Introduction
Tom and Jerry is an American animated franchise created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Most of the shorts were produced by Fred Quimby from 1940 to 1956. The original series is notable for having won the Academy Award for Best Short Subject (Cartoons) seven times, tied only by Walt Disney’s Silly Symphony series. A rebooted series of theatrical shorts started in 2001, again headed by Barbera before his death in 2006.
The first Tom and Jerry short, Puss Gets the Boot, was released in 1940. Hanna and Barbera co-created the title characters after getting married the same year; Jerry came first, followed by Tom. The duo began working on their next short, The Midnight Snack, in December of that year; it was completed in February 1941 and released later that year. Subsequent shorts were released over the following two years until 1943, when Quimby took a hiatus from producing cartoons due to World War II; he would return to producing shorts in 1945.
The early days
Tom and Jerry first came on the scene in 1940 in the short Puss Gets the Boot. When the first feature-length film, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera’s Tom and Jerry: The Movie, hit theaters in 1992, fans were finally able to see their favorite cartoon characters in a feature-length story.
The early days of Tom and Jerry were filled with slapstick humor and music by Hungarian composer Scott Bradley. As the years went on, the shorts became more sophisticated, adding dialogue and plot elements while still keeping the focus on laughs.
Today, Tom and Jerry remain as popular as ever, thanks to constant airings on Cartoon Network and Boomerang. A new generation of fans is discovering the joys of watching these two adorable (and occasionally troublesome) felines go at it.
The first movie
The first Tom and Jerry theatrical short, Puss Gets the Boot, was released in 1940. A rematch between the two characters led to the next cartoon, The Midnight Snack, in 1941. The duo continued to appear in various shorts until 1957.
Later movies
The later movies directed by Chuck Jones are generally considered to be of a higher quality than the earlier ones, due in part to the fact that Jones had trouble casting voice actors who could match the quality of the original cast. The most notable change was the introduction of a new character, Toots, in 1961. Toots was a black cat who served as Jerry’s love interest and appeared in several shorts before being phased out in 1967.
The TV series
The Tom and Jerry Show is a 2014 American animated television series produced by Warner Bros. Animation and based on the Tom and Jerry characters and theatrical cartoon series created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera in 1940. The show premiered on the Cartoon Network on April 9, 2014, and ended on June 27, 2015, with a total of 26 episodes over two seasons.
The first season features Tom the cat and Jerry the mouse living as roommates in Fred’s house, where they continuously fight for supremacy as their owner tries to keep them from destroying his home. The second season erupted into channels due to creative differences between Warner Bros. Animation and Turner Broadcasting System (Cartoon Network’s parent company), which brought an end to the show after only 13 episodes had aired.
