Warner Bros. filled our lives with happiness and endless laughter when they introduced Tom and Jerry to us. From Tom's silliness to Jerry's clever mind, the iconic duo have become an irreplaceable part of our lives. Created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, the show debuted in the year 1940. The series centres around the rivalry of a cat named Tom and a mouse named Jerry.

Many of us know that The Flintstones was the first primetime animated show on TV. Created by Hanna-Barbera Productions, the cartoon series was set in the Stone Age and revolved around Fred and Wilma Flintstone, their children, and their pet dinosaur Dino. They also had neighbours and best friends, Barney and Betty Rubble. The adventures of the Flintstones are still fun to watch.
