The very first localized Tom and Jerry series, featuring the beloved cartoon cat and mouse, will make its debut in Singapore. You can catch this series on Cartoon Network, the Cartoon Network Asia YouTube channel, and HBO GO starting from Saturday, October 21.
In this seven-part series, the iconic cartoon frenemies venture into the Lion City, navigating through a tapestry of vibrant neighborhoods, modern skyscrapers, and the lush natural beauty of the city. New episodes will be airing every Saturday on Cartoon Network and YouTube, with four episodes available immediately on HBO GO, followed by the release of a second batch in November.
Christopher Ho, Head of Kids – Southeast Asia, Warner Bros. Discovery, mentioned, “It was important for us to craft narratives and settings that authentically capture the essence of ‘Singapore,’ all the while paying homage to the unique animation style and humor that have endeared Tom and Jerry to generations. Watch their antics as they savor local delicacies like durian and ice kachang and encounter Merli, a character inspired by Singapore’s mythical Merlion, in iconic locations such as the Botanic Gardens, Sentosa, and Marina Bay.“
Tom and Jerry stands as one of the leading animation properties within Warner Bros. Discovery’s franchise portfolio, boasting a global social following of 50 million and almost 30 billion minutes of content viewed on the Warner Bros. Kids YouTube channel. Over its 83-year history, the series has produced more than 500 episodes and 15 movies, earning seven Academy Awards along the way. This new series is part of a broader collaboration between Warner Bros. Discovery and the Singapore Tourism Board, aiming to create content that showcases and encourages travel to Singapore.
