Tom & Jerry (1940s/50s only)

Is there a diffrence?

For me, yes.

In my opinion the T&J cartoons of the 40s/50s are the best cartoons ever created (Hanna-Barbera era, 1940-58).

The T&J cartoons of the 60s were horrible (Gene Deitch era, 1960-62) and mediocre (Chuck Jones era, 1963-67) in comparison.

I'm not sure of the difference. They all have the same formula, the only real difference I could see between the different eras is the animation of the characters, especially Tom.

Montana, NOOOOOO!!

Just watch one of the best (imo), e.g. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Two_Mouseketeers  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcszzKvsKGs or

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bowling_Alley_Cat  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=438mFEQvpJs

and compare it to one the worst, e.g.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Steaks or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_Greek_to_Me-ow

(it seems both are unavailable on youtube)

The animations, the ideas, the humor, the music, the pace, the editing, the sound effects, the charm: Everyting was way better in the Hanna-Barbera era.
