Like the other studios, MGM reissued and edited its cartoons when rereleased to theaters. Many pre-1952 cartoons were reissued with Perspecta Sound, which was introduced in 1954. MGM also reissued its cartoons before the introduction of Perspecta Sound. Because of the [[1965 MGM vault fire]], all original film of pre-September-1951 MGM cartoons are lost, but luckily the backup prints is still (in spite of the altered reissue prints), although some production artwork relating to the missing material has survived, like pencil sketches.<ref name="cartoonresearch.com">{{Cite web | url=http://www.cartoonresearch.com/mgm.html | title=MGM Titles}}</ref>

| [[Scott Bradley (composer)|Scott Bradley]] received the only music credit for this short, but examination of the archived orchestral score bears the inscription, "Adapted by Ted Duncan". As Barrier has remarked in ''Hollywood Cartoons'', this score is very unlike Bradley's other work of the period, since it "sounds like ordinary dance-band music, related only tenuously to the cartoon action". It seems plausible that Duncan adapted the score from pre-existing songs because Bradley was unavailable, and the latter received credit for contractual reasons.<ref name=Alexander2015>[https://theses.gla.ac.uk/6809/1/2015AlexanderPhd.pdf ''Happy Harmonies and Disturbing Discords: Scott Bradley's Music for MGM's Cartoons''], Helen Alexander, p. 145</ref>

Latest revision as of 20:25, 22 March 2026

The Tom and Jerry series consists of 163 shorts produced and released between 1940 and 2005. Of these, 162 are theatrical shorts while one is a made-for-TV short, subsequently released in theatres.Template:Toc limit

1940–1958: Hanna-Barbera/MGM cartoons[edit | edit source]

William Hanna (right) and Joseph Barbera (left) seen in a 1965 photo.

The following 114 cartoons were directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio in Hollywood, Los Angeles. All cartoons were released to theaters by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Rudolf Ising was the producer of Puss Gets the Boot; subsequent cartoons were produced by Fred Quimby through 1955. Quimby retired in 1955 and from 1955 to 1957, Hanna and Barbera produced the shorts until MGM closed the cartoon studio in 1957, and the last cartoon was released in 1958.[1] Most of these cartoons were produced in the standard Academy ratio (1.37:1). Four cartoons were produced for both Academy Ratio and CinemaScope formats (2.55:1, later 2.35:1). Finally, 19 cartoons were produced in widescreen CinemaScope format only (though reissues have the standard Academy ratio 1.37:1 instead).

Like the other studios, MGM reissued and edited its cartoons when re-released to theaters. Many pre-1951 cartoons were reissued with Perspecta Sound, which was introduced in 1954. MGM also reissued its cartoons before the introduction of Perspecta Sound. Because of the 1965 MGM vault fire, all original film of pre-September-1951 MGM cartoons are lost, leaving only the backup prints (usually the altered reissue prints), although some production artwork relating to the missing material has survived, like pencil sketches.[2]

1940[edit | edit source]

No. Title Date Summary Notes
1 Puss Gets the Boot February 10, 1940 Tom and Jerry's first cartoon. Tom (here named Jasper) tries to stop the mouse Jerry (here unnamed) from breaking plates and glasses before the maid can kick Jasper out. First appearances of Tom (as Jasper), Jerry (as the unnamed mouse), and the housekeeper (never given a name). First Tom and Jerry cartoon nominated for an Academy Award for Best Short Subject, Cartoon.

1941[edit | edit source]

No. Title Date Summary Notes
2 The Midnight Snack July 19, 1941 Jerry attempts to outsmart Tom so he can get a snack from the refrigerator. First time Tom and Jerry are referred to by those names. Rereleased in Perspecta Stereo in 1958.
3 The Night Before Christmas December 6, 1941 Tom gets to know the spirit of giving when he begins to feel guilty after blockading the front door, trapping Jerry outside in the cold on Christmas Eve. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Short Subjects, Cartoons.

1942[edit | edit source]

No. Title Date Summary Notes
4 Fraidy Cat January 17, 1942 Jerry plays tricks to scare the fur off of Tom. U.S. television print cuts out the housekeeper due to racially insensitive subject matter.
5 Dog Trouble April 18, 1942 Tom and Jerry team up to stop the Bulldog from mauling both of them. First appearance of Spike as an unnamed bulldog.
6 Puss n' Toots May 30, 1942 Tom tries to woo a female cat. First appearance of Toots. Rereleased in Perspecta Stereo in 1958.
7 The Bowling Alley-Cat July 3, 1942[3] Tom and Jerry chase each other around a bowling alley. First cartoon featuring a sport as its theme.
8 Fine Feathered Friend October 10, 1942 Jerry flees from Tom by hiding with a chicken family.

