Tom and Jerry was originally the very first, and earliest of the Hanna-Barbera Cartoons. It went through many phases and took place from anywhere from inside a house, to anywhere in outer space. The show was of course, about a cat and a mouse, and several other characters. The two never really talked, even though they do sing, yell, gasp, laugh, count, or say Aha! ; and that several other characters spoke more often. They would later end up in several TV series, and also in a few movies, however many would say that they didnt like the way the movies turned out. All of the episodes were distributed by MGM.
