Something about Tom and Jerry always bothered me as a kid. I grew up around a lot of animals and I was keenly aware of the fact that Tom should be eating Jerry no matter how "smart" Jerry might be. Mind you with that said I've seen an awful lot of lazy fat cats in the last decade that certainly would not challenge Jerry's wit and fast pace. Heh.. but this again comes from the girl who preferred to take naps in the barn vs sleep in her bed. Yes I can honestly say "yes" to that whole "Were you raised in a barn?" as I did indeed spend most of my childhood on the back of a horse.
As I've gotten older Tom and Jerry represents something more to me, it seems as we have entered this decade that kid's freedoms are slowly vanishing. Not that I am that old, but when I was little I left the house after I got home from school and usually did not return until close to dark or until the first fireflys could be seen. It was not uncommon for me to be on the other side of our neighborhood or once I got horses even up to a mile away from home at any given time. I never had a cell phone, I didn't check in, I just enjoyed myself, the outdoors, and the other kids available to me. I was home when I said I would be, and I never worried about a stranger. Well now every TV show you watch it seems kids are getting abducted or worse and so many cartoons feature animated "battles". What ever happened to good ole Tom and Jerry?
Well don't panic Tom and Jerry is still out there and Tom and Jerry Tales brings Tom and Jerry into present day. Animated in the same style as the originals but with an updated theme that today's kids can relate to. Honestly If I hadn't known they were new I would have done a double take as they are just how I remember them.
Take a look for yourself. This is from the second volume.

I adore Tom & Jerry. My husband adores Tom & Jerry. My daughter Tom & Jerry. My dad even adores Tom & Jerry. The beauty of it is how timeless and universal it is.

What I like most about Tom and Jerry is the fact that my five year old likes to watch them.

i watch tom and jerry whenever i can. i like the older episods of them. my favorite thing about tom and jerry is jerry's uncle the one that sings and plays the banjo that keeps losing its strings so he takes tom's whiskers. his voice is the best.

What i like is that the same slapstick comedy of Tom and Jerry is timeless. I loved them as a kid and my kids now think they are hilarious. My mom says she has always loved watching Tom and Jerry too. Alot better than all the "violent" cartoons they have out now.

My kids' laughter
What I like most about tom and jerry is that it reminds me of simpler time. The animation isnt great compared to todays standards and there isn't a lot of voice acting in them but thats what makes them special. I have my children watching them now. They were resistant at first but now love them.
I like Jerry best. He's so cute and has a sarcastic wit.

We're HUGE fans of Tom and Jerry here! My son cracks up while wathing them and I love it because it's a cartoon we can BOTH enjoy!
I always loved watching Tom and Jerry when I was a kid. I liked how the innocent little mouse always outsmarted the bigger cat. I would love to watch this with my kids.
Its just the ultimate cat and mouse cartoon...Thanks.
it's cute and classic!
I have always loved Tom and Jerry. Some of the pranks Jerry plays on Tom .
They're just so entertaining! I love seeing all the pranks they pull on each other. This show makes me laugh out loud and always has.
I love Tom and Jerry. I used to watch it every day after school, and I still watch it whenever I see it on. I love their expressions, and its one of the few cartoons I laugh out loud while watching.
Gotta love the famous cat and mouse!
I love that they antagonize each other, but also will work together to accomplish a common goal. It's a fun show!
It's funny that my son loves a cartoon I used to watch when I was a little girl
Tom and Jerry is one of the timeless cartoons that is as popular today with my children as it was when we were young.
One of the most epic cartoons to date :)
My children loved Tom and Jerry and my granddaughter does as well.
It's a classic. I really like Jerry he's such a cute mouse.
mammalnut2000@yahoo.com
I love most all the memories it brings back of watching them with my siblings on Saturday morning. So funny.
It's funny how shows like Tom and Jerry and Scooby-Doo are big hits today, like they were when I was young. My son loves Tom and Jerry. I love how clever Jerry can be.
I love that Jerry is always tormenting Tom. It is painful to watch sometimes!
I love that Jerry ultimately always gets one up on Tom:)

My two sons enjoy watching the "Tom and Jerry" cartoons when they were younger that in the original that I knew! Like you, I lived in a neighborhood where we could be outside until midnight and not worry about too much! Actually, I think Tom and Jerry have a mutual respect for one another. Cindi

i used to watch this all the time when i was a kid and i always loved how much smarter jerry was than tom ;)
En Guarde Senior Pussycat!
Hilarious!
I love how they don't feel obligated to be politically correct. They have fun, get over-excited, and run rampant all over everything without feeling that they must stop to impart some great moral truth every five minutes. Sometimes, heaven forbid, cartoons are just meant to be entertaining and a form of escapism.

No matter how old you are,they're still funny.
I have been cracking up over T&J since i was a kid. I am now 52. I can now share it with my grandkids and crack them up also.
poppy55@bellsouth.net
I love how they play the same Tom & Jerry cartoons today that I watched as a kid-my kids know my favorites and we watch them anytime they are on tv. If I won the dvd, I would put it in my drawer for rainy or sick days.
I love their love/hate relationship.
I love everything about the show. I grew up watching them and now my kids are.
erma.hurtt@sbcglobal.net
It's good, wholesome entertainment
Jerry always gets the last laugh
Tom and Jerry are two classic cartoon characters that a majority of adults can say they grew up watching.
Well, they don't like each other as Tina Fey says in "Baby Mama".
theyyyguy@yahoo.com
The interaction between the two is classic and will stand the test of time
Tom and Jerry is just the most classic cartoon. My kids love it as much as I did as a kid. It's just timeless. Hope to win.
