From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tom & Jerry Kids is an animated television series, featuring the famous cat-and-mouse duo as children. The show premiered on March 2, 1990 and continued airing until December 22, 1995. It is one of only two Hanna-Barbera shows (alongside spin-off Droopy, Master Detective) to air in first-run on the Fox Kids lineup on Fox, the series is about the Adventures of Tom Cat and Jerry Mouse in their childhood and their friends Droopy & Dripple and Spike & Tyke, it is partially a Fox Cartoon.
The series is somewhat similar to the "older" version of the classic one-hundred and fourteen theatrical shorts. In terms of level of violence, they are less violent than their predecessor. Also, they show some tendency of using various tools or weapons in order to attack each other, rather than solely resort to simple chasing.
History
The series was a co-production of Turner Entertainment Co., which had bought the Tom and Jerry franchise in 1986 from MGM. Parent company Turner Broadcasting System would buy Hanna-Barbera in late 1990.
Perhaps the notable differences from the classic shorts are Tom and Jerry's appearances. The young Tom wore a red baseball cap on his head, and the young Jerry had a nice clump of hair on his head and sported a red bow tie (a symbol of the 1975 Hanna-Barbera Tom and Jerry cartoons). The show consists of three seven-minute shorts. The earliest (1990-1993) episodes contained two Tom and Jerry shorts, and one short that either features Droopy & Dripple or Spike & Tyke. Besides the wolf from the Droopy cartoons being featured as McWolf, other characters introduced are Calaboose Cal, Slowpoke Antonio, Kyle the Cat, Clyde the Cat, and Miss Vavoom. However, the later episodes that begun airing in 1994 had become more variant in terms of featured characters. Characters that starred in their own segments include Slowpoke Antonio, Kyle the Cat, and Wildmouse. Many times, there was only one Tom and Jerry short featured in the 1993-1994 episodes. Also, there was an episode that featured Blast-Off Buzzard and Crazylegs (in which they actually spoke here) from CB Bears.
After its cancellation by Fox Kids on December 22, 1995 (1995-12-22), it soon began airing in reruns on the Cartoon Network between 1997 and ended in 2001. Cartoon Network showed it again in 2002 through 2004. It also showed it in 2005. In April 2006 (2006-04), Tom & Jerry Kids was dropped from the Cartoon Network schedule and instead moved over to its sibling network Boomerang where it currently shows occasionally without the start and end titles.[citation needed] Cartoon Network TOO would also later remove the show from their lineup in 2009. This show was given a Daytime Emmy nomination in 1994 for Outstanding Achievement in Music Direction and Composition. It currently airs on Disney XD and Cartoon Network in Latin America.
Home Media Releases
In the mid 1990s, some of the cartoons were put on video tapes which are out of print and hard to find. As of 2009, Warner Bros. has no plans to put the series onto DVD in Region 1, though the series was released on DVD in Germany by Kinowelt Home Entertainment on July 11, 2008.[1]
