'Tom & Jerry’; Eight decades with globally renowned cartoon
It's been 81 years since American animated series 'Tom & Jerry’ hit our TV screens in 1940. The short film series is one of the most-watched cartoons by many generations.
The cartoon series was created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera under Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGW).
The series centers on the rivalry between the titular characters of a cat named Tom and a mouse named Jerry. Many shorts also feature several recurring characters based around slapstick comedy.
Tom & Jerry became the highest-grossing animated short film series in the 60s, beating 'Looney Tunes'.
The cartoon comedy won a number of awards during its original run and even gave 'Disney' a run for their money.
Earlier in February 2021, the Twitter handle for Warner Bros. India unveiled that it is going to release ‘Tom & Jerry’ movie in cinemas on February 19.
It wrote, "Your favorite Childhood cartoon is now a major commotion movie. How excited are you for Tom and Jerry Movie? #TomandJerryMovie releasing in Cinemas on February 19 in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu."
