Springtime for Thomas, the 1946 Joseph Barbera & William Hanna (Hanna-Barbera) animated animation cartoon feline cat & mouse Tom & Jerry comedy short (produced by Fred Quimby; in this entry, Tom is so smitten by the beautiful female cat, Toodles, he sees out the window that he completely stops chasing Jerry, and Jerry feels neglected, and he recruits a tough black cat to vie for Toodles' affections, which gets things back to normal; note that the tough black cat proved quite popular, and he made later appearances as "Butch", which was the original name for the bulldog, who had been renamed "Spike") featuring the voice of Frank Graham. 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.
