By the late 1980s, McDonald’s was pairing that classic animation with the Happy Meal, turning movie and TV characters into complete “experiences” with themed toys, cups, and packaging.

The printing on this example still pops, with Tom in his band outfit, Jerry on drums, Spike on bass, and Droopy looking sleepy but ready to play.
