This time, rather than hand drawn animation, we\u2019re forced to endure flash animation, and that\u2019s what holds down an otherwise fun series. What\u2019s the point of flash animation for a tried and true comedy duo? I don\u2019t understand it.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The series is completely flash animated, but at least compensates by featuring a lot of the physical stunts the cartoons are so famous for. There\u2019s also a lot of sound effects from the original shorts including Tom\u2019s yell, and Jerry thankfully doesn\u2019t speak a word. The series is mostly based around self contained shorts with a thin narrative and form of continuity, and the adventures are almost always based around magic or fantasy. Tom lives with a group of witches in a house filled with magical trinkets, and he has to put up with the vicious Spike and his son Tyke. Not to mention the rambunctious mouse Jerry.<\/p>\n<p>In the first few episodes, Tom is tricked by a magical talking mirror to capture Jerry, he also comes across Santa Claus who he turns in to a cookie mistakenly with his owners\u2019 magic wand. There\u2019s are also traditional episodes, including Tom\u2019s battle to become top cat of the alley when the former retires. There\u2019s also his competition with other cat Butch for the affection of a female cat. \u201cThe Tom and Jerry Show\u201d isn\u2019t laugh out loud hysterical, but it\u2019s faithful enough to the original shorts to where it\u2019s entertaining and light enough to escape in to. It should also act as a fun launch pad for the kids to go from this to the original shorts, which are incomparable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There will never be anyone who can top the original Tom and Jerry shorts, but I\u2019m surprised that \u201cThe Tom and Jerry Show\u201d comes shockingly close to the original successful formula.
