The Karate Guard (2005)
Very rushed and choppy.
Got excited when I seen there was a new Tom and Jerry. Instant disappointment within 30 seconds in. Colors are obnoxiously crisp and the pacing was rushed and choppy like a really good high school flash animation project. Spike's attacks on Tom left no lingering effects at all. I only watched the first two attacks then I zoned out for the rest as the speed and choppiness started giving me motion sickness. The first gag has Tom thrown into a garbage truck that then compacts him. In the next scene Tom has no broken bones, no splints, no crutches, not even a band aid. As he reaches through an open window and grabs Jerry. As spike appears behind Tom I thought I knew what was about to happen. I thought spike would shut the window on Tom and produce a paddle and then pick up Tom by his tail and begin spanking him until he agreed to leave Jerry alone. Instead he produces a katana and cuts Tom in half. Then we hear Tom's internal organs fall out and he collapses. Then in the next scene he was not taped together or bandaged at all. This is when I zoned out. I think the younger audience would think highly of this cartoon but for someone who grew up watching the classics it's going to be a huge letdown.
The Unshrinkable Jerry Mouse (1964)
One I remember from childhood
This is one of those cartoons that I remembered fondly from when I was a kid. I had no idea what it was called or who made it. All I could remember from back then was the last minute or so. When Tom was trying to use the board to fly into the house. And then he got stuck and jerry tied his tail up and gave him a spanking. That was the only memory I had of this particular cartoon. All the other Tom and Jerry cartoons kind of blended all together in my memory. Through the magic of DVR and having left it on the cartoon network, I seen the end of this and was able to rewind it and see the title and watch it all. Watching it as an adult I noticed the plot was kind of slow compared to the others, and the colors were very bright and clear. All in all it could have moved a little faster but it is still one of my favorites. The spinning plate gag and the picture math always made me chuckle.
