Quick guide

Tom and Jerry Kids revisits the beloved chase in a child‑friendly setting. The series shows the kitten Tom and the baby mouse Jerry, still silent, outsmarting each other in a series of fast‑paced, slapstick segments. Supporting characters like Spike & Tyke, Droopy & Dripple, Slowpoke Antonio, and Calaboose Cal add variety, while each 22‑minute episode contains two seven‑minute adventures.
