  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Tom and Jerry Kids was one of the countless TV revivals of the classic Tom and Jerry shorts.

Airing from 1990 to 1994 on Fox Kids, this new series of shorts was much closer to the tried and true formula of the famous cat and mouse duo than, say, their earlier series, but still had watered-down violence. Also, there were shorts starring Tex Avery's Droopy character and classic Tom and Jerry co-stars Spike and Tyke. Additionally, different, original characters were brought into the show, such as Slowpoke Antonio and Bernie the Swallow, and even got their own separate segments..

Tropes found in Tom and Jerry Kids include:

  • Chaste Toons: Confusingly averted; Droopy now has a son (named Dripple), yet still goes after attractive ladies.
  • Chick Magnet: Droopy; even his son describes him as a "Babe Magnet". In fact he always manages to conquer the beautiful Miss Vavoom on her various incarnations, even at first sight, getting usually kisses that give him explosive reactions.
  • Don't Try This At Home: Spoken several times, usually by a human character, just before Tom was about to do something dangerous. One of them involved him splitting in two, and going around a tree from both sides.
  • Dreadful Musician: Slowpoke Antonio, to the point where he once literally destroyed the sunset with his bad singing at the end of one of his cartoons.
  • Painted Tunnel, Real Train: Spoofed in a Droopy short with a car race, where the villain McWolf takes advantage of Artistic Expression, by having Droopy drive into a sign and shoving said sign off a cliff (the wolf earlier crashed into a painted tunnel).
  • Picnic Episode: One Spike and Tyke outing has them try to have a picnic, but they get attacked by army ants that are trying to steal their food.
  • Recycled in Space: Several of the shorts, Tom and Jerry or otherwise, had the stage set in a wide variety of settings, such as space, the jungle, even ancient Egypt.
  • Spinoff Babies
  • Suddenly Voiced: Tyke, courtesy of Patrick Zimmerman.
  • Title Theme Tune
  • Wild Take: Happens from time to time, especially in the Droopy shorts.
