Tom and Jerry was created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, considered by many the greatest cartoonists in the history, and its production involved a lot of people including Chuck Jones and Fred Quimby, the most important members of the crew after Hanna and Barbera. Basically, the show is about a cat called Tom whose passion is chasing a mouse called Jerry. However, Jerry isn't a typical mouse. He is very smart and knows how to hide from Tom. Using several dangerous tools, weapons and artifacts, such as guns, axes, knifes and explosives, the cat and the mouse try to get rid of each other.
