A cat and mouse duo answering to the monikers of Tom and Jerry, the first creations of late animation pioneers William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, had their debut in a 9.15-minute MGM animated short released on this date in 1940, entitled Puss Gets The Boot (in which they were first known as Jasper and Jinx!). The duo would chase each other from the Hollywood Bowl to Hungary to out space and back, and would capture the delight, and the laughter, of audiences around the globe, garner enough Academy Awards to make any movie star selfishly smug, and star in motion pictures, television series and comic books.
Happy 67th Anniversary, Tom and Jerry! :tomcat: :jerry:
