<!---See the talk page for explanation about aspect ratios, thank you!---> The following 114 cartoons were directed by [[William Hanna]] and [[Joseph Barbera]] at the [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio]] in [[Hollywood, Los Angeles]]. All cartoons were released to theaters by [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]]. [[Rudolf Ising]] was the producer of ''Puss Gets the Boot''; subsequent cartoons were produced by [[Fred Quimby]] through 1955. Quimby retired in 1955 and from 1955 to 1957, Hanna and Barbera produced the shorts until MGM closed the cartoon studio in 1957, and the last cartoon was released in 1958.<ref>Leonard Maltin's book of Mice and Magic: History of American Animated Cartoons</ref> Most of these cartoons were produced in the standard [[Academy ratio]] (1.37:1). Four cartoons were produced for both Academy Ratio and [[CinemaScope]] formats (2.55:1, later 2.35:1). Finally, 19 cartoons were produced in widescreen CinemaScope format only (though reissues have the standard Academy ratio 1.37:1 instead).
<!---See the Talk page for explanation---> Like the other studios, MGM reissued and edited its cartoons when re-released to theaters. Many pre-1951 cartoons were reissued with [[Perspecta|Perspecta Sound]], which was introduced in 1954. MGM also reissued its cartoons before the introduction of Perspecta Sound. Because of the [[1965 MGM vault fire]], all original film of pre-September-1951 MGM cartoons are lost, leaving only the backup prints (usually the altered reissue prints), although some production artwork relating to the missing material has survived, like pencil sketches.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.cartoonresearch.com/mgm.html |title=MGM Titles |archive-date=June 1, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100601052841/http://www.cartoonresearch.com/mgm.html }}</ref>

It seems plausible that Duncan adapted the score from pre-existing songs because Bradley was unavailable, and the latter received credit for contractual reasons.<ref name=Alexander2015>[https://theses.gla.ac.uk/6809/1/2015AlexanderPhd.pdf ''Happy Harmonies and Disturbing Discords: Scott Bradley's Music for MGM's Cartoons''], Helen Alexander, p. 145</ref> |- | scope="row" | 15 | ''The Bodyguard'' | July 13, 1944<ref>{{cite web |title=The Bodyguard - Earliest Known Date |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/journal-and-courier-the-bodyguard-earl/184569428/ |website=Journal and Courier |access-date=8 November 2025 |pages=11 |date=13 July 1944}}{{free access}}</ref> | Jerry frees Spike the bulldog from the dog-catcher's truck.
