Tom And Jerry Cartoon Archive New!
The archive traces their evolution from the 1940 debut Puss Gets the Boot —where Tom was named Jasper and Jerry was an unnamed mouse—to the refined, sleek character designs of the late 1940s and 1950s. This era represents the pinnacle of high-budget, hand-drawn animation, characterized by fluid character physics and expressive facial animation that conveyed complex narratives entirely without dialogue. Eras of Transformation: The Post-Hanna-Barbera Years
Includes Tom and Jerry Tales (2006), The Tom and Jerry Show (2014), and the 2021 live-action/CGI hybrid feature film. Key Characters in the Archive
A spinoff featuring childhood versions of the duo.
Several early Tom and Jerry cartoons are preserved in the United States National Film Registry due to their cultural and historical significance.
For nearly a century, the eternal battle between a cynical house cat and a clever mouse has captivated audiences worldwide. Created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera in 1940, Tom and Jerry redefined physical comedy in animation.
