Tom and Jerry were created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, two young animators who met while working at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) studios in the 1940s. Their first cartoon, "Puss Gets the Boot," was released in 1940 and introduced the characters of Tom, a grey and white cat, and Jerry, a brown mouse. The cartoon was a huge success, and the duo went on to create 114 more Tom and Jerry shorts between 1940 and 1958.
