Tom and Jerry are the only two builders - William Hanna and Joseph Barbara. Both of them worked in the movie company named Metro Goldwyn Mayer. They made cartoons for this company. This company is still making cartoons. William Hanna and Joseph Barbara, however, did not create Tom and Jerry yet. Both of them died. William Hanna died in 2001, and Joseph Barbara died in 2006.
William Hanna and Joseph Barbara Metro Goldwyn Mayer, briefly worked at the MGM Company's Rudolf Eying Unit. Hanna made stories and used to design characters; Barbara managed.
Since 1930 The unit is not very good. Their cartoon series Captain and the Kidz failed to the final. Hannah and Barbara sat in the discussion, what would be the cartoon made now. Barbara decided, let's make a cartoon with rats and cats; The name 'Pus Gets the Boot'. The name of the cat in the story is exactly Jasper, the name of the rat is junk. The story of the cartoon was also very interesting; Jesser is pulling him out to catch the jingx. Suddenly, a flower tub broke down. Where else goes, Jasper's Afro-American Malkin shouted - if you break another thing, you'll be thrown out. Jassaar's book was dried in fear. And Jingx got fun too. And started throwing everything in the house, everything that was broken. And Jasper started catching up with all of life.
Here's a cartoon of beautiful stories, but MGM colleagues could not be so optimistic about this cartoon of Hannah Barbera. they said, thats no matter? The old monologue of rat-cat
On February 10, 1940, Pus Gets the Boot was released. It's also fair business. But what has been the result, Hanna-Barber, instead of making these funny cartoons of the mouse-cat, the work of two cartoons named Goloping Galles and Officer Pouch was given.
But all reckoning turned out, when Pose Gets the Boot was nominated for the Oscars in 1941. Of course, the cartoon did not win Oscar at all, on the forehead of another MGM cartoon The Milky Way in the Oscars Alliance. But nomination was enough to change like producer Fred Quimby. He urged Hannah Barbarake to make a series of cartoon series with the story of the mouse-cat. They also handled the work of handling their favorite series.
Now the series needs a name. What is the name given, tell me? Nobody could fix the name. Then they organized a competition; Whose name is selected, he will get 50 dollars. John Carr named an anime Tom and Jerry won the name of 50 dollars.
Hanna-Barbara started working full time. The first cartoon of Tom and Jerry was released in 1941 - The Midnight Snack. And since then, Hannah-Barbara did not give up on any other work except Tom and Jerry, who made Tom and Jerry the whole life. And their work is such magic, yet boys and young people are crazy to say Tom and Jerry. Tom and Jerry hear the story? I was sitting here to see Tom and Jerry, how?
