Tom & Jerry (1930s/40s).
The wordless/slapstick humor can compete with the best silent movies, the cutting, the tempo, the sensational montage of music/sounds/pictures are still outstanding and were way ahead of their time.
No wonder that 60, 70 years later kids still love these shorts today (there was an online poll for most favourite cartoons lately on the local Cartoon Network and the children voted for T&J by a mile).
In my opionion only a few of the best Disney cartoon shorts (i.e. those with Donald and/or Chip & Chap) can compete with the brilliance of the 30s/40s Tom & Jerry cartoons.
