For those who don't know this episode of Tom and Jerry won Oscar , it was so precise and very difficult piece , she did justice to the original piece

Ali i agree hungerien radosopi no 2 is the hardest part of the song

I still hear mistakes (to be fair, this piece is hard, but...)

even though he still hit's plenty of the wrong keys (he's close, unlike most cartoons, and television.)

@Pramod Bisht best animated short

Got that right

She is not just playing the piece, she is matching to the video frame exactly when Tom is playing the animated piano. superb control and timing !

man you gotta be joking right?.. I dont think yall people know how music work at all...

When you've checked the full Liszt.

That’s because Jerry wasn’t there

Practice makes PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRFECT. Pun intended :)

Fun fact: The piano notes in the episode are accurate. The episode won an oscar for that

only partially...not completely. at 1:29, he's hitting low C. tune is in C# minor. mistakes. seconds later at 1:34, he hits an F instead of an E. many others. The stuff he's playing at 4:20 is in C Major. The tune is in F# major at that time. (details, details.)

Nah, 1:03 not 100% accurate. Someone would notice that the animation should be on the lower note, but the animation seems pressed higher note.

@Grxcie 1947

@JDarkAngeI one note just repeating it sounds like a diff pitch

@JDarkAngeI it was the fist one hand note!!

I used to laugh uncontrollably at Tom's facial expressions as a child; but when I began taking classical guitar seriously, I understood Tom meant business, 😆🤣😂.

🤣🤣

@Dame Dan xd. Youre right

@Kajochaos if you approach it that way, you be correct.

@Dame Dan but i would neither be able to teach myself those difficult songs nor teach them to others xd

@Kajochaos Lmao, I get it; when people ask me to teach them guitar, I ask "do you want to learn how to play the guitar or do you want to learn how to play songs on guitar?" I trained for classical guitar, but play any genre a song is in that I like and want to play. People tend to think classical guitar (music in general) is hard to learn because of the discipline necessary to become adept at it, but after you are and have mastered a few different techniques, it is one of the most fluid expressions of a musician's state of being.

The thing I loved most about that show is they never spoke, everything was done through expression and it still was funny, this was such a beautiful animation I’m glad it’s still getting it’s recognition all these years later.

@Time.worn-soul there was a time tom said hey what's cooking

Tom and jerry NEVER spoke anyways but spike and the rest all had dialogue

Any good acting school will teach at least some of Charlie Chaplin. He is actually the gold standard of stage acting for the exact reason you mention.

they roll Tom and Jerry in Asia now... with VOICEOVERS!!!

Beside ouch!!

Can we take a moment to appreciate how Tom played this difficult piece by using just 4 fingers in each paws.

😂😂

I love Tom 😆💖

Lol

Nobody is talking About Jerry 🐀 😭

and mostly with one paw.

It amazes me this was animated in the Late 40's-50's. Modern cartoons nowadays don't even make their Drums accurate but this just sent dedication to a whole another level.

Because back then cartoons weren't just for children but nowadays because it's made for children children don't care about the accuracy they just want to watch it so animators think they can get away with animating it wrong i might be wrong

Cartoons back then is more than just for children's enjoyment, they are our time's cgi thus creators can do whatever they want and their audience ranges from Youngs to adult.

I just came here from a video of a scene in the musical animated film Sing which completely destroyed the piano scene. The funniest part is it's a musical movie so they should be getting it right.

So she played Tom's part, but who was inside the piano playing Jerry's part?

a 8% chance to get the rat called Jerry

a much smaller Yannie Tan in a mouse costume

a retired cook rat named remy

Her demons

A small mouse lady

the fact of playing the correct "incorrect" notes on key as well is what really blew me away Astounding performance

Yeah!.. just yeah!!!

​@Smeggums I'm pretty sure the original piece does that kind of thing too it sounds kind of clumsy but it's the way it's meant to be played

I'm sure I probably worded it wrong my mistake! In that episode of Tom and Jerry when Jerry goes to interrupt/harm Tom it causes him to fumble sometimes making him hit incorrect notes but still staying on key , she was hitting those correctly even tho it didn't sound right at all. So in turn hitting those incorrect notes perfectly synced with the video is astoundingly good and takes incredible talent

what do you mean "Correct incorrect notes?