1943[edit | edit source]

No. Title Date Summary Notes
9 Sufferin' Cats! January 16, 1943 Tom competes with an alley cat (Meathead) to see who can catch Jerry first. First appearance of Meathead.
10 The Lonesome Mouse May 22, 1943 When the housekeeper kicks Tom out of the house after Jerry frames him, the mouse enjoys his freedom without Tom until he gets lonesome. They work together to prove Tom's worth as a mouse-catcher to the housekeeper. An unusual short where Tom and Jerry speak.
11 The Yankee Doodle Mouse June 26, 1943 Jerry wages war with Tom from his "cat raid shelter" in the basement. First cartoon to win an Academy Award for Best Short Subject, Cartoon.
12 Baby Puss October 30, 1943[4][lower-alpha 1] Nancy dresses up Tom like a baby, prompting Jerry and Tom's feline friends to make fun of him. First appearance of Butch and Topsy.

1944[edit | edit source]

No. Title Date Summary Notes
13 The Zoot Cat February 10, 1944[5] Tom and Jerry try to impress Toots by wearing a zoot suit. Unusual for a Tom and Jerry cartoon, the characters speak lengthy lines.
14 The Million Dollar Cat April 15, 1944[6][lower-alpha 2] Tom inherits a million dollars on one condition: He must avoid causing harm to any animal, which Jerry uses to his advantage. Scott Bradley received the only music credit for this short, but examination of the archived orchestral score bears the inscription, "Adapted by Ted Duncan". As Barrier has remarked in Hollywood Cartoons, this score is very unlike Bradley's other work of the period, since it "sounds like ordinary dance-band music, related only tenuously to the cartoon action". It seems plausible that Duncan adapted the score from pre-existing songs because Bradley was unavailable, and the latter received credit for contractual reasons.[7]
15 The Bodyguard July 13, 1944[8] Jerry frees Spike the bulldog from the dog-catcher's truck. Spike promises to protect Jerry from Tom by responding to the sound of a whistle. First regular appearance of Spike.
16 Puttin' on the Dog October 28, 1944 When Jerry hides in the dog pound, Tom disguises himself as a dog.
17 Mouse Trouble November 23, 1944 Tom reads a book consisting of tips for catching mice. Won an Academy Award for Best Short Subject, Cartoon.

1945[edit | edit source]

No. Title Date Summary Notes
18 The Mouse Comes to Dinner February 3, 1945[9][lower-alpha 3] Tom invites Toots to a dinner party. U.S. television prints cut out the opening scene with the housekeeper due to additional racist stereotyping.
19 Mouse in Manhattan July 7, 1945 Jerry takes a trip to Manhattan. Tom has a cameo role at the beginning and ending of this cartoon.
20 Tee for Two July 21, 1945 Tom attempts to play golf, but Jerry ruins his fun.
21 Flirty Birdy September 22, 1945 Tom disguises himself as a female bird to trick an eagle who also wants to eat Jerry, which works too well.
22 Quiet Please! December 22, 1945 Spike threatens Tom to keep quiet during his nap, but Jerry is constantly making noise. Won an Academy Award for Best Short Subject, Cartoon.[10]

1946[edit | edit source]

No. Title Date Summary Notes
23 Springtime for Thomas March 30, 1946 Tom falls in love with a new female cat, Toodles. Jerry tries to break them up by sending Tom's friend/enemy Butch to her. First appearance of Toodles Galore.

Won an Academy Award for Best Short Subject, Cartoon.[10] In 1994, it was voted No. 42 of the 50 Greatest Cartoons of all time by members of the animation field, the only Tom and Jerry cartoon to make the list.[11]
30 Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Mouse June 14, 1947 Tom tries to prevent Jerry from drinking his milk by poisoning it, but his plan completely backfires when the poison transforms Jerry into a monster. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Short Subject, Cartoon. Original titles are rarely found on a 16mm Agfa-Gevaert print with only one tiny splice at the Tom and Jerry card.
31 Salt Water Tabby July 12, 1947 Tom woos Toodles on the beach.
32 A Mouse in the House August 30, 1947 Tom and Butch compete against each other to catch Jerry on the housekeeper's orders, but she ends up kicking out all three animals. Rarely seen on Cartoon Network and Boomerang due to perceived racial abuse occurring in the end.
