Tom and Jerry Tales

I like Tom and Jerry Tales very much. Of course it isn't as good as the original show, which still is one of my all time favourites. It does keep true to the spirit of the original show, and enormously entertaining. The animation is very colourful and fluid, and the theme tune is great.

The antics of Tom and Jerry are hilarious, and the two completely wonderful characters still have their likability. The situations they get in are enough to make you howl with laughter, some of it is wickedly funny. If I had any complaints, it would be the inclusion of other characters, like Droopy. Like the other reviewer said, they just seemed unnecessary. Other than that, while not as good as the wonderful classic show, it is still hugely enjoyable, well worth watching and one of the better Tom and Jerry shows out there. 8/10 Bethany Cox

While I like the Tom and Jerry shows art style and jokes this one is more clever on location and story. The jokes are fine but the music isn't really that good.

Why, you might ask me? Well, because the writers took two classic characters, and created an excuse for animation. Tom & Jerry were placed in absolutely stupid settings and the episodes were filled with the most generic and mediocre humor you can find anywhere.

But not only humor is generic and mediocre, some of the episodes are directly ripped of the classic ones. Don't want to spoil anything, but, let's just say, one involves an octopus and takes place under water. Yes, the Tom & Jerry scene from Dangerous When Wet.

You thought Chuck Jones' Tom & Jerry ruined the characters??? Just wait till you see this abomination!

The first time that I watched Tom and Jerry Tales was when it came out in 2006, and this show really is a childhood favorite of mine.

The part of this show that's entertaining and amusing is that it's clever, and it stays traditional and true to the good, old-fashioned, New York city-boy humor, just like the original show did along with many other cartoons of the same nature and time.

General culture portrays the big city as a place for the sounds of smooth, cool big bands and blues, a mob group snapping in dark alleys, fine dining, wide open cosmopolitan scenery, and the sound of a humorous and sinister Italian-American accent from Brooklyn. Those are just some of the cultural characteristics that this show has stayed traditional with, comparing it to how we always knew the culture from humor in a New York perspective.

Tom and Jerry and their setting of where they've always lived is usually recognized as New York, because you see alley cats eating from the trash cans, you hear big bands and swing, and Tom and Jerry chase each other through downtown areas many times.

What's clever about this show is that the portrayal of every character has its own special humor, even the side characters, and it's a culture all on its own that stays class-bound to its way of personality.

As any cartoon or animated film would do, it's typical for the characters to act clever as a way to allure you, and Tom and Jerry Tales sure has its humor.

I just found out about these and I love them! Of course they're not as great as the classics but you can feel that they try really hard to capture the classic feel and I love that!
