Fourteen Tom and Jerry cartoons between 19 were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Short Subject: Cartoons, with seven of the shorts winning that award. Hanna and Barbera served as writer/directors of the Tom and Jerry cartoons until 1956, when they also became the producers. The first of these shorts, The Two Mouseketeers, won the 1951 Academy Award for the Best Short Subject: Cartoons.
Jerry and Tuffy were also featured together in a sub-series of Tom and Jerry cartoons set in 17th century France which featured the characters as musketeers. In later Tom and Jerry cartoons, Jerry acquired a young ward: a small grey mouse called "Tuffy" or "Nibbles" depending upon the cartoon, who was left on Jerry's doorstep as a foundling baby in the 1946 short The Milky Waif. Hanna and Barbera considered Tom and Jerry "the best of enemies", whose rivalry hid an unspoken amount of mutual respect, but in The Tom and Jerry Show (1975), they were purely friends/best friends/buddies. Instead of being a "cowering victim" of Tom Cat's short-tempered aggression, he took delight in besting, and even tormenting, his feline frenemy (even if Tom is just following orders or just minding his own business and is antagonized by Jerry). While the idea of a cat-and-mouse duo was considered shopworn by the 1940s, Hanna and Barbera decided to expand upon the standard expected cat and mouse relationship. distributor in Texas asked for follow-ups to Puss Gets the Boot. The name "Jerry" was chosen by MGM animator John Carr, who submitted "Tom and Jerry" as potential names for the duo after an important Loew's Inc. 4.11.1 Anchors Aweigh and Dangerous When Wet.
