Tom & Jerry have become a household name since launching in August 1940, when Hanna and Barbera joined forces to direct the furry feline and mouse in their first six-minute cartoon called "Puss Gets the Boot". The cartoon was an instant success and nominated for an Academy Award. As a fan favorite, the hilarious antics of cat and mouse continued throughout WWII and beyond. Jerry won audiences when he danced a sequence with Gene Kelly in the musical, "Anchors Aweigh" and the duo won an eighth Oscar in 1953. Things changed up in 1958 when MGM's animation studios closed. Shortly after Hanna and Barbera decided to launch its own television production company launching new cartoons and re-animating classics. Adults and kids alike love Tom & Jerry and Barratt & Company LTD issued a series of fifty cards featuring Tom & Jerry's favorite moments with their sweet cigarettes in 1971. Each card depicts a color picture highlighting a hilarious moment. Since the launch of this fifty-card series, Tom & Jerry have been in numerous new shows, cartoons, and movies.
