Who created Tom and Jerry?

Welcome to History's Not Boring! Mira and Finn are here to talk about cartoons! Did you know that Tom and Jerry didn't just pop onto your screen? Two super-smart guys, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, dreamed them up back in 1940! That's way before your parents were born! These two partners were incredible—they created the silliest, best cat-and-mouse cartoons EVER and won seven HUGE Academy Awards! That's like winning the biggest gold stars for their cartoons! But wait, there’s more! After Tom and Jerry, they went on to invent Yogi Bear, Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones, AND The Jetsons! Imagine inventing all those shows! We’re celebrating one of these cartoon geniuses today and learning how their amazing partnership changed how cartoons are made forever! Get ready for the history of the greatest cartoon team-up!
