It is notable for being the first and only Tom & Jerry short made especially for Boomerang. Even though it does attempt to recapture the format of the original cartoon theatricals, fans have criticized this outing for dumbing down the Tom and Jerry series to simply robotic violence and fighting, whereas the famous classic shorts always had a story as a trigger for the duo's rivalry, and generally characterized them in a much much more nuanced way.

abstract
| - It is notable for being the first and only Tom & Jerry short made especially for Boomerang. Even though it does attempt to recapture the format of the original cartoon theatricals, fans have criticized this outing for dumbing down the Tom and Jerry series to simply robotic violence and fighting, whereas the famous classic shorts always had a story as a trigger for the duo's rivalry, and generally characterized them in a much much more nuanced way. Joseph Barbera provided the voice of Tom's owner for this production. The buckle on his shoes are a clue to his being there because they are his initials. This was one of the last cartoons produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions before its absorption into Warner Bros. Animation later in 2001. Thirteen months after it premiered on Boomerang, the seven-minute short re-premiered on Kids' WB! on May 25, 2002 at 9:30 a.m. followed by the premiere of The Powerpuff Girls. Tom and Jerry's character designs in this made-for TV short are based on their designs of the 1975 series, although during that period of time their late-1940s & early-1950s designs are more commonly used. The short has not yet been released on any home media.
