Tom and Jerry Time (previously titled Tom and Jerry Junior[1]) is a cancelled animated musical educational television series based on Tom and Jerry. The show would have made its debut on Cartoon Network (through their Cartoonito block) and Max from Warner Bros. Animation.

Characters

Summary

Classic Tom and Jerry hijinks – chasing, pranking, outsmarting each other – set an entertaining and hilarious backdrop while a core learning curriculum, based in education and essential readiness research, turns the world created by the biggest rivalry in all of animation into a fun and playful cartoon classroom.

Development

On June 4, 2020, Co-Creative Director of the show's visual style, Genevieve Tsai uploaded concept art of characters to social media.[2]

WarnerMedia Kids & Family announced 17 February 2021 that it was developing the show.[3]

On September 3, 2021, ten days before Cartoonito's launch, the show's name was changed from its working title to Tom and Jerry Time. The show was to premiere in 2022, but is currently delayed to 2023.

On Twitter, Warner Bros. Discovery announced on 8 September 2022 that they will also invest in animated children's programs, which would include Tom and Jerry Time among other animated shows. The future WBD platform will also invest in animated programming.

In July 2023, Will Finn confirmed on Instagram that the show was axed by the Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav.[4]

Trivia

  • This series was intended to be released after Tom and Jerry in New York concluded. However, due to the Warner Bros. Discovery merger, it was cancelled by David Zaslav.
  • This series is similar to Scooby-Doo! and the Mystery Pups, as both are preschool reboots of cartoons created by Hanna-Barbera that were cancelled by Zaslav.
