Tom and Jerry

Tom and Jerry is an American animated series of cartoon comedy short films created in 1940 by Bill Hanna and Joe Barbara. It centred on a never-ending rivalry between the title characters, Tom Cat, and Jerry Mouse. Many shorts also feature several recurring characters. 
In its original run, Hanna and Barbara wrote and produced 114 Tom and Jerry cartoons for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer from 1940 to 1958.
During this time, they won seven Academy Awards for Best Animated Short Film, tying for first place with Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies with the most awards for a cartoon series in the category. After the MGM cartoon studio shut down in 1957, MGM revived the series with Gene Deitch directing an additional 13 Tom and Jerry cartoons for Rembrandt Films from 1961 to 1962. 
Tom and Jerry then became the highest-grossing animated short film series of that time, overtaking Warner Bros' Looney Tunes. Chuck Jones then produced another 34 Tom and Jerry shorts with Sib Tower 12 Productions between 1963 and 1967.
Three more cartoons were produced, The Mansion Cat in 2001, The Karate Guard in 2005, and A Fundraising Adventure in 2014, making a total of 164 cartoons.
