It was released onto the theater circuit on Februand the pair were advised by management not to produce anymore cartoons about the cat and the mouse. The short, Puss Gets the Boot, featured a cat then named Jasper and an unnamed mouse (named Jinx in pre-production) and an African-American housemaid named Mammy Two Shoes. The pair discussed their ideas with MGM cartoon studio head Fred Quimby, who gave them the green-light to produce one cartoon short despite a lack of interest in it. An early thought involved a fox and a dog before they settled on a cat and mouse. Barbera then teamed with fellow Ising unit animator and director William Hanna and pitched new ideas, among them was the concept of two 'equal characters who were always in conflict with each other'.

Mayer wished to boost the animation department by encouraging the artists to develop some new cartoon characters, following the lack of success with its earlier cartoon series based on the Captain and the Kids comic strip. In June 1937, animator and story man Joseph Barbera began to work for the Ising animation unit at MGM, the largest studio in Hollywood at the time. The two would eventually be rehired, however. The Happy Harmonies regularly ran over budget, and MGM dismissed Harman-Ising in 1937 to start its own animation studio. These were known as Happy Harmonies, and in many ways resembled the Looney Tunes' sister series, Merrie Melodies. Harman and Ising came to MGM after breaking ties with Leon Schlesinger and Warner Bros., and brought with them their popular Looney Tunes character, Bosko. In 1934, MGM contracted with animation producers/directors Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising to produce a new series of color cartoons. 2 Early development and Puss Gets the BootД«efore Tom and Jerry MGM branches into cartoons.1 Before Tom and Jerry MGM branches into cartoons.So, avoid this unnecessary slur on the great duo's name, and stick with THE REAL THING. This film doesn't even give you that in its whole hour and a half running time. I'm more than happy with my complete set of Tom and Jerry shorts on DVD, where they provide ample amusement for a five minute period. Dukes Of Hazard and Bewitched, are you taking notes? What else is there to add? Shall I talk about the shoddy animation? Perhaps the paint-by-numbers plot? Or the fascinating cast of supporting characters, which include a pup and his performing, wisecracking flea, another dog who wears a baseball cap and rides a skateboard everywhere, or the schizophrenic carnival guy with the puppet who has a mind of its own? To be honest, you can keep them. However, it is a great advert against taking a classic show, expanding it beyond it's natural length and tinkering with the story just to make a lousy movie. That of course, that a hilarious satire about the dangers of over-censorship.

It reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Marge forced TV execs to tone down the Itchy & Scratchy cartoon for fear that children were emulating the violence. Jerry sounds like a girl, and Tom has a very fake New York accent!! And what's worse, they're allowed to sing!! Songs so dreadful that even Westlife would have turned them down!! Believe me, you haven't lived till you've seen Tom and Jerry dueting on a sappy ballad about what friends are for.

See? This film has only gone and broken one of the sacred rules. There are three things that must be obeyed in life: a) The Pope must be Catholic b) British summers must get shorter and wetter every year c) Tom and Jerry must never be allowed to speak.
