Mi favorite Cartoon:

Tom and Jerry are two animated characters, a cat (Tom) and a mouse (Jerry), who staged a number of short films, created, written and directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.Las series were produced by Hollywood studio Metro -Goldwyn-Mayer from 1940 to 1958, when the group's animation studio was closed. MGM, in 1960, subcontracted the production of Tom and Jerry to Rembrandt Films (led by Gene Deitch) in Czechoslovakia. In 1963, production of Tom and Jerry shorts returned to Hollywood with Sib-Tower 12 Productions Chuck Jones, this series lasted until 1967. Tom and Jerry then returned in the form of cartoons for television by Hanna-Barbera (1975-1977, 1990-1993) and Filmation Studios (1980-1982). Short of Hanna-Barbera are important for having won seven Academy Awards, tying with Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies as the animated series with more prizes.
Tom rarely succeeds defeating Jerry , mainly because of the skill and cunning of Jerry , but sometimes it is due to the stupidity of Tom . Tom just beat Jerry when he becomes the instigator or crosses some sort of line ; cunning Jerry is generated to be almost always on the defensive ( rather like Bugs Bunny ) . The films have been famous for showing strong scenes that were considered at the time as too violent , and I could see the mouse Jerry slicing Tom in half, to Tom using different weapons such as axes , pistols , rifles, explosives and poison, Jerry Tom burning tail with a waffle maker , and more .
Generally , neither Tom nor Jerry cartoons speak (except in a movie). There are a few exceptions , but their voices are limited only to express cries of pain (usually from Tom ) , or swallow. Facial expressions and gestures convey all your feelings and intentions.
