So, which of these has been your favourite? The ones where Jerry is shown as the victorious one or where the cat and mouse become friends before the final fade out? Personally, these are my three most favourite Tom & Jerry cartoons.
1. The Million Dollar Cat; the best part was to see Jerry become the tormentor and torment Tom who kept holding back from attacking when he found that his new-found riches would be taken away from him if ever he became violent and harmed anyone.
2. Just Ducky; especially for the introduction of a cute minor character, Quaker the duck.
3. Baby Puss; for the part where Butch and his friends sing “Mama’e eu quero”.
Although these and most others have remained ever-popular irrespective of age, region or religion, often they have also been criticized.
As a mother, do you think that the sexual innuendos (like where Jerry makes a parachute out of a bra), the depiction of smoking (the cartoon where Tom imagines smoking a Cuban cigar after Jerry’s death) or the constant violence (Tom hitting a dog with a brick or Jerry putting toothpaste into Tom’s eyes) makes viewing this cartoon series imperfect for your little ones?
Or would you let them watch it and then discuss when a competition becomes unhealthy, how one should not make fun of others and how violence in real life is not alright?
Do share your thoughts.
