Planned Homicide - Year of the MouseĪfter Jerry and his friend prank Tom a number of times, Tom gets them on gun-point and traps them inside a bottle. As the rope unties, three little kittens pop their heads out, purr and rush towards their paradise.Īnd the guard, while shaking his head, says “what some people won’t do.” Imagine explaining this scene to your kid. Before Tom’s turn comes, the guard is caught by surprise as a squishy, wet pouch hops its way towards him. Child Murder - Heavenly PussĪfter being crushed by a piano (promising start, no?)

Here are 4 times Tom & Jerry was too dark and disturbing to be a ‘cartoon show for kids’. Having said that, even one of the most beloved shows of all time had certain dark and disturbing undertones to a few of their episodes hinting that maybe, just maybe, the show wasn’t for the kids but for their parents as well. Even then, whenever we tuned in to watch our favourite pair of ‘frenemies’ they seemed to entertain us, just the same.

The original show ran for over 64 years, and a total of 162 episodes were produced during this time. Generations have grown watching them try to catch and beat each other up. People from all over the world love the endless war between the cat and the mouse. First aired in 1940, Tom & Jerry has become a timeless classic.