I remember staying up late at night to see Tom and Jerry, and this particular episode was my all time favorite, not only for the comedy but for the song in general, and the fact that not only this won an Oscar, but they actually animated the play to be legit with the actual notes of a piano it's mindblowing (due to the time it came out) and makes it even more special

@Sheldon Hatch I just miss cartoons actually having a plot and not needing to depend on awful jokes to be relevant. Tom & Jerry is glorious for the same reason Mr Bean is. Minimum dialogue and a "Show. Don't tell." attitude to its comedy.

I miss the early 80s' Wonderful television shows. From cartoons to cinematic features. A time almost forgotten about hence the Huge importance of this channel carrying this video

You don't see this kind of precision even in kids' shows today, in fact i think the animation in kids' shows today is quite bad tbh

I remember Tom&Jerry airing early with other children's programs, before news and other scary stuff.

Tom is literally a musician,opera singer,engineer,gymnast..everything asian parents ever want😂

@The Tom parents is still : why you not beat Johnny sins? we asians need to be smarter ma, 101% is the highest score we get and you get 5 job?

@scissors 🤣🤣✋💀lmfao

@Here goes the same shit again . _. Such productivity is needed everywhere but asain demands comes first .lol

@scissors 🌚🌚only parents eh?

Every asian parents wants Jhonny sinns eh??

This whole time…I didn’t even notice that she was wearing cat ears? What a legend.

There’s a part where her ears almost fall off and she catches them and secures them with one hand not missing a beat during the performance. Insanely impressive.

she is a cat

Look closely in the beginning. It's hard to see but she also has a tail.

This piece is one of the most complex and complicated music scores ever written. She plays it beautifully and it is a great homage to a beloved cat and mouse 🐭 I so miss them even as an adult.

I also miss them

Absolutely phenomenal, but the most impressive part to me is that the few time she got off the animation, she improved until she could line it up again, which is REALLY HARD. Fantastic, just astounding

I'm not a big fan of Classic music, but my god this woman nailed the performance, brought tears to my eyes when she played the last notes, I was smiling the whole Time.

How can you not avoid not getting into the entire number and cartoon,, and not come out laughing?! Answer? IMPOSSIBLE!

the beginning 1st minute alone is better than the entire Cats movie

Chris !!!! Omg

​@FreakyAjay yes..

there's a movie called CATS???

True!

Dude seriously ? You comparing piece of art with try hard sellebrity cash grab . . .

It was so beautiful, she played without sheet music, there was some acting involved and then there was syncronization to the video! I am overwhelmed how fascinating music and musicians are!

A música é uma coisa Maravilhosa 😃😍

Concordo plenamente, a música é algo bem importante pra mim, e eu aprecio muito o trabalho dos compositores que passam horas, dias, até mesmo semanas ou meses de suas vidas para nos proporcionar músicas incríveis!

Thank you Yannie Tam, this episode of Tom and Jerry won an Oscar. From the minute I heard you play this, I wanted to learn it. What she did was brilliant, she played it to Tom's facial expressions and timed it perfectly. I think the cat ears is a nice touch as well.

Excelente pianista!!! Virtuosa!!!

The funny thing about Tom playing is that he's actually playing the actual right keys to the song

why do you think this video was made?

Only the beginning really

Yeah.

uhmm no

Nope, learn the song and then you give your opinion (pd: I am chilean and my english sucks)

I cannot imagine how hard it was to get this animated and perfectly played on a piano

I had a smile on my face the whole time just remembering watching this in my childhood. This was such a treat to watch. Thank you so much!

she was more than great, really really great i enjoyed and laughed, it was so synchronised that felt like Jerry inside the piano :)

Tom and Jerry is so timeless I found myself laughing hysterically even after all these years. Great homage btw!

Love how she dresses up as Tom

@Yisugei 🍷 he’s right man, she is wearing pants, so in fact, Tom will never dress like her, since cat don’t wear pants

@Lau the Impaler yo…

@Lau the Impaler Don't you even

But....but....tom doesn't wear pants 👀

She is masterfully playing the piece, and coordinating herself with the animated Tom, who was masterfully animated. Delightful and sublime!!

