Japanese Artist Recreates Tom And Jerry’s Most Unfortunate Moments Into Hilarious Sculptures

Tom and Jerry is an animated television series and a series of short films developed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera in 1940. Hanna and Barbera created 114 Tom and Jerry shorts for MGM between 1940 and 1958. Tom and Jerry then became the most popular animated short film series of that time. The rivalry between the main characters, a cat named Tom and a mouse named Jerry, is the focus of the series.
The Tom and Jerry series has become the childhood of many people. Getting an idea from that, a Japanese artist has created a series of hilarious sculptures of the beleaguered Tom Cat from the classic Tom and Jerry cartoons. Each episode had Tom chasing after Jerry in the most bizarre ways, leaving the poor housecat befuddled. Inoue has captured Tom's physical reaction to these strange chases.
We have collected some of his best works in the collection below. Scroll down to take a look. We are sure that his hilarious sculptures will bring you back in time to your memorable childhood.

Taku Inoue spends his spare time sculpting Tom and Jerry:
“A lot of people have seen (my sculptures) and I’m very surprised. Tom and Jerry had a big impact on my childhood, it’s influential to my creative work,” Inoue said in an interview.
For a variety of reasons, Hanna and Barbera's animation style has become famous. Their distinct aesthetic defied the standards of animation at the time, paving the door for more enjoyable cartoon Entertainment. Tom's particularly perplexing forms stayed with Inoue, who eventually attempted to imitate them through sculpture.

Many people have expressed interest in purchasing Inoue's sculptures since the video went viral. However, he does not appear to have any immediate plans to commercialize his invention. He's only interested in recreating the comical forms of his beloved tomcat and mouse. Despite this, Inoue expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to expose new fans to the show through his work.
We would absolutely love to have our own statues! We'll have to make do with admiring Inoue's art through photographs until he decides to sell his goods. He's also lately revealed his sculpture checklist. And it's safe to assume that more statues will be added in 2020.
