"Tom and Jerry" is a classic American animated series created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. It first aired in 1940 and has since become one of the most beloved cartoon franchises in the world. The series is produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and features a never-ending rivalry between its two main characters: Tom, a house cat, and Jerry, a small brown mouse.
The cartoons are known for their slapstick humor, with Tom often devising elaborate schemes to catch Jerry, only to have them backfire in hilariously destructive ways. Despite their constant battles, there are moments when the two show a genuine, if begrudging, affection for each other.
Over the years, "Tom and Jerry" has seen numerous iterations, including theatrical shorts, television series, direct-to-video movies, and specials. The original series won several Academy Awards for Best Animated Short Film and has left a lasting impact on popular culture.
The characters have also appeared in various other media, including comic books, video games, and even a live-action/animated hybrid film released in 2021. The timeless appeal of "Tom and Jerry" lies in its universal humor and the dynamic, often chaotic relationship between its two main characters.
