Hanna and Barbara's Tom and Jerry films are the epitome of the Hollywood cartoon. They took a simple premise and added funny gags and great animation to create a perfect entertainment series. The characters in and of themselves are funny: they mangy gray cat Tom, the innocent yet wise mouse Jerry. Both are obsessed: one will do anything to catch his prey, the other will do anything to survive. A typical "Tom & Jerry" is anything but typical. The Truce Hurts breaks with tradition with hilarious results as Tom, Jerry and Spike each sign a peace treaty. Heavenly Puss begins with a typically violent chase which causes Tom's death! The remainder of the cartoon has Tom pleading with Jerry to sign a certificate of forgiveness, or face the bulldog from hell. Other cartoons such as Salt Water Tabby , The Cat and the Mermouse and Love that Pup show off the diversity of the series and prove that Tom and Jerry were worthy of their starring status and their seven Academy Awards!
