Tom and Jerry in New York

It's definitely different. While it has a similar vibe due to it being in the style of The Tom and Jerry Show (2014~2021). I'm not sure which I liked more. The duo/trio felt more human in the Show, while in NY, they're less like people. Tom's definitely more heartless and Jerry is more of a nuisance, while Spike is only an occasional appearance. Perhaps with that, I would say I prefer the Show over NY. Plus, the humans had more personality than just being set pieces.

Visually, NY is the same, due to it being the same team as the Show. It's still colorful, and still full of all sorts of antics.

When it comes down to sound and music, it's classy, very "New York". Characters don't always speak, which really shows a difference a bit of dialogue can add. Voice contains life and personality.

I mean, yeah, it makes sense Tom would ignore a drowing bird, but if he's the one who caused it, there's not much reason for him to ignore it. The best shorts are when they have some sort of a truce, or there's a win-win of some sort. After all, it's "and", not "versus".

It just feels like there's something missing. Even so, NY is an enjoyable enough set of Tom & Jerry stories. It's just jarring after having watched roughly three seasons of the Show, not knowing 2 more seasons had been produced until just now. Though I do wonder about the future of Tom & Jerry now that HBO has been doing it's animation removal and it's great purge. Hopefully this series will still be available somewhere once it inevitably disappears.
