| “ | God's Little Creatures, With sweet and furry features. Four-legged friends I would go to the ends of the earth to protect. My best friends are animals, Their best friend is me, and it pains me to see any signs of neglect. God's Little Creatures, they have so much to teach us. Men like myself, put their lives on the shelves, to be kind to our pets. My whole life is animals, from morning to night. I pity their plight, but I have no regrets. Here boys, take good care of them! (evil laughs) Yes, animals are business, A money making business. I kidnap, buy, and sell 'em! Call their owner's up and tell 'em. I make outrageous noodles, From pekes, and poms, and poodles! Ten Grand A Day!, Those rich old fools will pay. To find their precious poochies, With collars made at Gucci's. Devotion to dumb animals is no dumb gig!. I love God's little creatures, Because the income's so darn big, Big, Big, Big, Big, Big, BIG! (evil laughs). | „ |

Dr. Jason Sweetface Applecheek, better known as Dr. Jason Applecheek or Dr. Applecheek, simply known as Applecheek is a major antagonist in Tom and Jerry: The Movie. He is the Straycatchers' former boss.
He was voiced by the late Henry Gibson, who also portrayed Lord Pain in The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, the Illinois Nazi Leader in The Blues Brothers, one of the Sub-humans in Fire and Ice and Werner Klopek in The 'Burbs.
Biography[]
Dr. Applecheek is first mentioned by Aunt Figg as a sweet man who runs a pet shelter.
The next morning, after Tom the Cat and Jerry the Mouse trashed the kitchen during a food fight with Ferdinand last night, Figg drops them off at Dr. Applecheek’s house, where he kindly takes them in. However, during the song, “God's Little Creatures”, he reveals his true nature as he puts Tom and Jerry in a cage, a cruel, greedy, and abusive pound owner who steals pets from wealthy people and to sell them back for money.
Tom and Jerry run into Puggsy and Frankie (who were kidnapped earlier by the Straycatchers and taking them to Dr. Applecheek’s pound) and figured out a plan to free themselves and the other pets. Since Jerry is a mouse, he is able to get out of the cage thanks to Tom and push all the buttons to open up the cages, freeing Tom, Puggsy, Frankie, and all the other pets. Dr. Applecheek tries to stop the escaping pets, but was easily overpowered, knocking him out while Tom, Jerry, Puggsy, Frankie, and the other pets escaped from his pound.
The next morning, Dr. Applecheek storms to Figg's house and blames her for the incident. As Figg was about to tell him off, she receives a call from Captain Kiddie. Dr. Applecheek overhears her conversation on the phone about the one-million-dollar bounty reward and immediately rushes back to the Straycatchers truck to catch Robyn. When he tells off his henchmen that they would get no money for allowing the pets to escape, he gets dropped off on a road, leaving him stranded as the truck tows away. Dr. Applecheek then spots an ice cream cart nearby and takes the opportunity to steal it with a wicked grin on his face.
However, Dr. Applecheek later shows up in order to abduct their friend Robyn Starling, so he can sell her for one million dollars. The Straycatchers tell Applecheek to save them from the ferris wheel, but Applecheek betrays them, by stating "One good turn deserves another!" and laughs evilly while he abandons them as he chases after the heroes. Tom, Jerry and Robyn are able to escape him. Dr. Applecheek was defeated when the ice cream cart he was using crashes into the water due falling from a broken bridge which have been destroyed by Ferdinand, sending Captain Kiddie and Squawk towards the broken bridge to dangle from it. It is unknown what happens to Dr. Applecheek as he was never seen in the rest of the film, but he presumably drowned inside the ice cream cart or was later evicted by the police along with Captain Kiddie and Squawk.
