An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded French "Affiche" Movie Poster (23x32; measures 23 1/4" x 31 1/2" [59 x 80 cm]) (Learn More) La Ronde Joyeuse de Tom Et Jerry (literally translates to "Round Merry Tom & Jerry"), the 1970s (perhaps 1970) French Tom & Jerry cat-and-mouse chase animated animation cartoon comedy short compilation. Note that we don't know this item was for a specific group of cartoons, or just a generic item where the theater could choose their own. Also note that we don't know if this compilation was released in any other countries (possibly under a different name). Foreign posters for Tom & Jerry tend to be far more violent (and far more true to the spirit of the actual cartoons!) than the bland U.S. posters from the same time period! Note that Tom and Jerry is a classic series of cartoons created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. The first one was created in 1940, and there as a total of 114 cartoons through 1957. Seven of these won Academy Awards for Best Cartoon, tying for most wins with Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies. There were around 50 more cartoons created after the first run ended, through the early 2000s, and there were also TV shows based on these classic characters. Some people have criticized the cartoons for their "excessive violence", but actually no blood or gore was ever shown in any of them, and this type of violence is commonly referred to as "cartoon violence". Many of the Tom and Jerry cartoons are extremely clever and make wonderful use of music. They are not nearly as appreciated today as they should be, but in their day, they were among the most popular cartoons of the 1940s! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
