Tom and Jerry

Tom and Jerry has a good use of sound. They use a musical score with sound effects over the top. The sound effects they used help to portray what is happening in the animation. Like when Tom hits something, it makes a bang. This makes it more believable. And when Jerry is running there is a high pitch tinkly sound which shows that Jerry is small and dainty. They use sound like stretching which accentuates the movement and makes it sound like the thing being stretched is about to snap. Without the sound you wouldn't know how much stretch this thing has left in it. These sound effects also add comedic value.
They also use the musical score to say what is going on. If there is a chase then the music would be fast and interesting and high pitched. If someone is sneaking up the music would start low and move up in pitch slowly. Things like that help tell a story. This is what the majority of the sound consists of because it is predominantly non dialogue so they have to tell the story another way.
