Tom and Jerry childhood and youth friend and I think old age too ๐..
Created by William Bin Ibrahim Abboud Hanna, a Syrian Arab born in the United States of America.
He studied structural engineering, but did not complete his studies due to the high costs, so he turned to drawing ๐๐
He worked in an animation studio, until he met Joseph Barbara, who worked with him at the “Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer” company in 1937, then they created the cat and mouse character for the company in 1939.
_ Look how long it is ๐_
And their names were not Tom and Jerry at first, the name of the cat was Jasper and the mouse Jinx, until the company announced a competition to find another name for them and the prize was only $ 50, and a person named John Carey won it.
William Hanna and Joseph Barbara formed a successful duo, as William drew and produced, and Joseph drew, and together they established the “Hanna Barbara” company for the production of animated films in 1957.
The duo, Hanna and Barbara, won seven Oscars in seven years, and were nominated 14 times.
The soundtrack was played by a symphony orchestra, mixing jazz and classical music, composed by “the father of cartoon music,” Scott Bradley.
