I love Tom and Jerry.
Me too! I can't believe it was created in 1940! 
That is a long time ago.
It was and William Hanna and Joseph Barbera created it. 
I have never heard of them.
They won seven different Academy Awards for it. 
That is a lot of awards.
There were a bunch of different spin off shows as well, the most recent one being The Tom and Jerry Show.
