I have always been a big fan of the Tom and Jerry cartoons. My favorite is Jerry, he is so cute. I was ready to sit down and watch a few hours of Tom and Jerry hijinks.
At first, I did not realize that a majority of this DVD was mostly the updated tales of Tom and Jerry. I am excited that they are introducing Tom and Jerry to a new generation but my favorite shorts on the DVD were the older, classic ones.
A few episodes stood out as my favorites. I really enjoy the short Invasion of the Body Slammers. An alien Jerry comes to earth and creeps out Tom. This short had me laughing outloud several times. I will even admit, the alien Jerry was a bit creepy. I also really enjoyed Kangadoofus. Jerry disguises himself as a baby kangaroo in order to get away from Tom. This episode was just darling. My other favorite was a classic cartoon called Johann Mouse. Tom and Jerry actually somewhat work together on this one as a piano playing cat and a dancing mouse.
If you are looking for a fun DVD to entertain the little ones and even renew some of your own childhood memories, Tom and Jerry: Around the World is a great addition to your family’s movie collection.
