Still Waters Posted March 14, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 14, 2018 They’ve been part of the backdrop to our lives for so long that it’s easy to forget that – in cat and mouse years anyway – Tom and Jerry’s running conflict must qualify as one of the longest double acts on record. Last month, the pair celebrated their 78th anniversary with the news that they are teaming up in a new animated movie with, of all people, Willy Wonka and his Chocolate factory. Their career goes back to the MGM cartoon department where animators Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera first met in around 1937. In 1939, after working on a number of ultimately unsuccessful cartoons, Hanna and Barbera decided to collaborate on a new animated series for the studio. https://theconversation.com/tom-and-jerry-and-why-theyre-a-cat-and-mouse-double-act-for-the-ages-91762 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
