Muscle Beach Tom is the 101st one-reel animated ''Tom and Jerry'' short, released on September 7, 1956 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It was directed and produced by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and animated by Lewis Marshall, Kenneth Muse, Ed Barge and Irven Spence (erroneously credited as Irvin Spence), with backgrounds by Robert Gentle, layouts by Richard Bickenbach and music by Scott Bradley. ==Plot== Several cats are working out with weights on a busy day at Muscle Beach. Tom and his girlfriend arrive and Tom dumps their beach equipment on top of a sunbathing Jerry. Tom then carelessly tears Jerry's beach towel with his beach umbrella and tosses garbage at Jerry. Jerry angrily marches up to Tom, slapping him with a banana peel, and is rewarded when Tom fills Jerry up with a balloon. When Tom lets go, the balloon makes Jerry spin in the air and whoosh off into the distance. Tom, delighted, turns back to his girlfriend, but she is paying attention to Butch weightlifting. Tom confronts Butch, but Butch uses elastic string to launch Tom into a parasol and a pole. Jerry then returns and sticks the string onto the pole, making Tom struggle to confront Butch again. Tom crashes back into the pole, which splits and crushes Tom, making Tom a crab. Butch impresses Tom's girlfriend with more weightlifting, but Tom, determined to win his girl back, interrupts. Tom impresses his girlfriend with his own displays, starting games of one-upmanship between Butch and Tom over the heart of the girl cat. Both aim to out-muscle the other lifting progressively heavier weights. Tom barely lifts a heavy barbell that Butch fails to lift, but struggles, falls sideways and is flattened between the weights. Butch and the girl cat then dance together, while Jerry dances with a banana peel. After Butch dances on Tom's beach ball, Tom digs into the sand and pulls Butch into it to dance with the girl cat, but Butch pulls Tom into the sand. Tom then clips a crab to Butch's shorts to send Butch flying upwards, but is unaware as Butch lands in front of him, dancing with Tom before throwing Tom into a trash bin. In a last-ditch effort, Tom stuffs balloons into his bathing suit to look heavily muscled. The balloons make Tom float over the ground, so he ties an anchor around his waist. Tom returns to Butch, and after the pair strike each other, Tom knocks Butch out with a swing of the anchor, winning his girlfriend back. Tom is flexing his "muscles" to his girl, but Jerry is eating noisily nearby on his picnic basket, annoying Tom. Tom flips the basket's lid onto Jerry's head to silence Jerry, but Jerry then unties the anchor from around Tom's waist while he is kissing his girlfriend, and the balloons make Tom float over the ground again. Tom holds onto his beach umbrella to keep from floating away, but Jerry inflates Tom's suit into a balloon with a helium canister and pricks him with a safety pin, causing Tom to spin in the air and whoosh off into the distance. Jerry then aims to lift a barbell of two tomatoes to impress Tom's girlfriend, but the weight is too much for him, and like Tom earlier in his successful but short-lived effort to win his girlfriend back, Jerry falls sideways and is flattened between the tomatoes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Muscle Beach Tom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
