Is tom and jerry a tall tale?

No, "Tom and Jerry" is not considered a tall tale. It is an animated series created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, featuring the comedic rivalry between a cat (Tom) and a mouse (Jerry). Tall tales are typically exaggerated, fictional stories that often involve larger-than-life characters and implausible events, whereas "Tom and Jerry" focuses on slapstick humor and cartoon physics without the narrative style of tall tales.
