Auction History Result 1h019 TOM & JERRY stock South American '70s great art of classic cat & mouse battling! Date Sold 5/15/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded South American One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27 1/4" x 39 1/4" [69 x 100 cm]) (Learn More) Tom and Jerry, the circa 1970s stock poster for MGM's Tom & Jerry animated cat-and-mouse chase animated animation cartoon comedy shorts. The poster has great central violent artwork image of Tom & Jerry engaging in their usual feline cat & mouse hi-jinks (far more violent than any U.S. posters for this duo)! 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.
