05/06/2022 One of the best entries to have the names of Tom & Jerry in it in decades, Tom and Jerry Tales has great animation, slapstick that remains faithful to the source material, memorable episodes that bring the characters to the 21st century while still remaining timeless and even having a fun score. Is it a work of art? Probably not. It WAS the classic cartoons from the '40s and '50s that got them a couple of Oscar wins. But the show is certainly a ton of fun and the memories of watching this show still stick with me even all these years later. Perfect counterprogramming for people like me whom, at the time, were largely indifferent to the popular anime-inspired action cartoons (I had a weird love/hate relationship with Ben 10 as a case in point). See more 07/11/2021 I just re-watched Tom & Jerry Tales when it was coming on TV, and oh my God it was so horrible! I can't see how anyone could have approved that atrocity. It seems as though they only wanted to sell off their ideas under a big label so that kids can watch them. This show has completely massacred Tom & Jerry in many ways. 1. The background music is underwhelming, and does not add to its comedy the way it used to do. It's also very repetitive. 2. Jerry's voice is annoying. He sounds like a child. And he makes unnecessary sounds like "Ahhhhh", "Hmmmm", "Heeheehee" etc. 3. The jokes are either absent or unfunny. The idea behind Tom & Jerry's sense of humour was how random stuff used to happen, like turning into a table on being hit by an anvil, or how Jerry would dance like a tribal while cooking Tom. This one either does not do any such thing, or even if it does it's so much diluted it doesn't even seem funny. It's like they could have done this with any other cartoon and that would have been acceptable. 4. It's only for kids. That ruins the whole point of Tom & Jerry. This is Tom & Jerry not Mickey Mouse. It's meant to entertain people of all age groups. Sure you may say it's a kids show to attract kids to Tom & Jerry, but that's wasn't needed in the first place. If a show is entertaining for all the age groups obviously kids will be attracted to it. This is one place the current Tom & Jerry show has nailed it. It's for all age groups. 5. Jerry. Always. Wins. Period. Because of course, he's small and cute so he has to be the good guy. Unlike the actual Tom & Jerry where Tom was just messing with Jerry, here Tom has been shown as a bad guy. Of course there's that one episode where Jerry is outdone by an ant, but that's what they're showing - the smaller guy is always the good guy. After watching this my respect for the ongoing Tom and Jerry Show has increased even more. It stayed true to its core and continues to carry a unique sense of humour forward.
