The Tom and Jerry Show (2014)

[Donatello19]

The problem with the animation (for me) is that it lacks the feel of the characters actually getting hit/smashed/flattened etc...the cheap flash animation makes everything seem very stiff and lifeless.

I personally don't care about the animation. As long as it's funny, I'll enjoy it. That being said, if they screw this up like they did with "Tom and Jerry Tales", I'll officially give up on good ol' T&J.

There are more problems with “It’s Greek To Me Ow! then just the animation. Let’s just look at it from a writing perspective, why does Tom want to get into that building so bad? The cartoon never gives us a reason for it, is he trying to get into the building so he can get food? Does the building even have any food? Why is Tom freaking out when he sees that man In the horse carriage? Is this a man of great importance that could do harm to Tom? When Tom latter lands in the carriage, the man is mysteriously gone. Did the man get out of the carriage? If so, then why are his horses still running? At the very end, what is Tom running away from and yelling “Help” over? There’s nothing chasing him, there’s nothing to imply Tom is in any sort of danger. I'm not trying to sound smart or be rude, if anyone could please explain what is happening in that cartoon I would very much appreciate it.

Well I don't know the history of Tom and Jerry so I don't know whats considered the bad. I never thought any version was bad actually. I knew there were different ones but it didn't bother me. They all basically played out the same way imo.

As for that cartoon, its very much implied Tom wants to get into the building for food as its portrayed its where the weathly live. Jerry has a fancy doorway within the house so he might also think he can catch him from the inside.

The horesman is the mouse gaurd that comes after Jerry blows the horn. Tom doesn't wanna get trampled. I mean you see horses running toward you...you're gonna run. The mouse unpins himself along with the horses and they run off while Tom rolls out. I assume he's screaming help because Jerry blows the horn again before taking out the trash to alert the gaurds (no cats allowed sign). Though they should have shown them chasing him.

I think you should watch it again.

Huh, you're right. It's just that the proportions of him are so wrong that he looked nothing like a mouse. But if the horseman was Jerry, then why is Tom so afraid of him? Was it the horses? Why would Tom be afraid of the horses?

See, if the cartoon had better Staging, I wouldn't be so confused as to what was going on. If you like it, great. I don't for the reasons that I've stated before.

How was Tom and Jerry Tales "screwed up"?
