RetrievedOctober 7, 2025.Rich Danhakl: The director and producers [Darrell Van Citters and Ashley Postelwaite] wantedThe Tom and Jerry Show's sound design to be as close to the original shorts as possible. It was a challenge because a lot of those classic Turner sounds were recorded in the 1940s-1950s and just don't sound all that great when played out of modern speakers/devices. I recreated a lot of them at my studio to sound as close to the originals as I could get them. A lot of the screams are actually me (my neighbors loved me for that).
