What was your favourite cartoon growing up? Your ultimate favourite cartoon? Yes, we know it was Tom and Jerry. You could still watch it today and not get bored. It’s that amazing part of your childhood that you still watch growing up. Tom and Jerry made their debut over 80 years ago when the short movie Puss Gets the Boot was released in theaters on February 10, 1940.
