Volume 1-12 List

The Tom and Jerry series was created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera in 1940.

The first Tom and Jerry cartoon, "Puss Gets the Boot," was released in 1940 and won an Academy Award for Best Short Subject (Cartoon). The series went on to become one of the most popular and enduring cartoons of all time, with over 160 episodes produced between 1940 and 1958.
