  • November 16: The Tom & Jerry cartoon Blue Cat Blues is first released, produced by MGM. It features a controversial ending in which the duo commit suicide by waiting on a railroad track for the train to come. Contrary to urban legend, though, it is not the final episode of the series. The final short produced at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer was Tot Watchers in 1958, and the final short overall was Purr-Chance to Dream, produced by Chuck Jones in 1967.
