at the beginning! Not to mention that you were the one who made trouble to me in later cartoons!"
"We were even." Jerry scoffed, "Plus, for us mice, how can you recognize a gift in a form of mousetrap?"
"Mousetrap is my nightmare." Lil' Sneezer shivered in fear.
"Back to the topic. After the leaving of Harman and Ising, and the arrival of Tex Avery, our series soon developed a quicker, more energetic, and somehow more violent style. Bill and Joe also made minor adjustices on our appearances." said Tom as he showed some early appearances of him, which made him more looked like a real cat, "With time goes, we had became one of the most famous stars."
"Yeah? Well, show me some evidence or I won't believe it." Plucky huffed.
"During our years, 13 cartoons of ours went to Oscar nomiantions and 7 went on to win." Tom replied simply.
"Oh yeah? Well, that didn't... Wait, WHAT?!" Plucky gasped in shock. In Warner Bros, only Bugs, Sylvester, Pepé, Tweety and Speedy had got this honor once (Sylvester got twice) respectively, and Daffy always whins that he never got one.
"We also made guest appearances in two live-action movies, 'Anchors Aweigh' And 'Dangerous When Wet'." Jerry added.
"I remembered the first film!" Babs gasped as she, Shirley and Fifi went to starstruck role, "Gene Kelly was so AMAZING!" The boys merely rolled their eyes.
"Anyway, despite our cartoons were successful, they also required some great budget." Tom explained, "For example, it took six to seven weeks to finish one cartoon featuring us."
All the toonsters gasped at this shock.
"Well, Bill and Joe did want to make them more perfect." Jerry shrugged, "And during the working, they never relied on the scripts, instead they worked on the stories as they draw scenes. Well, Joe was the one to draw while Bill was the one to come up with gags."
"Kinda like they sang 'we have no scripts' in Animaniacs." said Buster, "But on the hand, they never drew the story either."
"Well, that was a really nice time for us until 1957." Tom groaned, "It was on May 15, when we were preparing for our next cartoon, MGM suddenly sent us a phone call that they would shut down our cartoon studio."
"What? Why?" All the toonsters asked in shock.
"The development of television." said Jerry, "because them, less people would chose to go to the cinemas, and MGM lost a lot of money. They tried to publish our new cartoons, but soon they found our old cartoons could earn more money than the new ones. So they shut down the studio."
"What the heck they were thinking?!" Plucky asked.
"Cancelling the show they were devoted to and even prepared to film the next, that's unfair." Hamton, remembering his star cartoon was disturbed by Buster, Babs and their Hawaiian episode, grunted.
"So, what did you do after the studio was closed?" Elmyra asked.
"After this, Bill and Joe formed their own studio, while we were, well, wandering." Tom said, "And attended a lot of cartoon show-ups."
"A good thing was in the 1960s, MGM finally realized our potentions, so they finally decided to make more cartoons featuring us." Jerry smiled but soon he frowned again, "Though, the beginning wasn't so pleasing."
"Why?" Sneezer asked.
"At first, they hired Gene Deitch and his studio, Rembrandt Films, where was far in Czech. Don't get me wrong, Gene was actually a splendid director and he won an Oscar before, it's just..."
"It's just what?" Monty asked in an impatient tone.
"He never learn our cartoons style." Tom grunted, "He thought our cartoons are too 'violent and unnesscesary', but he never realize that his cartoons were more violent."
Jerry then set his projector and showed some scenes of the Gene Detich's Tom and Jerry shorts, all of these scenes were about Tom chasing Jerry with far more violent ways and Tom got treated unfairly.
"What is this all about?!" All the toonsters gasped, "Th..th.. this is so..."
"Disgusting!" Hamton groaned.
"Despicable!" Plucky added.
"Boring!" Buster also shouted.
"And like, he thought the original ones were violent?!" Shirley groaned, "How ironic or some junk!"
"Yet they were commercial success." what Tom said really made the toonsters gasped again and couldn't believe their ears, "Yup, they made big bucks for MGM. But of course most of the fans were not fond of this, so in 1962, they ended the contract."
"Good riddance." Babs replied.
"And then in 1963, Chuck Jones arrived." Jerry then continued their history.
"CHUCK JONES?!" Babs squealed as she quickly turned herself into a caricature of the famous director before turning herself back, "And he started to direct your cartoons?!"
"Yes." Both Tom and Jerry nodded, "Like Gene, Chuck also had trouble adapting our style at first, but thanks to those cartoons he made on Wile E. and Road Runner, he soon found a way to make our cartoons funny. Actually, you can see many original gags from those cartoons he made in WB, also the same gags you learned from your class."
Tom then showed some scenes about the one he didn't realise he wasn't on the ground but sky until he looked down before he fell. The toonsters soon remembered this since Elmer Fudd once taught them about this before in the episode "Her Wacky Highness", then they watched some other scenes of the Chuck Jones Tom and Jerry cartoons and laughed at the comedies.
"Man, that little bulldog reminds me of Dizzy!" Furrball laughed.
