Screwy and Sammy Squirrel

Screwy Squirrel is a cartoon character, an anthropomorphic squirrel created by Tex Avery for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, generally considered the wackiest of the screwball cartoon characters of the 1940s, which included Warner Bros.'s Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, Disney's Donald Duck and Aracuan Bird, Terrytoon's Heckle and Jeckle and Walter Lantz's Woody Woodpecker. Screwy, who goes by Screwball, is a red squirrel who can do almost anything to almost anyone: he pulls objects out of thin air, double himself, and constantly breaks the fourth wall while uttering a characteristic cackling laugh, which sounded as "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" He gets a chase between himself and a simple but agitated bird dog called Meathead.
Screwy also has another squirrel named Sammy the gray squirrel and they are both voiced by Wally Maher.

Spike and Tyke

Here are the other two characters from Tom and Jerry.

Spike and Tyle are fictional characters from the Tom and Jerry series, created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Spike is a stern but occasionally dumb American bulldog who is particularly disapproving of catss, but a softie when it comes to mice, and later, his son Tyke. In the shorts, Jerry would often try to get Tom in trouble with Spike making him a shoo-in for beating from the bulldog. Spike has a few weaknesses that Tom tries to capitalize upon: his possessiveness about his bone and his ticklishness. He made his first appearance in the 1942 Tom and Jerry cartoon Dog Trouble, and his first speaking role was in 1944's The Bodyguard, where he was voiced by Billy Bletcher up until 1949, from which point he was voiced by Daws Butler. Tyke is known as a cute, sweet, happy, and a loveable pup. He is Spike's son and they make the father and son, with Spike spending much of his free time comforting his son, taking him out or teaching him the facts of life of being a dog. In Tom and Jerry Kids, Tyke has a speaking role and was the first time that Tom and Jerry fans were able to hear Tyke speak.

Tom and Jerry

This is the two characters I like to tell you about.

Tom and Jerry is a series of theatrical animated cartoon shorts created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, centering on a rivalry between a cat and a mouse whose chases include slapstick comedy. Tom is a gray and white domestic shorthair cat. He usually lives a pampered life, although the characters usually live in several lifestyles, while Jerry is a small brown mouse who always lives in close proximity to him. The plots on each short usually center on Tom's numerous attempts to capture Jerry and the mayhem and destruction that ensues. Tom rarely succeeds in catching Jerry, mainly because of Jerry's cleverness, cunning abilities, and luck. Jerry tries to outsmart Tom while setting a booby trap things like axes, hammers, firearms, explosives, and poison when he tries to murder him.

Droopy Dog

Welcome to the MGM page. Here is the first character I will talk about.

Droopy is an animated cartoon character: an anthropomorphic dog with a droopy face, hence the name Droopy. He was created in 1943 by Tex Avery for theatrical cartoon shorts produced by the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio. Essentially the polar opposite of Avery's other famous MGM character, the loud and wacky Screwy Squirrel, Droopy moves slowly and lethargically, speaks in a lowly monotone voice, and though hardly an imposing character is shrewd enough to outwit his enemies. When finally roused to anger, often by a bad guy laughing heartly at him, Droopy is capable of beating adversaries twice his size with a comical thrashing (You know what? That makes me mad!") He also saunters into view, looking at the audience and declares, "Hello all you happy people...and you know what? I'm the hero." in his lazy look on his face.

The original voice of Droopy was provided by Bill Thompson.
