Plot

Tom Jerry Cat Mouse when arrested in the episode "High Steaks”

The story line in every short story is usually centered on the efforts it was impossible to catch Jerry Tom, accompanied by various physical conflict and material damage. They sometimes looks can live peacefully side by side in several episodes (at least in the first few minutes), so sometimes it is not clear why Tom was so eager to chase Jerry. Several reasons may be the lasting enmity of cat and mouse, the task given by the owner of the house, revenge, and competition against other cats.

Tom catch Jerry rarely successful, primarily due to versatility and agility Jerry and Tom's own stupidity. Tom usually beat Jerry when the rat became the cause of the problem or when Jerry was acting too much.

They are well-known short story by the most sadistic joke that is never presented in animation: Jerry Tom's body cut into half, Jerry Tom put a tail on the window, pinning Jerry Tom's head with a window or door, Jerry dropped a variety of heavy objects ranging from iron, iron mace , closing the oven, glasses, plates, glasses, and other furniture into Tom's head. Tom using everything from axes, pistols, bombs of dynamite and poisons to be an attempt to kill Jerry, Jerry Tom tails grilling into a toaster, put the cat's tail into the hole power, hitting his face with a baseball bat, and others. However, besides all this sadistic act, no blood or the terrible things that appear in their stories. The joke is often repeated in this sadistic act is when Jerry beat Tom when the cat was doing something. Tom initially oblivious to the pain --- but then feel it later!

The series is also famous for its dependence on various cliches, such as the body becomes black character caused an explosion and the use of shadow images of an enlarged (as in the episode "Dr.. Jekyll and Mr.. Mouse.") Resemblance to objects and real events could be the main attraction of this cartoon series of visual humor. Characters Tom and Jerry changed into ordinary forms of unreasonable but very related to the events (mostly in a forced situation due to being beaten or otherwise) in the image of a closed but it's quite horrible in the real world.

Music plays a very important role in each episode, giving emphasis on actions of characters, filling the voice sound effects, and bringing emotion into the story. Composer Scott Bradley created complex piece of music that combines jazz, classical and pop for this series. He often uses contemporary pop songs and songs from MGM films such as "The Wizard of Oz" and "Meet Me In St.. Louis."