This was hands down one of the best Tom & Jerry episodes ever. I miss this classic style comedy.

I remember seeing that episode on TV on a Saturday morning as a kid. I was so awestruck over the music, and laughing at the silly cartoon fighting. It was just amazing, and the animators did an incredible job with the piano syncing up.

i wish i had 1% of the talent, dedication and hardwork that she has

I can’t stop seeing this video! INCREDIBLE 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

😃🇧🇷

So how can you write the comment 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I get it this way

Faaaaaallllaaa Dinheirudoooo

Absoloute Piano masterpiece... The way she played, its so difficult But there was not a single note she missed Loved it

Tom should be proud of her that she nailed it effortlessly

I was today years old when I found out this episode won an Oscar. Well deserved. She killed this performance 🔥

There was so much problem came from Jerry, but Tom didn't give up, he still play , ,, that's called true artist, Tom was genius, My childhood friend,,, 🔥🔥👀

This has always been my favorite episode of Tom & Jerry and you definitely killed it! What a remarkable job!

Ela é o Tom da Netflix, ficou incrível

Music should be fun. Thank you, Yannie, for bringing out the child in all of us.

I used to love Tom & Jerry (still do). I remember my mother taking my brother and I to the movies on Sunday mornings to watch Tom & Jerry, loved it! This girl is a stupendous pianist, congratulations!

Sometimes I feel that we don't appreciate these masterpieces much. In my childhood, I was just laughing all along, never realised how difficult was this to play for the person who played this.

Perfectly played on animation. I saw this Tom and Jerry long time ago. The Little girl played it very well. God Bless you.

🙁

MMB

@Sahil Sahoo it's a damn shame how animation is treated now.

Just imagine this was the quantity of a fucking kids show back then today's big budget movies aren't even this good.

Love this. She did a beautiful job.

I keep coming back to this video every now and then for the nostalgia, the fun, the laughter, for Yannie’s cat ears and tail, but especially for her masterful performance. 🎹🐱🐭 Bravo!! 👏

This episode was released on 1947. Older than my grandpa. The animation looks like it was just released. A timeless classic.

Wonderful performance, and tribute to Tom and Jerry, and I love the ears and tail! Brava all round!

Our guy Tom is so talented that he plays the piano with his eyes closed

Oh my goodness,she plays awesome!! 👏🏾 Maybe she was playing for the original cartoons!😉🤔

wow this brings back memories.. I was so impressed and intrigued by this cartoon. I was always interested in the piano because of this.. it looks so sophisticated to play... plus this is my jam.

Bring back childhood memories never realized these guys were a masterpiece as a kid. 😥

Espectacular!!!!!!!😻😻😻😻👏👏👏👏👏

So accurate, so funny, so talented!! Bravo!!! Greetings from a brasilian musician (and a huge Tom & Jerry fan)

Esto es lo más hermoso que eh visto hacia mi infancia. 🥺🥺🥺🥰😍

Meu Deus, eu fiquei extasiado!!! 😲😲😲. Um instrumento dificílimo de tocar, mas teve que se curvar ao talento desta super talentosa pianista 🤗🤗🤗

It's amazing how Tom could match with Yannie Tan even while having a mouse to distract him throughout the concert!

@Mohamed Saeed yes he for sure did

Also the fact that he had to play with only four fingers on each hand

@Andrew oh

Lol yup.

Wonderful!! I know you are shocked to get a text from me 😊I want you to be calm, sincerely this is my official YouTube video for chatting it happens sometimes. I love being free. That's why am so different from all other celebrities,😊😉😊

YOOOOO!!! so nice... the cartoon is already in everyone's heart and now this masterpiece too... She played every single key without any pause..... really appreciate your work

I could not stop laughing and enjoying the entire performance! You are an amazing person :)

This is gold. I grew up with this... Thank you for this piece of nostalgia.

Wow this got me crying in nostalgia, with the audience laughing and all.

This is awesome, not only is she an amazing pianist, but she's even wearing cat ears and tail. Quite a wonderful homage to an amazing episode of an awesome show

Classic

Catwoman

@Maria Lyn Nala >:3

wow detail matters in this case

@memezeloid yessir!

