Tom and Jerry Tales is an American animated television series which began production in 2005, currently airing on The CW's Kids' WB block. As the title suggests, this series stars the well-known title characters from the classic Tom and Jerry shorts, and also is the first made for TV iteration of the cartoons to emulate the theatrical shorts. It grew from the direct-to-video movies, The Magic Ring (2001), Blast Off to Mars (2004) and The Fast and the Furry (2005) as well as the theatrical short The KarateGuard (2005), the first Tom & Jerry short co-directed by the characters' co-creator, Joe Barbera since the original shorts.
Barbera also served as an Executive Producer before his death, as well as receiving story credit on some short cartoons, of the "Tom and Jerry Tales" show's first season, produced by Warner Brothers in 2005. The series had its international premiere on Boomerang in the UK on February 27, 2006, and premiered in the US on Kids' WB on The CW on September 23, 2006. Each episode consists of three short cartoons with approximately the same runtime as the original theatrical shorts. Also, each of the three shows that air in a 30 minute episode have some type of theme.
