Tom et Jerry Tales

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.

I love this revival of the legendary (Tom & Jerry). After years of their older TV show, which was so unbearable sequel (Tom & Jerry-alleged-sons!), here the eternal chase continues, but wonderfully.

The secret this time is in the return to the original form of the 2 leads, their house, and even their reactions. The makers of these tales tried cleverly to capture the motion, the beat, and the sense of MGM's old shorts. This distinct aestheticism is here again somehow as so effective and nostalgic. Just watch (Jerry)'s classic burrow, the case of no visible human faces, and the musical opening credits, that's what I call a beautiful devotion. It assures how the original is purely pristine and mighty, and how it's a tough mission to remake it too.

Although it could be the perfect way to bring back the icons, but that old feeling is absent, and that unique spirit surely is not the same. For minor example, (Scott Bradley) isn't here to embody the visual extravaganza because it's not the 1940s, and the image is not that explosive too. I became so annoyed by the appearances of other characters such as (Droopy), not because he doesn't belong to the world of (Tom & Jerry) which I love, but simply because he is ridiculous. The episodes lack the crazy vivacity that made the glory; therefore, the adventures aren't that fervent or cinematic as the ambition was making TV episodes. So watch out for the word "teleplay" at the opening credits, it's a warning more than usual information.

It could be a little bit lower in comparison, but real good entertainment in itself, and still is a better remake or the best yet, with all the fresh colors, the loyalty to the real (Tom & Jerry), and that so lucid love for their old movies as the great cartoon.

The old Tom and Jerry was good. It was classic. This one is none of that. I get bored watching this. But the new Tom and Jerry show airing in 2019 on CN Pakistan is so better than this. I admit it's not as good as the original and there are some bad and terrible episodes I had to sit through but it gets the job done with some laughs with it's wacky adventures which is a miss in Tom and Jerry tales.

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.
