Tom and Jerry – Puss Gets The Boot

Puss Gets the Boot is a caricature of a reel of animation and the first Tom and Jerry short, although not considered as such in the cartoon. It was released on February 10, 1940 by Metro-Goldwyn Mayer. It was produced by Rudolf Ising (who had virtually nothing to do with all production) and directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, his first collaboration that lasted over half a century, with musical supervision by Scott Bradley. The cartoon was animated by Carlos Urbano, Tony Pabian, Jack Zander, Peter Burness and Bob Allen.

The only screen credit on this film was “a Rudolf Ising production.” The film is characterized by the first appearances of characters that would later be christened Tom and Jerry and it would appear in more than 110 cartoons and short films, seven of which won the Oscar for Best Short Film: Cartoons. As such, Puss Gets the Boot gave the animated duo their first Oscar nomination, although short lost another Rudolf Ising MGM cartoon, The Milky Way. In short, the cat’s name is Jasper and the mouse is not given a name, but unofficially known as Jinx.
