An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Smitten Kitten, the 1952 Joseph Barbera & William Hanna (Hanna-Barbera) animated animation cartoon feline cat & mouse Tom & Jerry comedy short (produced by Fred Quimby; in this late entry in the series, Hanna and Barbera apparently got lazy, because they used a framing device to reuse clips from several past cartoons, but if you haven't seen the earlier ones, it makes this sort of a "best of..." cartoon!; in this one, Tom falls for a pretty cat, and Jerry's Devil-like conscience appears to remind him of how this worked out in the past, and you see funny clips from the past cartoons with the exact same plot!) featuring the voice of Paul Frees. 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.
