Tom and Jerry Play (Japanese: とむとじぇりー, romanized: Tomu to Jerī Gokko), previously known as Tom and Jerry (Japanese: とむとじぇりー, Tomu to Jerī)[Note 1] is a Japanese slapstick animated television series produced for Cartoon Network Japan, based on the Tom and Jerry cartoon shorts. It is the eighth Tom and Jerry series after Hanna-Barbera's The Tom & Jerry Show. It is also the first anime-inspired Tom and Jerry.
The series features pastel, kawaii versions of Tom and Jerry, as well as the mischievous young mouse Tuffy. Apart from their softer, pastel-like redesigns, the characters also have the ability to turn into various things like their favorite food. The tone of this series is also softer when compared to the classic shorts, especially in its apporach to slapstick comedy. Each episode is usually themed around a particular holiday and aired in their respective months.
Production
Development
Originally, the character designs were going to be used from the group Chara Chara Makiart, who created the manga Tom and Jerry 7 Colors.[1] However, this was later changed due to an incident from one of the manga's two members, who had been found guilty for sexual assault with a minor.[2]
