The Princess and Her Knock-off

Description

The completed version of http://www.fanart-central.net/pictures/user/TeeJay87/857847/Toodles-Angry-Princess-WIP - developed to express my feelings what do I think about the way Darrell Van Citters spoiled "Tom and Jerry".

To begin with, have a look at this screencap http://tomandjerry.wikia.com/wiki/File:F121e.png - you should see Butch, Dollface, Tom, Meathead, and that short blonde female cat, who is supposed to be Toodles Galore (She looks more like Toots from the 1940s originals). One could say it looks like a kitten hanging around with adult cats.

I have no idea, if Mr. Van Citters has intentionally designed Tom's girlfriend this way, or is it just his lack of knowledge of the original canon. In both cases, he did allow a flaw to occur.

Toodles Galore belongs to Warner Bros, regardless of the design.

He should have bring back Toodles Galore from the 1946 ep "Springtime for Thomas", or as he developed a new female charactr, he should have make Dollface s Tom's girlfriend by default, and not just after she left Butch.

Agreed that such ideas as you suggested would have made more sense.

Van Citters apparently has mistaken the original Toodles Galore http://tomandjerry.wikia.com/wiki/File:Toodles_Kitty.png with Toots http://tomandjerry.wikia.com/wiki/Toots_(Puss_n%27_Toots) from this episode http://tomandjerry.wikia.com/wiki/Puss_n%27_Toots; the "2014 Toodles Galore" http://tomandjerry.wikia.com/wiki/File:RelaxToodles.jpg does look like that kitten from "Puss n' Toots", just with more vivid colors and lipstick.

As of Toodles, I remember there was another form for her yet in the Hanna-Barbera-era in one ep where Tom was dancing with a catgirl on a beach, but I'm not sure it was her. She had an elipse-shaped head and a yellowish fur with brown stripes.

Do you know for sure if it's her, or another one who is almost nowheer mentioned?

I assume you mean this cartoon https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/tomandjerry/images/0/08/MuscleBeachTom2.jpg/revision/latest?c..., right?

The episode is called "Muscle Beach Tom" and that ellipse-shaped female isn't Toodles - she was also used for 1975 cartoons https://tomandjerry.wikia.com/wiki/Yvonne_Jockalong

Forgot about the link to the episode https://tomandjerry.wikia.com/wiki/Muscle_Beach_Tom

Darrell apparently has trouble in recognizing the original Tom & Jerry characters:

1) the real Toodles looks like those:

- http://tomandjerry.wikia.com/wiki/File:Toodles_Kitty.png
- http://tomandjerry.wikia.com/wiki/File:SaltWaterTabby3.jpg
- http://tomandjerry.wikia.com/wiki/File:LM013e.png

2) Van Citters developed this Toodles http://tomandjerry.wikia.com/wiki/File:RelaxToodles.jpg - compare her with Toots http://tomandjerry.wikia.com/wiki/Toots_(Puss_n%27_Toots); apparently, the 2014 kitty was based on the "Puss n' Toots" one.

Not to mention the size/age issue I mentioned in the description.

If you're familiar with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, I've also created a proper derivative http://www.fanart-central.net/pictures/user/TeeJay87/857870/Dolt-on-Ism-The-Princess-and-D.O.L.T.
