Line 2: [[File:tom_and_jerry_tales1_2487.png\|frame]] ''Tom and Jerry Tales'' was a modern [[Revival]] of the ''[[~~Tom and Jerry (Animation)\|~~Tom and Jerry]]'' franchise which began production in 2005 and ran in the United States from [[The Millennium Age of Animation\|September 23, 2006 to March 22, 2008]] on [[Kids WB]] It is the fourth television show in the ''Tom & Jerry'' franchise and probably the most well-received. Episodes used a [[Three Shorts]] format, mirroring the length and format of the original theatrical shorts. Secondary characters from the original series returned, many for the first time since the 1950s. [[Droopy]] even starred in a few shorts alongside Tom and Jerry. It may have lacked some of the madcap [[Slapstick]] violence of the original shorts, and towards the end relied too heavily on [[Recycled in Space~~\|Recycled IN SPACE~~]]-styled plots, but it tends to be viewed as better in comparison to past ''Tom & Jerry'' adaptations, as well as other cartoons on at the time. The [[Direct to Video]] ''[[~~Tom and Jerry (Animation)\|~~Tom and Jerry]]'' movies made since the series ended are somewhat of a [[Spiritual Successor]], having the same animation and writing style. It is currently being re-run on [[Cartoon Network]]. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} ~~=== Tropes invoked by this series: ===~~ * [[Amusing Injuries]]: It wouldn't be ''Tom & Jerry'' otherwise. * [[Antagonist in Mourning]]: Tom in "Bats What I Like About the South" creates a tombstone of Jerry and crying for him, not aware that Jerry is alive and scaring him with a bat who looks like him. Line 15: * [[Badly-Battered Babysitter]]: In "Babysitting Blues" both Tom and Jerry babysit their respective nephews. * [[Beach Episode]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N55Euk-zOqg Beach Bully Bingo.] * [[The Cameo]]: Wolfie, from Tex Avery's ''[[Red Hot Riding Hood]]'' and numerous Droopy shorts, appears as a ghost in "Spook House Mouse". [[Everything's Worse ~~With~~with Bears\|Joe Bear]], an [[No Indoor Voice\|extremely loud bear]] who hates noise from Tex Avery's ''Rock-a-bye Bear'', makes a cameo in the episode "Sasquashed". * [[Construction Zone Calamity]]: "Deconstruction Junction" and "Jackhammered Cat". * [[Continuity Nod]]: At the end of "Babysitting Blues" Tom and Jerry both leave (after not wanting to watch their sisters kids any longer) to go fishing. Guess what they're doing in "Catfish Follies?" Line 22: * [[The Faceless]]: Mrs. Two-Shoes and most other human characters in the series. * [[Humanoid Female Animal]]: Tom's taste in cat-women hasn't changed. * [[Mime -and -Music -Only Cartoon]]: Most episodes. * [[Minor Injury Overreaction]]: When a tennis ball harmlessly bounces off of Tyke's nose in "Game, Set, Match" Spike proceeds to beat on Tom for being "Too rough" with him. * [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: "Beefcake Tom" has Jerry successfully making Tom strong. What does he get next? Tom uses him for a dumbbell. Line 29: * [[Race Lift]]: Mammy Two-Shoes was brought back for the series, only she was recolored white and had a voice that sounded like a Southern accent (much like the actual Mammy Two Shoes, only her grammar isn't broken). Mammy was a controversial character because she portrayed [[Uncle Tomfoolery\|several black stereotypes]] that were widespread in the 1940s, so the decision to make her white was to make the modern-day shorts politically correct. * [[Recycled in Space]]: The duo is in the Middle Ages, prehistoric times, the US Revolutionary War...and even, indeed, IN SPACE!! * [[Robosexual]]: In "Hi Robot!", Tom builds a mouse [[FemBot]] in order to trick Jerry into falling in love with it (which he does), but in the end the robot develops emotions and falls in love with Jerry, giving Tom a [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown]] for wanting to hurt Jerry. * [[Screwed Byby the Network]]: It was lucky to even last as long as it did after [[~~Four Kids~~4Kids! Entertainment\|4Kids]] took over [[Kids WB]]. * [[Shout -Out]]: To a lot of [[Tex Avery]] shorts; in "A Life Less Guarded", the man auditioning Tom and Droopy for a lifeguard job is a caricature of Avery, and one of the few human characters whose face is fully visible in the series. His assistant [[Ms. Fanservice\|Miss Shapely]] is a comely blonde, referring to Avery's penchant for gorgeous women in his pictures. * [[Tagalong Kid]]: Nibbles in a few shorts. * [[Three Shorts]] Line 38: {{reflist}} [[Category:Western Animation]] [[Category:Tom ~~And~~and Jerry Tales]] [[Category:Saturday Morning Cartoon]]
