A great first appearance of the famous cat and mouse duo, 1 November 2007
10/10
Author: Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) from Canada

I always wonder what was Tom & Jerry's first cartoon ever; and now I know, that it is this short, it is a great first appearance of the famous cat and mouse duo; though in this short they are known as Jasper & Jinks.

Mammy Two-Shoes always cracks me up (not to be racial and stereotypical here,so don't worry folks) with the "O-W-T - Out!" and I also love the squeaky prayers of Jerry/Jinks too (it is SO cute). If anyone wonders which version of Tom & Jerry, that I love the most, it is Tom & Jerry from Hanna/Barbera (1940-1958); and from Looney Tunes animator Chuck Jones (1963-1967).
