Tom and Jerry is a theatrical animated cartoon series created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. They wrote, produced and directed 114 Tom and Jerry shorts between 1940 and 1957. The story is about a never-ending comic fight between constantly competing with each other cat (Tom) and a mouse (Jerry) whose funny chases and battles are loved by children, teenagers and adults around the world. Because of the universal and timeless character of its plot, the cartoon has become one of the most legendary and longest-lived rivalries in American cinema.
