Who created it
Tom and Jerry is a series of animated theatrical shorts created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer(MGM) that centered on a never-ending rivalry between a house cat (Tom) and a mouse (Jerry) whose chases and battles often involved comic violence.
Part II Pre-Learning
Tom is a common house cat, it has a strong desire — always want to seize mice, but it is difficult to catch mice living in a room with Jerry. It is constantly trying to dispel the hate tenants, but always fails. Even if Tom occasionally caught Jerry, he usually did not know how he should deal with the mouse!
At the end of each cartoon, Jerry is often a winner, and Tom is a tragic failure. However, there may be the following result: very few, Tom will win.
In the cartoon, unlike Jerry, Tom has a very strong conscience, if he thought Jerry was badly injured, dying or dead, he would be confound at. Jerry sometimes use it to gain an advantage.
Tom and Jerry
Tom the cat and Jerry the mouse are two of the most popular cartoon characters in the world. In the short cartoons, Tom is always trying to catch Jerry, but he never has any success. Almost every cartoon ends with Tom in trouble and Jerry laughing at him. The stories are full of fun and have a long history.
Part III While-Learning
William Hanna and Joseph Barbera both worked for MGM in the late 1930s. Their boss told them to make funny cartoons. Together they thought of the idea of a cat and a mouse. They thought it would be funny if the mouse was clever and always got the cat into trouble.
The first Tom and Jerry cartoon was shown in cinemas in 1940. It was a great success. Over the next 17 years, they made many Tom and Jerry cartoons. Most of them are around seven minutes long.
In total, Hanna and Barbera made 114 Tom and Jerry cartoons. The cartoons were so good that they won a number of awards. The famous cat and mouse remain popular today, as the cartoons are still shown on television around the world.
