Tom & Jerry Tales The Complete
First Season is the latest version of a truly a classic animation
team. Each episode has 3 escapades along
with brand new animations. Let Tom and
Jerry, along with a supporting cast of characters entertain you with their
adventures. Depending on the situation,
sometimes Tom could be just the housecat trying to stop a thieving mouse or he
could be a villainous cat out to get poor Jerry. And Jerry as well sometimes could be just an
innocent mouse or he could be teasing Tom and getting him into trouble. Either way, whatever the goals might be, Tom
and Jerry are always together.
The antics of age old anonymity between a predator and a prey, the series plays
on their relationship/friendship/nature between cat and mouse with crazy chases
and light hearted comedies. I remember
watching the original shows and shorts when I was young and enjoyed the various
situations/places/physical impossibilities the characters were placed in. The new series has a slightly new animation
style with a clearer frame/pixels, while there is no overall plot, it is fun to
watch whatever place, time or situation the characters might be in next.
