Let's not forget Walt Disney's Donald Duck and Goofy, either. Loony Tunes cartoons are also very good, especially Daffy Duck and Road Runner. You're right, Greenkitten, the Deitch Tom and Jerry cartoon certainly weren't the best of the bunch, but the older ones and some of the newer ones certainly are classics.

To me that makes LT the best cartoon of all time. Looney Tunes in its most recognizable form (Mel Blanc voice overs) lasted from 1937 to 1969. Tom & Jerry only lasted in its original form (Hanna-Barbera) for 18 years. That program has more recognizable characters, a greater fan following and also longevity. That said, it is not the greatest cartoon ever. They shunned the need for dialogue and relied on the unexpected beauty of physical violence and accompanied music to create the kind of hilarity that is rare in any age. Tom and Jerry was an all-time great in the animated industry. Later!ĮJ Lambert from Chicago, IL on May 19, 2013: The animation in those was positively Disney-esque. But I think the classic Tom and Jerry cartoons are the best ever. You're right about Loony Tunes - they've certainly produced some of the best cartoons ever.

It was a classic series worthy of the praise it gets. The 1975 Tom & Jerry not very good?! Not very good, my foot! It's unbelievably good better than you'd think a cartoon could be!ĮJ Lambert from Chicago, IL on May 20, 2013: I believe Hannah and Barbera directed those for MGM. The best for me were the ones from the era with the duck. I liked a few of the Gene versions, but not at all my preference. I believe Chuck jones' version is the one where Tom had the pointy, angry eyebrows. LaZeric Freeman from Hammond on January 15, 2014:


The Tom and Jerry cartoons have a different look for every era, which is to be expected, I suppose, no matter how much we prefer those 'toons from the classic era, the 1940s or so. Kelley Marks (author) from Sacramento, California on January 16, 2014:

I think he's way funnier & besides he's so much more original & Sylvester's so much more predictable & I think Tom's more fun considering he doesn't have anywhere near as much bad luck. The 1975 T&J is not insipid! It's very pleasant. The conclusion has Tom turned into the new musical instrument: The dog plucks the cat's tail, while the mouse plays on his whiskers.I agree the 1975 T&J's not very good. Finally, Jerry understands that his only course of action is to release Spike, who instantly goes on the offensive- but not before absurdly exchanging his standard teeth with a far more terrifying set. Until, of course, his singing bothers the little mouse, triggering him to take the necessary steps via a clothes iron-laden custard pie. RELATED: 10 Best Cartoon Network Holiday Episodes, According to IMDb Tom's performance of Louis Jordan's hit 1946 song, "Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby" is one of the best and most iconic parts of this short. He instantly knocks the dog out and binds him firmly, leaving the poor canine to watch in anger as the cat bounces away in glee. Tom arrives to woo Toodles Galore with a bizarre cello/double bass combo instrument. Solid Serenade brings Spike back into action, except that the whole episode takes place in a backyard.
