Question

Do you like cartoons and cartoon films? Which one do you like best?

Answer in Brief

Solution

Yes, I like cartoons. The Tom and Jerry programme is my favourite cartoon. This classic series is beloved for its timeless humour, smart adventures, and chemistry between the iconic cat-and-mouse team. The combination of slapstick comedy and silent film-style storyline has charmed audiences for centuries, making it a beloved part of cartoon history.
