Auction History Result 8r977 TOM & JERRY CARTOON FESTIVAL Aust daybill 1960s MGM's most entertaining program ever! Date Sold 7/9/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Theatrical Folded Australian Daybill Movie Poster (db; measures 13 1/4" x 30" [34 x 76 cm]) (Learn More) Tom and Jerry Cartoon Festival, the 1960s compilation of 12 (some posters say 11!) classic MGM Tom & Jerry animated animation cat-and-mouse cartoons ("Three in CinemaScope"). Also on the bill were other MGM non-cartoon short subjects! 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 that we don't know if this compilation was released in any other countries (possibly under a different name). If anyone knows more about it, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
