Perhaps the notable differences from the classic shorts are Tom and Jerry's appearances. The young Tom wore a red baseball cap on his head, and the young Jerry had a nice clump of hair on his head and sported a red bow tie (a symbol of [[The Tom and Jerry Show (1975)|the 1975 Hanna-Barbera Tom and Jerry cartoons]]). The show consists of three seven-minute shorts. The earliest (1990-1991) episodes contained two Tom and Jerry shorts, and one short that either features Droopy or Spike.

Besides the wolf from the Droopy cartoons being featured as McWolf, other characters featured introduced are Calaboose Cal, Slowpoke Antonio, Kyle the Cat, Clyde the Cat, and Miss Vavoom.


However, the later episodes that begun airing in 1992 had become more variant in terms of featured characters. Characters that starred in their own segments include Slowpoke Antonio, Kyle the Cat, and Wildmouse. Many times, there was only one Tom and Jerry short featured in the 1992-1993 episodes. Also, there was an episode that featured Blast-Off Buzzard and Crazylegs (in which they actually spoke here) from ''[[CB Bears]]''.

Tom & Jerry Kids is an animated television series, featuring the popular cat-and-mouse duo as kids. The show premeried on FOX on September 8, 1990 and continued airing until October 2, 1993. It is one of only two Hanna-Barbera shows (alongside spin-off Droopy, Master Detective) to air in first-run on FOX.

The series is somewhat similar to the "older" version of the 114 theatrical shorts. In terms of level of violence, they are less violent than their predecessor. Also, they show some tendency of using various tools or weapons in order to attack each other, rather than solely resort to simple chasing. As usual, the feisty feline Tom constantly tries to catch the lovable mouse Jerry, often causing lots of mishaps for the duo.

History

Perhaps the notable differences from the classic shorts are Tom and Jerry's appearances. The young Tom wore a red baseball cap on his head, and the young Jerry had a nice clump of hair on his head and sported a red bow tie (a symbol of the 1975 Hanna-Barbera Tom and Jerry cartoons). The show consists of three seven-minute shorts. The earliest (1990-1991) episodes contained two Tom and Jerry shorts, and one short that either features Droopy & Dripple or Spike & Tyke. Besides the wolf from the Droopy cartoons being featured as McWolf, other characters featured introduced are Calaboose Cal, Slowpoke Antonio, Kyle the Cat, Clyde the Cat, and Miss Vavoom.

However, the later episodes that begun airing in 1992 had become more variant in terms of featured characters. Characters that starred in their own segments include Slowpoke Antonio, Kyle the Cat, and Wildmouse. Many times, there was only one Tom and Jerry short featured in the 1992-1993 episodes. Also, there was an episode that featured Blast-Off Buzzard and Crazylegs (in which they actually spoke here) from CB Bears.

After its cancellation by FOX on October 2, 1993 it soon began airing in reruns on the Cartoon Network between 1995 and ended in 1999. Cartoon Network showed it again in 2000 through 2002. It also showed it in 2005. In April 2006, Tom & Jerry Kids was dropped from Cartoon Network but instead on its sister networks Boomerang but now removed and Cartoon Network TOO has removed the show in 2009.

Home video

In the mid 1990s, some of the cartoons were put on video tapes which are out of print and hard to find. As of 2009, Warner Bros. has no plans to put the series onto DVD.[citation needed]
