Tom and Jerry – The Eternal Cartoon Rivals (1940)

First created in 1940 by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera for MGM Studios, Tom and Jerry stand among the most iconic duos in animation history. For decades, the unlucky cat and the clever mouse have entertained audiences with their timeless game of chase.

The formula is brilliantly simple: Tom, the house cat, constantly schemes to capture Jerry, the mischievous mouse, only to be outwitted time and again. Packed with slapstick humor, clever traps, and perfectly timed gags, each short is a masterclass in visual comedy.

During Hollywood’s golden age, more than 160 theatrical shorts were produced, earning the series multiple Academy Awards and cementing its legacy. With almost no dialogue, the cartoon’s universal humor transcended language barriers, making Tom and Jerry beloved worldwide.

From TV reruns to feature films, video games, and endless merchandise, Tom and Jerry remain a symbol of classic animation – proof that the simplest rivalries can be the funniest.
