Advantages: Entertaining
Disadvantages: Sometimes dangerous for very young childeren's manners

...I knew Tom & Jerry more than 15 or 20 years ago! These two creatures visited me regularly on my television. Now it comes again to visit my Son. My son is a loyal audience. I sometimes enjoy watching the cartoon-films, too. I am sure that not only my son and I love these films from Walt Disney. I have ever heard an issue that once most Americans were so impressed by Jerry that they were not willing to kill rats or mice. Okay, this one is only an issue and not an important point here to figure out. I am not sure the truth of the issue, either. Characters The main film stars in Tom & Jerry are a rat (mouse) and a cat. The cat is called Tom and the rat is called Jerry. Both successful stars never die from time to time. They are fighting and fighting, and Jerry is always the only winner most of the episodes. Why...

Advantages: Great Entertainment
Disadvantages: May give kids ideas

...All the chases ever created put together cannot even begin to compete with this all time great product created by Hannah Barbera. The characters are a brainchild of an absolute god and id give anything to just shake his hand and tell him what a spectacle he’s created. Tom the greedy, gluttonous, jealous but sometimes adorable cat continuously chases Jerry, a clever, big hearted, doll of a mouse. The chases are fast paced and the bams and whams are very witty and sweet indeed. Its not just the chases its how they’re done and countered, over the whole episode as well as momentary counters. I love the few cartoons in which Tom and Jerry team up to oust another cat from the house or Jerry helps Tom get back in the house because he gets too bored without him. I also love the idea of Tom stopping when Jerry shows him the hand because... Read review

Advantages: Loads of fun watching this DVD
Disadvantages: no disadvantages

...I think among all the cartoon series that have ever been made Tom and Jerry is the most loved and most successful. I love the never ending Chase and the comedy in these serials.However much he tries,Tom is never able to catch Jerry, who is too clever and cunning .And the situations are so very comical. Some of these cartoons are nearly sixty years old , the first ones were made in the 1940's . They were created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and made in MGM studios in the Hollywood, then it has been made over and over again right until now.A feature film was made in 1993, which was a super duper success. Today it is being made by the Warner Brothers who own the rights to Tom and jerry. ------------------------------------------------------------- ---- ------------------ Tom And Jerry - Vol. 1-12 (Box Set...

Advantages: children love watching it
Disadvantages: most episodes have violence in them

...With my cousin staying for the holidays at our house, I have watched quite a few episodes of this cartoon, and still it remains a favourite, the antics of Tom and Jerry are long lasting. It actually surprises me how long they have been going. Tom and Jerry try to out wit each other, it’s usually Tom the cat trying to catch Jerry the mouse. They do all sorts to each other, they hit each other with pans, put obstacles in the way that try to catch the other out. My cousin is intrigued at how nothing serious happens to Tom and Jerry, especially after they have taken a good beating of the other. I suppose you need to explain to a child it’s not real, and when they hit each other so hard, it’s only acting. I suppose thinking of it, it is quite violent, and many might say not suitable for children. I don’t... Read review

Advantages: Easy and quick to make, look cute, cheap
Disadvantages: Didn't like the taste, not enough mixture to make 12

...I was going to stay at my friends flat for the weekend so I decided I would make her a little something to say thank you. Now I am usually all for home baking, and I was going to make her cup cakes from scratch, but when I was in Morrisons I saw this really cute baking set to make Tom and Jerry strawberry flavoured cup cakes and I thought I would make these instead since the picture on the packet looked really cute. The cake mix is from the company 'Green's'. The cake mix set comes in a green box with a large picture of Tom and Jerry on the front of it, with Jerry throwing one of the strawberry cup cakes at Tom. On the front it states that the pack makes 12 cakes. On the back of the pack it has the recipe set out clearly with pictures so that it is easy to follow, and easier for children to help make it too, since the pictures... Read review

Advantages: Great fun, easy to grasp the idea, has my son hooked
Disadvantages: Takes alot of practice to get going, cartoon violence

...My sister gave this PC CD-ROM to my seven year old son over the Easter break. Despite initial struggles and frustration, he is now hooked. +++++++++ OVERVIEW +++++++++ The game is marketed and produced by Focus Multimedia Limited and the copywrite was issued in 2002. The advice is that it is suitable for over 3's but unless your toddler has the coordinated fingers of a mini Motzart I would say that this would be very difficult for anyone under the age of 6 and even then, they would need a lot of patience and perseverance to master the button pressing skills required. The insructions are simple to follow and if you,ve ever seen a boxing match, I really don't think there will be any difficulty grasping the concept of the game! ++++++++++++++ AIM OF THE GAME ++++++++++++++ This game is the 'ultimate Tom and Jerry...
