Tom and Jerry, the quintessential cat and mouse act have been chasing each other for over 50 years. Here is the official history of the feuding twosome: from their creation by Hanna and Barbera, through the classic Tom and Jerry era of the forties and fifties to their modern incarnations. The book goes behind the scenes to explore how storyboards were planned, how gags were designed and mimed for laughs, how tunes of hit songs were used to replace dialogue or narration and to enhance the flow of the storylines. It takes an in-depth look at Tom and Jerry's award winning films. It tells how Tom and Jerry made a successful transfer to television, pioneering new animation techniques, and provides a light-hearted account of a wide variety of merchandise available. Fully illustrated with storyboards, animation cells, rough sketches and photographs. A magnificent collectors copy. Very Good/Fine/Very Good/Fine.
