Although a live-action “Tom and Jerry” movie was released in 2021, the show “Tom and Jerry Gokko” is designed to appeal to younger audiences and expand the brand’s reach. The show’s gentle and adorable style makes it perfect for young children. Streaming the show is a smart decision since most kids nowadays watch content through streaming platforms. Given that anime is growing in popularity, particularly in 2025 which promises to be a big year for the medium, Warner Bros.’ strategy of blending anime with one of its long-standing brands can be seen as an intelligent move.

The classic cartoon duo, Tom and Jerry, centers around the mischievous cat Tom who constantly attempts to outsmart his quick-witted mouse counterpart, Jerry. Originating in the 1940s, these early episodes captured the hearts of young viewers with their humorously violent antics. Now, after decades of success, the franchise continues to thrive through various cartoons and direct-to-video films. The upcoming series, Tom and Jerry Gokko, is Warner Bros.’ latest attempt to update the series for a new generation of kids. Although it may lack the chaotic violence that initially propelled the series’ popularity, Tom and Jerry Gokko offers fans an opportunity to experience the timeless characters in a fresh, modern context, given their 80-year history.
