In 1940, Hannah and Babela's "Cats Fired" was nominated for the 13 Academy Award for animated short film. The studio hopes to have a diversified animation product portfolio, so despite the success of The Fired Cat, Hannah and Babela director Fred Quimby don't want to make more cartoons about cats and mice.

However, Hannah and Babela, who were deeply surprised by the success of The Fired Cat, chose to ignore Quimby's boycott and continue to develop the theme of Tom and Jerry. Only this time, Hannah hopes to return to her original company and work for Eisen, who he thinks is very loyal to her.

Hannah and Babela met with Quimby. Quimby found that although Eisen was lucky enough to make the dismissed cat by himself, he never really contributed to the project. So Quimby gave Hannah and Babela the freedom to pursue their cat and mouse ideas. The most famous work of their career, Tom and Jerry, was born.
