If you haven't ever seen Tom and Jerry while growing up, you've really let go of a significant part of your childhood! In 1940, William Hanna and Joseph Barbara took the world by storm when they released their animated series based on a cat called Tom and his arch nemesis, a mouse called Jerry. The cartoon hit the popularity mark like a storm and became a ritual all across the world to grow up watching it, hence. The series earned 7 Academy awards and were amongst the most noticeable animations for kids, everywhere.
