But before Tom can drink it and administer feline rough justice to the mouse, Jerry gets hold of a draught. It's an episode released on Jcalled Dr Jekyll And Mr Mouse, in which Tom, turned basement chemist, invents a potion to make himself evil and super-strong. That said, there is still one episode that I cannot bear to watch. This was the most important lesson that Tom and Jerry taught: rage rendered one impotent in a conflict. How could this be? Because Tom lost his temper, while Jerry kept his. The mouse (Jerry) triumphed over the cat (Tom). After all, Tom and Jerry have won seven Oscars, and not one of them was awarded to mark their career achievements in being nice to each other. The Cartoon Network will present the world premiere as part of its regular 24-hour Tom And Jerry New Year's Day special, which also includes 161 MGM Tom and Jerry shorts.īut this seven-minute episode has a lot to live up to. Not bad going given that both the protagonists are now 62. Called Mansion Cat, the episode will feature Barbera voicing the owner of a mansion which will be destroyed by Tom and Jerry. Let's hope it adheres to the principles of the classic 1940-1957 MGM era - to be exceptionally violent, preferably in a manner that would drive Mary Whitehouse to distraction.Ī special seven-minute episode has now been created by Joseph Barbera. The sanitised Tom and Jerry had only been made by creators William Hanna and Joseph Barbera because cartoon violence was prohibited on the network on Saturday mornings.Īll this is salutary stuff, because we stand, or even slump, at the threshold of the first new Tom and Jerry cartoon for more than 30 years. But then there are always websites devoted to the indefensible. That said, there is a website devoted to the proposition that this was Tom and Jerry's best series, that the slapstick animation reached its peak here.
