Tom and Jerry in New York is animated series in the Tom and Jerry franchise that airs on HBO Max. The series is a follow-up to Tom & Jerry (2021) and features the eponymous duo's adventures at the Royal Gate Hotel and across New York City.

Has the same art style as The Tom and Jerry Show (2014), with the original crew returning.


Tropes:

  • Adaptation Name Change: Toodles Galore appears as the primary love interest under the name Toots, in much the same way the original Toots appeared in The Tom and Jerry Show (2014) under the name Toodles.
  • Animated Adaptation: Of the above-mentioned Tom & Jerry (2021).
  • The Artifact: Just like the aforementioned Tom and Jerry Show, this series retains the classic gasp, gulp, and screaming sound effects from the original shorts for the duo, even though they stick out like a sore thumb compared to the more modern noises of the show.
  • Blowing a Raspberry: The first episode has Jerry blow a raspberry at Tom.
  • Demoted to Extra: Meathead is relegated to being in incidental background character who never has any dialogue after being a semi prominent character in The Tom and Jerry Show (2014).
  • Flanderization: Spike mostly alternated between a Bully Bulldog and the Only Sane Man in The Tom and Jerry Show. But in this series almost every short has him as a hothead bully, with one episode oddly having Spike become incredibly egotistical after reading a book about a king and forcing both Tom and Jerry to wait on him on hand-and-foot.
  • Formula-Breaking Episode: The show mostly, as it name implies, takes place in New York City. With that said, two shorts go against this; "Swiss Cuckoo" taking place in the Swiss Alps and "Kabuki Cat" taking place in Japan.
  • Humanoid Female Animal: Toodles Galore, as usual (She doesn't even have a tail or whiskers!), which bordered on Uncanny Valley in some scenes.
  • Identical Stranger: "Stunt Double Trouble" features an out of work actor who happens to look exactly like Tom offering to work as Tom's stunt double.
  • Prince and Pauper: "The Hairy Dignitary" features Monty, the pet cat of a dignified ambassador, swapping places with Tom for the day.
  • Stock Scream: As mentioned above, a lot of both Tom's and Jerry's dialogue is made up of Bill Hanna's classic screams, gasps, gulps, and laughs from the original cartoons (including the favorite "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" and "AAAAAAAA-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO!!!").
  • Suddenly Voiced: In "Stunt Double Trouble", Tom's double continues to talk even when he is acting in Tom's place, briefly confusing everyone he interacts with.
    Butch: Hey there, Tommy boy, I saw a nice big tuna fish in that garbage can over there!
    Tom's Double: Fantastic! I love tuna fish!
    Butch: [Beat] Since when do you talk?
    • Tom himself briefly sings in "Torched Song", trying to out-compete Butch for Toodles' attention at one point.
  • Team Rocket Wins: Played with in the first episode. Tom succeeds with getting a ring he wanted to give to his darling Toodles and defeating the burglar who tried to take itnote . Afterwards, she kisses him after he finally gives it to her. The only downside for him? Jerry takes a bite out of the hot dog she gave him and subsequently escapes, though it seemed to be as payback. However, while this isn't Tom's first victory in the franchise overall, it was his first in this particular series and he has a poor win-loss record franchise-wide.
  • Three Shorts: Each episode is comprised of four shorts. The first, second, and fourth shorts are each five minutes long. The third short is two minutes long.
