Not Fit For Children?

Pros: Nice Colors

Cons: Scrawny drawings, unpleasant sounds, unfitting plots

I honestly wonder why some people (both young and adults) find this cartoon worthwhile of their time. I find this show irksome, illogical, uncreative - vulgar.

Let us look at nature - mouse is a pest, mouse eats human food and stenches the whole house. Human adopts cat to rid of mouse. Cat chases mouse, and mouse is usually caught. Human is happy, cat is happy. Suddenly, mouse turns to cute brown bear in two-legs with a brain - and, is everybody okay with that?

So, okay, let's just say that the mouse is worth our sympathy - thus Tom, the supposed to be pet now becomes the antagonist; and the pest now becomes the pet. Again, I don't get it.

Maybe this is an attempt to recreate (and improvise, or imitate) Mickey Mouse. Well, I'm sorry but you HB people totally missed the point! Mickey Mouse is a hero. He is not a scrawny little thing eating other people's cheese. Mickey Mouse is a animal-form human character, while Jerry - he's a mouse...

I really don't get. What is the message of this show? Is it animal-right advocacy. If that's the case - then I should do a show regarding human-rights. I mean, letting a mouse free to roam around your house and eating your food?

Or maybe it's portraying about violence. But a cat is a cat no matter what - and cats chase mice. Morals should not contradict to reality.

Well, to make it short - I don't think this is a good show for children. It might put their thinking in the wrong way...
