Movie Review: Tom and Jerry Tales, Vol. 1
Summary: 5 Stars
My grandson (3-1/2) watches this video over and over and over again, laughing out loud each time.Movie Review: The best modern interpretation of Golden Age cartoons
Summary: 4 Stars
There's plenty of reviews here happily reporting "my kids/grandkids love these." So here's an opinion from an adult who grew up on the classic Tom & Jerry shorts of the 1940's and 50's. I was really concerned that these new cartoons would bear no resemblance to the older ones. After all, modern-day incarnations of Looney Tunes, Scooby Doo, Popeye, and many others are hard for us classic animation fans to watch. But I'm happy to report that Tom & Jerry Tales actually retains the spirit of the original Hannah-Barbera shorts. Sure, the animation has a slightly more contemporary look, with regard to shading of the characters. But it's not nearly as grating as the three-dimensional effects most hand-drawn animation goes for these days. Most importantly, the action and sense of fun are still there. I wasn't surprised to find the violence toned down a bit (unlike the original theatrical shorts, these cartoons ARE aimed at children), but poor ol' Tom still gets pounded with regularity.
We adults who still enjoy cartoons are fortunate that so many Golden Age shorts are now available. But if you're itching to try something new that honors the cartoons you grew up with, give this one a try. I know I'll be buying the rest of the volumes in this series. No, they'll never replace the Tom & Jerry of the Good Ol' Days. . .but these well-made cartoons are the closest we'll ever come to seeing animation like that again.
Movie Review: A bit different than the original version
Summary: 4 Stars
My review is from only seeing the first cartoon Ho Ho Horrors. I haven't played the full disc yet and will soon as I really love T&J. For somebody that grew up with the original version this is a bit different from what I expected but still good. All the fun is still there although it seems they took the mild violence out and made the cartoons more PC for young kids of today. For example in the first cartoon they brought back Mammy Two Shoes as a white woman (instead of black) & call her Mrs Two Shoes. That was a bit of a shock but understandable for todays generation. I'll agree with the other reviwers that young kids (and older cartoon loving folks like me) will like this new version of T&J. It's good...Movie Review: They love it
Summary: 4 Stars
I have my grandchildren every other week for a Movie Night. They ALWAYS choose Tom & Jerry. I don't know why, but children ages 3-7 love Tom & Jerry. They will watch it over and over and laugh out loud every single time. It's not educational by any means, but at it's not scary or gory.. so for an occaisional fun movie for them, it's a winner.Movie Review: dissapointed

I am a 69 year old grandfather who is now introducing my 3 yr. old grandaughter to the cartoons I grew up with. I must say that my recent purchase of " tom & Jerry tales" leaves much to be desired. I can't put my finger on it, but there is something very lacking in the newer version of the cartoons as compared to the older ones. However having said that, She and I laugh our socks off watching the antics of those two adorable rascals. But i prefer the older versions better
