Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was originally a one-off called 'Jasper' — test audiences loved it so much that MGM demanded more, but the names got changed to Tom and Jerry after focus groups.
The original Mammy Two-Shoes voice by Lillian Randolph was redubbed by Thea Vidale in the 1990s, making this one of the most altered cartoons in history.
