They're back on TV with their first animated series in 30 years -- and their chase capers are as nutty and neverending as ever. With Tom and Jerry Tales Vol. 1, you can enjoy their most most catfighting, roughmousing new adventures over and over again on DVD! Through 12 cartoon capers full of fur-flying, fun-packing chases and calamities, Tom and Jerry are still ever-determined to beat each other to the punch...no matter what it takes!

The best modern interpretation of Golden Age cartoons (2008-03-23)
Customer Review : 4
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.
good cartoon but false picture (2008-02-24)

I want to begin by saying the video itself is very good! My son loves it and watches it often. However, as a consumer I was disappointed because when I purchased it I was under the assumption that it would have at least one cartoon on it related to the picture displayed on your website. The cover is shown with zoo animals. The dvd I received says volume one but has a completely different cover on it and no cartoons related to zoo animals. I think this should be looked into and corrected. I would not have purchased this particular dvd if I had known it would be different than what is displayed on the amazon website. This borders on false advertisement!!!
A bit different than the original version (2008-02-05)
Customer Review : 4
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...

Tom and Jerry Tales, Vol. 1 (2007-05-20)
Customer Review : 5
I'm in the 1960s generation. So I love the original Tom and Jerry. My kids of course have never seen the original version. But in spite of some new editing, adding, altering, the story stays pretty much the same and the beauty and fun is still there. I can hear the laugh and giggle all the way through the movie.
