The Tom and Jerry cartoons appear to be missing from IMDb. Based on some old links, it's ID used to be "tt0274294". Am I missing something?

Matthew: See the discussion thread at http://www.imdb.com/board/bd0000042/n... for an explanation.

In summary, "Tom and Jerry" had been listed in IMDb as though it were a television series that began in 1940, even though the Tom and Jerry cartoons that were distributed beginning in 1940 were distributed theatrically and television broadcasting as we know it barely existed at that time.

There were several later television series of Tom and Jerry cartoons, but it was impossible to match the entry at tt0274294 with any of them, so that entry was deleted from the database.

The individual Tom and Jerry theatrical cartoons are still listed as separate entries under their own respective titles.
