This is a complete list of the 166 shorts in the Tom and Jerry series produced and released between 1940 and 2021. Of these, 162 are theatrical shorts, one is a made-for-TV short, one is a two-minute sketch shown as part of a telethon, and two are special shorts released on HBO Max.

1940–58: Hanna–Barbera/MGM cartoons

The following 114 cartoons were directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio in Hollywood, California. All cartoons were released to theaters by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Rudolf Ising was the producer of Puss Gets the Boot; subsequent cartoons were produced by Fred Quimby through 1955. Quimby retired in 1955 and from 1955 to 1957, Hanna and Barbera produced the shorts until MGM closed the cartoon studio in 1957, and the last cartoon was released in 1958.[1] Most of these cartoons were produced in the standard Academy ratio (1.37:1). Four cartoons were produced for both Academy Ratio and CinemaScope formats (2.55:1, later 2.35:1). Finally, 19 cartoons were produced in widescreen CinemaScope format only (though reissues have the standard Academy ratio 1.37:1 instead).

Like the other studios, MGM reissued and edited its cartoons when rereleased to theaters. Many pre-1952 cartoons were reissued with Perspecta Sound, which was introduced in 1954. MGM also reissued its cartoons before the introduction of Perspecta Sound. Because of the 1965 MGM vault fire, all original film of pre-September-1951 MGM cartoons are lost, leaving only the backup prints (usually the altered reissue prints), although some production artwork relating to the missing material has survived, like pencil sketches.[2]

# Prod.Num. Title Date Summary Notes
13 104 The Zoot Cat February 26, 1944 Tom and Jerry try to impress Toots by wearing a zoot suit. Unusual for a Tom and Jerry cartoon, characters speak lengthy lines.
14 109 The Million Dollar Cat May 6, 1944 Tom inherits a million dollars on one condition: He must avoid causing harm to any animal, which Jerry uses to his advantage. Scott Bradley received the only music credit for this short, but examination of the archived orchestral score bears the inscription, ‘Adapted by Ted Duncan’. As Barrier has remarked in Hollywood Cartoons, this score is very unlike Bradley’s other work of the period, since it ‘sounds like ordinary dance-band music, related only tenuously to the cartoon action’. It seems plausible that Duncan adapted the score from pre-existing songs because Bradley was unavailable, and the latter received credit for contractual reasons.[3]