"Dizzy like that dog!" Dizzy agreed.
"Yeah, at least we enjoyed our time better with Chuck than Gene. Unfortunately, this didn't last long." Tom sighed, "In 1967, they shut our studio down, again."
"What?!" Plucky gasped.
"This is UNFAIR!!" Babs shouted as she went dramatic, again.
"Well, a good thing Chuck did was he put our old cartoons on TV, and during this, he and his team made some work to reanimate and re-record those scenes towards racial stereotypes." Jerry then added.
"Good thing they did." The one who made a comment on this was Mary Melody, as a African-American herself, she always dislikes those scenes despite she knew she couldn't change this fact, "Those were hurtful!"
"At least fans were still able to watch our cartoons on TV, in 1975, we finally reunited with Bill and Joe as they decided to make our own TV show, but it wasn't a huge success because it was premiered on Kids' TV and they don't want violence." Tom said.
"In 1980, another studio, Filmation, tried to make another show featuring us. It wasn't a success either because the animation was too rough. Though a good thing they did was bringing our ol co-workers in MGM back." Jerry added.
"And in 1986, Turner had bought most of the MGM cartoons, including ours was purchased by Turner. And 4 years later, the same time when your show was on, our new show was on, too."
Suddenly they did some spin changes into some kid versions of themselves and cheered, "THE TOM AND JERRY KIDS SHOW!"
Everyone gasped on this change as Jerry suddenly turned on a radio and it played the show's theme song as he danced and Tom suddenly turned himself into a one-cat band and play music.
(Beginning music)
It's the Tom and Jerry Kids!
Gotta be there
where all the action there is
Tom and Jerry Kids!
The Tom and Jerry Kids New Show!
(YEAH!)
Big tail, little tail, chasing all around!
(Tom then started to play a trumpet)
It's a cat and mouse game
that never let you down!
Well, there's Spike and Tyke,
Droopy and Dripple.
Come on and have some fun, oh it's so simple!
(The toonsters now began to sing, too)
Talkin' bout the Tom and Jerry Kids
Just come on and be
where all the action there is
Tom and Jerry Kids!
The Tom and Jerry Kids!
The Tom and Jerry Kids New Show!
All of the toonsters cheered about this as Tom and Jerry spin-changed back to their old selves. "Well, this is our best TV show we've ever made." Tom smiled.
"Until 1992." Jerry groaned when he remembered that, "that disaster."
"Our first movie was on, and we had hated that ever since that was started." replied Jerry, "it didn't like our usual slapstick's comedy, and those later bunches of direct-to-video films made better than this."
"Ever since the Tom and Jerry Kids Show, our TV shows weren't getting better." Tom sighed, "Like the Tom and Jerry Tales, and the now Tom and Jerry Show, which got a neutral review in general. Heck, it's now say that we are going to to make a new live-action movie. And I can sense that will be another disaster!"
"But despite now our fame wasn't a light than before, we're proud that we've been company with many people at their childhood. They were always glad to watch our cartoons during the young age, and we're glad that we have them." Finally, they showed a smile, which earned a great applause from the toonsters.
"That's so AMAZING!" Babs cheered.
"Yeah, I can see why Bugs decided to call you in." Buster smiled.
"Oh please, masters!" Plucky suddenly hugged Tom's legs and begged, "You gotta teach me these moves you have so that I can beat those rabbits! Please! Please!"
"Look like someone had given up his pride." Buster chuckled, "Sorry 'bout him."
"Like, calm down, Plucky!" Shirley tried to pull Plucky away.
"Hey, Mr. Tom, Mr. Jerry!" Sneezer called, "I wonder aside from this class, will you teach other classes?"
"We will teach music." Jerry replied, "And also another class where you need to learn how to handle a partner who's different from you."
However, unbeknownst to Tom, Monty suddenly pulled a mean prank by placing a pair of roller skates under Tom's feet and pushed him, sending him directly to Elmyra!
"Ooh! My Monty-wonty sent this kitty-witty to me!" Elmyra giggled about this as she hugged/squeezed Tom so tightly, and then...
"CRASH!" was the sound comes from Tom's body.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Tom then screamed as he struggled to break free from Elmyra, then he grabbed Jerry and dragged his body (literally) to get out of here.
Meanwhile, as Bugs showed the others the tape of the whole class.
"Sufferin' Succotash! These two are potential!" Sylvester gasped in surprise, "You were right of making them come here, Bugs."
"Yeah, I know doc. I know." Bugs smiled as he showed this tape to the others.
OK, now this is finished, again no offense to the Looney Tunes Show, the Gene Detich TJ cartoons and the movie, I don't hate them, it's just not my favorite works among them. (Actually, I love the original Tom and Jerry Movie)
Sorry if your think this is kinda rush. Also, if you don't like the part of Tom and Jerry having too much lines, in next chapter I'll try my best to cut it short. Also, next chapters will be the interactions between Tom or Jerry and focus on one or two Tiny Toons characters.
