Matsuya Ginza "The 80th Anniversary of Tom and Jerry Exhibition"
"Tom and Jerry" was born in the United States in 1940. It was aired on TV in Japan in 1964, and even today it continues to be very popular with a wide range of generations.
I think you can call it a "three generation character" loved by children, parents and grandparents. I think the charm of the work is the funny and laughing battle woven by a little cat Tom and a crazy rat Jerry.
The creator of the birth is "Hannah-Berberra", which is familiar to generations born in the 30s and 40s, such as "Chiki Chiki Machine Takeshi Race", "Daima King Shazan", "Prito Family Flint Stone", and "Super Three".
In commemoration of this "Tom and Jerry" celebrating its 80th anniversary in 2020, a large-scale exhibition will be held at Matsuya Ginza.
In addition to about 200 valuable original drawings that will be the world's first release, valuable materials such as early cell drawings, character goods from the time, and nostalgic animations will be displayed.
The structure to be exhibited is as follows.
Chapter 1 From the birth of "Tom and Jerry" to the secret story of series production
Chapter 2 Introduction of Academy Awards Winners, etc.
Exhibition of Chapter 3 series, feature films, early cell paintings and goods
Chapter 4 Introduction of Popular TV series that lead to Japanese anime culture
The latest editions and collaborative works of creators who grew up in Chapter 5 "Tom and Jerry"
I think it's an event where you can touch on how Tom and Jerry was born and loved for a long time. In addition, goods limited to exhibitions will be released.
If you are a fan, why don't you visit it?
