What if William Hanna and Joseph Barbera worked for Warner Bros. after leaving MGM and retained the rights for Tom and Jerry

What if William Hanna and Joseph Barbera worked for Warner Bros. after leaving MGM and retained the rights for Tom and Jerry? Well, here's what might happen.

History
Following the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio closedown in early 1957, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, contemplating their future while completing the final Tom and Jerry cartoons, began producing animated TV commercials. During their final year at MGM, they developed a concept for an animated TV program about a dog and cat in various misadventures. After they failed to convince the studio to back their venture, Hanna and Barbera were convinced by fellow animators Friz Freleng and Robert McKimson to join the Warner Bros. Cartoons unit. As a result, both producers signed a deal with Warner Bros. to finance their projects and as part of the deal, the production rights for Tom and Jerry (created by the duo) and Droopy (created by former Warner Bros. animator Tex Avery) were acquired by the studio.
