Tom and Jerry in New York

It's definitely different. While it has a similar vibe due to it being in the style of The Tom and Jerry Show (2014~2021). I'm not sure which I liked more. The duo/trio felt more human in the Show, while in NY, they're less like people. Tom's definitely more heartless and Jerry is more of a nuisance, while Spike is only an occasional appearance. Perhaps with that, I would say I prefer the Show over NY. Plus, the humans had more personality than just being set pieces.

Visually, NY is the same, due to it being the same team as the Show. It's still colorful, and still full of all sorts of antics.

When it comes down to sound and music, it's classy, very "New York". Characters don't always speak, which really shows a difference a bit of dialogue can add. Voice contains life and personality.

I mean, yeah, it makes sense Tom would ignore a drowing bird, but if he's the one who caused it, there's not much reason for him to ignore it. The best shorts are when they have some sort of a truce, or there's a win-win of some sort. After all, it's "and", not "versus".

It just feels like there's something missing. Even so, NY is an enjoyable enough set of Tom & Jerry stories. It's just jarring after having watched roughly three seasons of the Show, not knowing 2 more seasons had been produced until just now. Though I do wonder about the future of Tom & Jerry now that HBO has been doing it's animation removal and it's great purge. Hopefully this series will still be available somewhere once it inevitably disappears.

"Tom and Jerry in New York" is ideal for children including teenagers. It's funny and interesting. But I consider that children prefer " The Tom and Jerry Show" because it's funnier than this, adults appreciate it more than " Tom and Jerry in New York".

Tom and Jerry is well-beloved for its over-the-top violence and slapstick, and it'd be nothing without that trademark humor. Despite this, moral guardians have pushed the series to be less violent. As such, recent Tom and Jerry media has been quite...safe.

This show is no exception. It's made to promote the 2021 movie and is a continuation of the Tom and Jerry Show from 2014. Both shows have/had a lot of potential, and the directors and staff are talented, but the problem is limited budget. I know that it has a limited budget because of WB's buffoonery, so they can't really improve it.

As I said, the show is safe. The slapstick is still there, but it doesn't hit as hard as it could have. Big WB cartoon franchises like this and Scooby-Doo are kept on a pretty tight leash, and while the experimentation isn't bad, their recent media ends up being quite dull and bland, and the hardships behind the scenes don't help matters.

Of course kids will love this, and they're free to - every single generation loves Tom and Jerry and that's the beauty of it. But as for me, I'll hold out hope that Pete Browngardt will make new Tom and Jerry shorts like he did for Looney Tunes.

You know, as someone who finds the recent film a guilty pleasure I can safely assure you this show is just about everything what the former was lacking. While the animation isn't much to write home about the visuals, writing, and especially that god tier soundtrack more than compensates for it. Honestly its rather unfortunate how the trailer didn't do any favors at all which I can tell probably turned off a lot of people but if you can ignore the obvious budget restraints and minor faults here and there you'll find to see a faithful yet creative piece of entertainment without all of the studio meddling Warner loves to do all the time. A real shock how much better Tom and Jerry content turns out when you actually have Tom and Jerry as the lead characters instead of live action people you never cared about.
