    The series features comic fights between an iconic pair of adversaries, a house cat (Tom) and a

    mouse (Jerry). The plots of each short usually center on Tom and Jerry's numerous attempts to
    have the best of each other and the mayhem and destruction that follows. Despite Tom's clever
    strategies (whether they work or not), determined and energetic mindset, large size, and
    exceptional overall intelligence, he rarely succeeds in getting the best of Jerry, mainly because of
    Jerry's cunning abilities, luck, and his lack of tendencies in being a bit too reckless. However, on
    several occasions, they have displayed genuine friendship and concern for each other's well-
    being. At other times, the pair set aside their rivalry in order to pursue a common goal, such as
    when a baby escapes the watch of a negligent babysitter, causing Tom and Jerry to pursue the
    baby and keep it away from danger, in the shorts Busy Buddies and Tot Watchers respectively.
    Despite their endless attacks on one another, they have saved each other's lives every time they
    were truly in danger, except in The Two Mouseketeers, which features an uncharacteristically
    dark ending.

    The cartoons are known for some of the most violent cartoon gags ever devised in theatrical
    animation: Tom may use axes, hammers, firearms, firecrackers, explosives, traps and poison to
    kill Jerry. On the other hand, Jerry's methods of retaliation are far more violent, with frequent
    success, including slicing Tom in half, decapitating him, shutting his head or fingers in a window
    or a door, stuffing Tom's tail in a waffle iron or a mangle, kicking him into a refrigerator, getting
    him electrocuted, pounding him with a mace, club or mallet, letting a tree or electric pole drive
    him into the ground, sticking matches into his feet and lighting them, tying him to a firework and
    setting it off, and so on.[2] While Tom and Jerry has often been criticized as excessively violent,
    there is no blood or gore in any scene.[3]:42[4]:134

    Music plays a very important part in the shorts, emphasizing the action, filling in for traditional
    sound effects, and lending emotion to the scenes. Musical director Scott Bradley created
    complex scores that combined elements of jazz, classical, and pop music; Bradley often reprised
    contemporary pop songs, as well as songs from MGM films, including The Wizard of Oz and
    Meet Me in St. Louis, which both starred Judy Garland in a leading role.

    Generally, there is little dialogue as Tom and Jerry almost never speak; however, minor
    characters are not similarly limited, and the two lead characters do speak English on rare
    occasions. For example, the character Mammy Two Shoes has lines in nearly every cartoon in
    which she appears. Most of the vocal effects used for Tom and Jerry are their high-pitched
    laughs and gasping screams.
