Tom and Jerry-Tales Vo4

"...the slapstick lunacy of the vintage shorts but adds a modern gloss and friendliness...  David Cornelius, DVD Talk
"...plenty of energy, crisp character animation, and surprisingly detailed background art.  John J. Puccio, DVD Town

Editor's Note The cat-and-mouse struggle continues! TOM AND JERRY are brought up to date with this early-21st-century rendering of the classic cartoons. Despite the modern setting, the 12 episodes included here find the usual mayhem breaking out between the dueling twosome. The addition of superpowers in three episodes provides an added twist to this animated collection.

The classic Tom and Jerry cartoons were loaded with violence, the occasional embarrassing stereotype, and a whole lot of laughs. The 1970s Tom and Jerry television revival was pleasant, clean, and unbearably dull. Tom and Jerry Tales, recently created as part of the fall TV season for the revamped Kids WB! network, splits the difference; it maintains the slapstick lunacy of the vintage shorts but adds a modern gloss and friendliness that strips it of much of its giddy wickedness...For the record, my daughter, age six, enjoyed the show, but not with the same sort of glee with which she meets the classic cartoons. We both found this new version of Tom and Jerry to be cute, entertaining at times, but slightly missing that certain kick that gave the duo their flair...There's enough comedy here for a quick once-over, and younger kids are bound to ask for the occasional repeat viewing. - David Cornelius
