An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) A Mouse in the House, the 1947 Joseph Barbera & William Hanna Tom & Jerry family animated animation cartoon comedy short ("A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Tom and Jerry Cartoon"; this is one of the better ones, and one of the more violent ones; Mammy tells Tom and Butch that whoever catches Jerry gets to stay, and the one that doesn't will have to leave, so the two start battling each other trying to catch Jerry, but he mostly outwits them, and Tom and Butch both disguise themselves as Mammy when Jerry is actually caught!) featuring the voice of Lillian Randolph (as Mammy Two-Shoes). 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.
