Tom & Jerry Kids

Section heading
Tom and Jerry Kids is an animated television series, co-produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and Turner Entertainment, starring the Oscar-winning cat-and-mouse duo Tom and Jerry as children (kitten and mouse). The show premiered in 1990 and continued airing episodes until 1994, with the last episode airing on November 27, 1994. The series is about Tom Cat and Jerry Mouse in their childhood or Tom and Jerry's sons and their friends Droopy and Dripple and Spike and Tyke. It began airing as the first program of the Fox Broadcasting Company's children's block, Fox Kids on September 8, 1990. It aired on YTV from 1990 to 1999 in Canada.

The series is somewhat similar to the "older" version of the original theatricals, partly akin to being produced by creators Joseph Barbera and William Hanna. In terms of violence level, they are far closer to the classic cartoons than previous television adaptions such as Filmation's The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show although somewhat milder than Hanna and Barbera's original series. Part of it is similar to Pink Panther and Pals and Garfield and Friends. Droopy and Dripple went on to star in their own short-lived spin-off Droopy, Master Detective.
