The show was created by Hanna-Barbera, and the show's production company was Warner Brothers Animation. Generations of people around the world have enjoyed watching Tom the cat and Jerry the mouse engage in elaborate games of hide and seek, and this show usually shows three cartoon shorts, most of which are fairly new. Tom and Jerry Tales is similar to the original Tom and Jerry cartoons, but the writing in many episodes is updated with more contemporary topics. The action is always fast-paced in the cartoons on the Tom and Jerry Tales show. The cat and mouse team regularly find themselves in an array of locales, and they're always at odds with each other, with chase scenes galore. Even though Tom and Jerry are often fighting with each other, they actually really do like each other. When the cat and mouse are chasing each other around indoors on Tom and Jerry Tales, they make the most out of every household object, and some of their schemes are quite clever.