That was absolutely phenomenal and amazingly incredible to watch.

The Cat Concerto has always been a childhood episode for me. This lady really pulled it off perfectly. Great job!!

Bravo! That was absolutely magnificent and flawless! 👏

Love it! ❤️❤️ It brings back memories of old times 😍😍

I'm surprised that Tom is playing the exactly a piano should be played The animators did a splendid job

So hard fast and so beautifull. Thanks Tom and thanks talent Asian Girl

May the animators rest in peace for not giving us junkie materials to watch, today's generation are given crap

@John Smith I'm talkimg about the fact that Tom was animated spectacularly, but not perfectly, yk? Small mistakes can be noticed if you nit pick with Tom's animation (ignoring the humorous parts of course), but the girl did an outstanding job and I am jealous of her! I can not do it, and I admire anybody who could pull this off.

@BugmanZ Gaming lol ohh gotcha. I play piano too, only I know I'm not good. I just do it for fun. But some people think I'm a pro. It's because they don't know music well enough to notice what's wrong with it. Sweet ignorance lol Edit: wait, are you talking about the girl or the cat? Lmao

@John Smith I've been playing the piano for 13 years now, and I agree with you on every single point of your argument. I am just saying that, on the contrary to what the first person said, it isn't perfect, such a piece can almost never be done justice right

Esto es muy increíble, ella es increíble tocando el piano 💙

Apresentação genial.

Lo más increíble de todo esto, es que no sólo ella está concentrada, sino qué......... LO DISFRUTA.

An amazing piece of music she did justice to that song it must take a lot of control and practice to execute such difficult song she did a great job 👏.

She absolutely nailed this piece. For realz, tho. That's how the piece sounds in the cartoon. They even animated Tom playing with the right keys, both are awesome and beautiful.

For realz tho

Well not all keys but still masterpeace

@revan dewa putra yea she missed some notes, commented that before I saw her get into friska. But it’s amazing that she was prbly focusing more on matching Tom and jerry rather and playing the piece perfectly

@Leinikk there's many notes missed, but still amazing regardless, because the time signature is all over the place due to jerry disturbing the piece lmao

@Hello Last name ? She obviously did it

Inovador. Muito bom! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍

This is unreal. True homage to a classic!

This was amazing. Very smart piece and she tackled it with dignity! Well done Yannie. And btw, great costume, respect for the courage to be unique self who you really are. ^^

Very well done! That is one difficult piece to perform. It looks like you’ve practiced a lot. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Encore! Encore!

Tom played the piano without stopping or ruining the flow, all while dealing with Jerry's bullshit lol. Mad respect

@pascal schumacher you having a stroke or something dude?

@A Name that scene of him using his pinky to reach across the piano always gets me.

@elaiza c

For some reason I was always mad at Jerry

Wonderful!! I know you are shocked to get a text from me 😊I want you to be calm, sincerely this is my official YouTube video for chatting it happens sometimes. I love being free. That's why am so different from all other celebrities,😉😊😉

She is just good 👍 the timing and the fact she matches the scene too. Just too good

@Yannie Tan Thank You!! Very very much. For not only showing us your incredible talent. Which is truly phenomenal. It's a very poetic style you have. Full of beauty. And spot on for All possible deliveries each scene shows. You nailed it!

She put her soul on that it's just Mesmerizing 🤩🤩

Absolutamente incrivel

I never realised how difficult the piece was in Tom and Jerry untill I watched her play it, and for the creators, they really deserve an Oscar for making our childhood unforgettable.

Many oscars. Not an oscar ☺

@Sulaymaan Kingseed I think the creators worked on every aspect of the animation, so everything was perfect and flawless. No matter how difficult it was.

yeah I never knew I was learning about classical music while watching a cartoon about a cat and rat brutalizing each other... but I guess i did...

@Lays Maxx since when did i say your serious, im asking.

@Lays Maxx is there something wrong with that? 😀😀

Bravo!! That was Amazing, your talent is heaven sent

ARTE en su mas pura expresion. Q grandiosa.!!!! Bendiciones
