Hanna and Barbera held an intra-studio contest to give the pair a new name by drawing suggested names out of a hat animator John Carr won $50 with his suggestion of Tom and Jerry. Producer Fred Quimby, who ran the MGM animation studio, quickly pulled Hanna and Barbera off the other one-shot cartoons they were working on, and commissioned a series featuring the cat and mouse.

Tom and Jerry: The Movie is the first (and so far only) installment of the series where the famous cat-and-mouse duo regularly speak.
In 2000, TIME named the series one of the greatest television shows of all time.Ĭo-director William Hanna provided most of the squeaks, gasps, and other vocal effects for the pair, including the most famous sound effects from the series, Tom's leather-lunged scream (created by recording Hanna's scream and eliminating the beginning and ending of the recording, leaving only the strongest part of the scream on the soundtrack) and Jerry's nervous gulp.
Tom and Jerry has a worldwide audience that consists of children, teenagers and adults, and has also been recognized as one of the most famous and longest-lived rivalries in American cinema. The original series is notable for having won the Academy Award for Animated Short Film seven times, tying it with Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies as the theatrical animated series with the most Oscars. However Brewer notes no more than an "unconscious" echo of the older original in the naming of the cartoon. The term comes from Life in London, or Days and Nights of Jerry Hawthorne and his elegant friend Corinthian Tom (1823) by Pierce Egan. "Tom and Jerry" was a commonplace phrase for youngsters indulging in riotous behaviour in 19th-century London. Hanna and Barbera ultimately wrote and directed one hundred and fourteen Tom and Jerry cartoons at the MGM cartoon studio in Hollywood, California between 19, when the animation unit was closed.
Created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
