Tom and Jerry Tales facts for kids
Tom and Jerry Tales is an animated TV show that started in 2005. It was shown on a TV block called Kids WB on The CW channel. This series features the famous characters Tom and Jerry, who are known from many classic cartoons. It was the first TV cartoon to look and feel like the old Tom and Jerry movies shown in theaters. The idea for this show came from several direct-to-video movies like The Magic Ring (2001), Blast Off to Mars, The Fast and the Furry (2005), Shiver Me Whiskers (2006), and A Nutcracker Tale (2007).
About Tom and Jerry Tales
Tom and Jerry Tales brings back the classic chase and comedy style of the original Tom and Jerry cartoons. Each episode usually has two or three short stories. These stories show the never-ending rivalry between Tom the cat and Jerry the mouse.
What Makes It Special
This TV show was important because it tried to copy the look and humor of the very first Tom and Jerry cartoons. These older cartoons were made for movie theaters. The show used traditional animation, which means it was drawn by hand, just like the classic shorts. This helped it feel familiar to fans of the original cartoons.
How the Show Started
Before Tom and Jerry Tales came out, there were a few direct-to-video movies. These movies were released straight to DVD or VHS, not in cinemas. They helped keep the characters popular. The success of these movies showed that people still loved Tom and Jerry. This led to the creation of Tom and Jerry Tales for television.
