This is the holy grail. Produced by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera at MGM, these 114 (or 161, depending on how you count the Spike and Tyke spin-offs) shorts are the definitive versions. Classics like The Night Before Christmas (1941), Yankee Doodle Mouse (1943), and Johann Mouse (1952) won seven Academy Awards. An archive of this era requires original theatrical ratios (Academy ratio 1.37:1) and unedited violence.

The legendary Looney Tunes director brought his own style. Look for:

Do you have a rare acetate disc of a Tom and Jerry radio play? Or a laser disc from the 1990s? The archive always needs more curators.

Before you search for an archive, you must understand the distinct "ages" of Tom and Jerry. A true is not a monolith; it is a layered historical document.
