TheTom and Jerry series consists of 163shorts produced and released between 1940 and 2005. Of these, 162 are theatrical shorts while one is a made-for-TV short, subsequently released in theatres.
The following 114 cartoons were directed byWilliam Hanna andJoseph Barbera at theMetro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio inHollywood, Los Angeles. All cartoons were released to theaters byMetro-Goldwyn-Mayer.Rudolf Ising was the producer ofPuss Gets the Boot; subsequent cartoons were produced byFred Quimby through 1955. Quimby retired in 1955 and from 1955 to 1957, Hanna and Barbera produced the shorts until MGM closed the cartoon studio in 1957, and the last cartoon was released in 1958.[1] Most of these cartoons were produced in the standardAcademy ratio (1.37:1). Four cartoons were produced for both Academy Ratio andCinemaScope formats (2.55:1, later 2.35:1). Finally, 19 cartoons were produced in widescreen CinemaScope format only (though reissues have the standard Academy ratio 1.37:1 instead).
Like the other studios, MGM reissued and edited its cartoons when rereleased to theaters. Many pre-1952 cartoons were reissued withPerspecta Sound, which was introduced in 1954. MGM also reissued its cartoons before the introduction of Perspecta Sound. Because of the1965 MGM vault fire, all original film of pre-September-1951 MGM cartoons are lost, leaving only the backup prints (usually the altered reissue prints), although some production artwork relating to the missing material has survived, like pencil sketches.[2]
