Changes: Mammy Two Shoes

Revision as of 23:40, 3 May 2020

Mammy Two Shoes (also known as Mammy, Mammy Two-Shoes, or Dinah in the 1940s Tom and Jerry comics) is a recurring disappeared in 19 of MGM's Tom and Jerry cartoons. She is a heavy-set, middle-aged African-American woman who often has to deal with the mayhem generated by the lead characters, but whether she is the owner of the home or merely the house-keeper is never really made clear. She is based on the "Mammy" archetype that was prevalent throughout the U.S. in the 19th and early 20th century.

As a partially-seen character, she was famous for never showing her head and face (although it is briefly visible in Saturday Evening Puss and Part Time Pal). Mammy's appearances have often been edited out, dubbed, or re-animated as a slim white woman in television broadcasts, since her character is a mammy archetype now often regarded as racist.

Bio

Personality

Appearance

With dark brown skin (later changed to an ivory-colored skin tone) she is distinguished by her usual, sleeveless dress with frills in the shoulders, a white apron with frills in the trim, old, yellow socks (often seen with some kind of suspender holding it up), and red slippers. The color of her attire often changes, but the pieces remain virtually the same. These colors are yellow, orange, green, blue, and red. She is usually seen holding a broom. She also wears a red polka dot bandana on her head.

She is of mid-stature with dark skin, slightly rotund with a large bust and thick hands.

Theatrical Tom and Jerry cartoons

PDVD 002-1- — Mammy Two Shoes, in a scene from **Saturday Evening Puss**.

Mammy first appeared in Puss Gets the Boot, the first Tom and Jerry cartoon (except Tom was called "Jasper"). She always referred to Tom as his given name Thomas and almost always used "is" in conjunction with a pronoun ("is you" and "I is"). The character went on to make many appearances through 1952's Push-Button Kitty. William Hanna and Joseph Barbera initially portrayed Mammy as the maid of the house, with the real owners unknown to the viewers. Later, Hanna and Barbera seemed to suggest, through dialogue and occasional behavior, that the house was Mammy's own.

Censorship, discontinuation, and callbacks

Drgterr4 — Mammy Two Shoes attacking Tom.

Director Gene Deitch stated that the "retiring" of Mammy's character was one of the changes that he felt he needed to make for the 13 shorts produced by Rembrandt Films.^[1]

MGM Animation/Visual Arts, under the supervision of Chuck Jones, created replacement characters for Mammy in the Tom and Jerry cartoons featuring her for television. These versions used rotoscoping techniques to replace Mammy on-screen with either a stocky white woman (in most shorts) or a thin white woman (in Saturday Evening Puss); Randolph's voice on the soundtracks was replaced by an Irish-accented (or generic young adult in Puss) voice performed by June Foray.^[2]

Three years after Turner Entertainment acquired Tom & Jerry from MGM, the cartoons featuring Mammy were re-recorded to remove Mammy Two Shoes' use of potentially offensive dialect. Lillian Randolph's voice was dubbed over by Thea Vidale. The re-recorded versions of the cartoons would air on Turner's Cartoon Network-related cable channels, and have at times turned up on DVD. However, some European TV showings of these cartoons, especially the UK, as well as the US DVD release of Tom and Jerry Spotlight Collection, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Academy Awards Animation Collection, and Tom and Jerry: The Deluxe Anniversary Collection and the US DVD and Blu-ray releases of Tom and Jerry Golden Collection, retain Randolph's original voice. The Region 2 Complete Collectors Edition DVD boxset has Vidale's voice on the first DVD and Randolph in a number of the episodes after that (such as A Mouse in the House and Mouse Cleaning). As of 2011, most cartoons that featured Mammy-Two Shoes are rarely, if ever, aired on Cartoon Network and Boomerang. They are also unavailable on the Boomerang Streaming service. However, some cartoons such as The Lonesome Mouse and Mouse Cleaning were already banned due to scenes that are already controversial. This even affects cartoons such as Puss N' Toots and The Mouse Comes to Dinner, in which Mammy-Two Shoes makes small, unimportant cameos. This hurts the latter more as the episode is already edited to remove her due to Jerry dressing up as an Indian.

A white woman named "Mrs. Two Shoes" appeared in some episodes of Tom and Jerry Tales. She had most aspects of Mammy Two Shoes' personality, a similar look, and a similar name.

+==Censorship, discontinuation, and callbacks==
-Mammy was originally voiced by well-known African-American character actress Lillian Randolph. In the 1960s, the MGM animation cartoon, by then under the supervision of Chuck Jones, created censored versions of the ''Tom & Jerry'' cartoons featuring Mammy for television. These versions used rotoscoping techniques to replace Mammy on-screen with a thin white woman, and the voice on the soundtracks was replaced by an Irish-accented voice performed by white actress June Foray. The original versions of the cartoons were reinstated when Turner Broadcasting acquired ownership of the ''Tom & Jerry'' property. But in 1992, the cartoons featuring Mammy were edited again; this time, to replace Lillian Randolph's voice with that of Thea Vidale, whose dialogue was redone to remove the Mammy character's use of potentially offensive dialect. These versions of the cartoons are aired to this day on Turner's Cartoon Network-related cable channels, and have turned up on DVD as well. However, some European TV showings of these cartoons, especially the UK, retain Randolph's original voice. The Region 2 ''Complete Collectors Edition'' DVD boxset has Vidale's voice on the first DVD and Randolph in a number of the episodes after that (such as ''A Mouse in the House'' and ''Mouse Cleaning'').

-From 1954's ''[[Pet Peeve]]'', Mammy disappeared from ''Tom and Jerry''; the owners of the animals' house became a young, white, middle-class couple named Joan and George, and starting with 1955's ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Flying_Sorceress The Flying Sorceress]'', the audience was able to see these owners' heads.

-In 1961, when [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_L._Snyder Rembrandt Films] began producing ''Tom and Jerry'' shorts, the owner of the house became a corpulent white man. The character was designed by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Deitch Gene Deitch], who recycled the design from his [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrytoons Terrytoons] character Clint Clobber.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammy_Two_Shoes#cite_note-1 [2]]</sup> This new owner, whose face would turn bright red, and often derived great glee in doing so, was more graphically brutal in punishing Tom's mistakes as compared to Mammy Two Shoes, such as beating and thrashing Tom repeatedly, searing his face with a grill and forcing Tom to drink an entire carbonated beverage. "Clobber" (for want of a better name) was introduced in ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_and_Outing Down and Outing]'' as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisherman fisherman] who owned Tom as well as their house. "Clobber" later appeared in ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Steaks High Steaks]'' as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chef chef], and ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorry_Safari Sorry Safari]'' as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter hunter] before being dropped.

-Later, Tom's owner varied, with a housewife similar to the re-edited Mammy appearing in the later Deitch short ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddies_Thicker_Than_Water Buddies Thicker Than Water]'' and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-to-video direct-to-DVD] film ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_and_Jerry:_The_Fast_and_the_Furry Tom and Jerry: The Fast and the Furry]''.

Though keeping her buxom, overweight build, tough personality, Southern accent and tendency to call Tom "Thomas," Mammy's skin tone has changed to Caucasian, presumably to avoid any possible controversy. Several photos on a mantle in ''Ho, Ho Horrors'' also imply that Mammy now has a family (a man and a boy, also shown only as legs and partial torsos), though they have yet to appear in actual animation. In the short ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Tom Power Tom]'' the story casts Mammy as a superheroine called Power Gal, though it's only for this one cartoon.
