Tom and Jerry Guía y cronología
Tom's next attempt to catch Jerry is usually the beginning of his own problem. Their rivalry turns household objects, unexpected allies and small acts of revenge into elaborate slapstick. Different generations of shorts, television series and films keep reinventing the chase, without requiring the cat and mouse to remember every earlier disaster.

Tom and Jerry: Start Another Chase
Begin with the original theatrical shorts for the classic rivalry, or choose a television series or feature. An independent adventure does not require decades of earlier chases first.

A shorts era collects many releases, and a younger-cast or fantasy version need not supply the past or future of every other cartoon.
Overview & recommendation
Tom and Jerry usually begin with all the information a viewer needs: someone wants something, someone else objects, and an ordinary room is about to become a machine for revenge. The pleasure lies in how the chase develops, not in remembering a previous adventure's exact outcome.
The different production eras offer changes in animation and comic timing. Films can move the pair into a larger plot or an openly borrowed fantasy world. Those are reasons to choose by style and premise, rather than assume the characters must live through every short before reaching a later feature.
Sample the original shorts, then explore the later cartoon eras if their different approach interests you. Start a selected television series or film on its own terms. Use Release order for an animation-history tour, with an era's opening date understood as the beginning of many cartoons rather than the day all were published.
