Spike and Tyke is a short-lived theatrical animated short subject series, based upon the English bulldog father-and-son team from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Tom and Jerry cartoons.

[1] Only two films were made in this spin-off series: Give and Tyke and Scat Cats, both made and released in 1957, and produced in CinemaScope, as the cartoon studio shut down the year the spin-off series was started.

Tyke did not talk in the theatrical shorts, (possibly his barks were done by co-creator William Hanna) but did speak on the Fox Kids television series Tom & Jerry Kids, for which the duo appeared in their own segments, and occasionally in the Tom and Jerry segments.

Later, they appeared in the straight to video film Tom and Jerry: The Magic Ring Spike was voiced by Maurice LaMarche and Tyke's barks were done by Frank Welker.
