Tom and Jerry (Van Beuren)
1930s animated characters created by the Van Beuren Studio
Tom and Jerry (Van Beuren)
Tom and Jerry, also known as Dick and Larry, is a series of short cartoons produced by Amedee J. Van Beuren and released by RKO Radio Pictures between 1931 and 1933. Each cartoon placed them in a new situation or occupation; the pair sang, danced and used musical effects and gags. The characters are not related to MGM's later cat‑and‑mouse characters; instead they are a human comedy duo: a tall, thin character (Tom) and a short, plump partner (Jerry) – a combination animation historians describe as “Mutt and Jeff-ish”.
