Tom & Jerry Kids is an animated television series, featuring the famous cat-and-mouse stars as children (kitten and baby mouse). The show premiered in 1990 and continued airing until 1994. The series is about the adventures of Tom Cat and Jerry Mouse in their childhood and their friends Droopy and Dripple and Spike and Tyke.

The series is somewhat similar to the "older" version of the original 114 theatricals, partly akin to being produced by Tom and Jerry creators William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. In terms of violence level, they are far closer to the classic cartoons than previous television adaptions such as The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show although somewhat milder than Hanna and Barbera's original series.

History

The series was a co-production of Turner Entertainment, which had bought the Tom and Jerry franchise in 1986 from MGM. Parent company Turner Broadcasting System would buy Hanna-Barbera in late 1991. Perhaps the most notable differences from the classic shorts are Tom and Jerry's appearances (and ages).

The young Tom wore a red baseball cap with a blue stripe on his head, and the young Jerry had a spiky 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 1993 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.

Cartoon Network airings

In 1994, Fox canceled the series, it soon began airing in reruns on the Cartoon Network channel (which Turner launched to showcase its large animation library, including Tom and Jerry) between 1995 and ended in 1999. Cartoon Network showed it again in 2000 through 2002.

In 2006, the show was removed 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 removed the show from their lineup in 2009.

Awards

This show was given a Daytime Emmy nomination in 1994 for Outstanding Achievement in Music Direction and Composition.

Home media releases

In 1991, 12 episodes were put on two VHS cassettes in the United States, although only a few million copies were made and the two cassettes are hard to find. Eleven VHS cassettes were released in the United Kingdom. However, Warner Home Video has no plans to put the series onto a season set DVD and/or Blu-ray in Region 1, though the series was released on DVD in Germany by Kinowelt Home Entertainment on July 11, 2008.[1] In 2010, the episode Flippin' Fido was included in the Deluxe Anniversary Collection DVD set.
