Characters Tom Cat Jerry Mouse Sushi Chef Fishes Octopus Cast William Hanna (Archive audio; Uncredited) and Andrew Dickman - Tom Cat, Jerry Mouse Keone Young - Sushi Chef Trivia This is the first show Where the show premieres before The Tom and Jerry Show (2014) ends. It is considered the first show in the United States to be shown on HBO Max instead of TV on Cartoon Network or Boomerang. Where the duration of the episodes is five or four minutes instead of seven or eleven minutes. This is the shortest Tom and Jerry show ever, lasting not even a year. The show shares the same animation style with Looney Tunes Cartoons. Both Tom and Jerry's character designs in this show are based on their appearances from the mid-1940s cartoons, in contrast to previous post-1986 Tom and Jerry shows where the cat and mouse were usually drawn based on their appearances from the late-1940s/early-1950s cartoons. This is very noticeable in Tom's character design, whom is drawn with a more rounded face and two whiskers twirled together like a moustache. On a Roll and The House that Cat Built are the only episodes to be aired before the release of Tom and Jerry (2021 film).
