On Monday, October 4, 2021, Boomerang Africa will premiere Tom and Jerry in New York at 07:25 CAT.
The edition of the multiple-award-winning kids’ programme showcases the new escapades of the iconic duo and frenemies in New York, the United States of America (USA).
The favourite cat and mouse settled into their new digs at the Royal Gate Hotel and unleash mayhem across The Big Apple, inciting hilarious chaos uptown, downtown, and everywhere their manic escapades take them.
So, best believe, Central Park, giant museums, department stores, and even subway cars will be turned upside down, inside out or just be totally annihilated in this brand-new Tom and Jerry series!
All these chases and games have not been in vain; in fact, with their long history on the small and big screen, Tom and Jerry continue to bring on the childhood nostalgia and fresh memories with equal measure.
The two have also been over-achievers in their own unique way, having garnered 13 Oscar nominations for best short subject cartoon and winning seven of them in the franchise’s history. Plus, they did all that without even saying much; legend has it that the first time Tom and Jerry spoke at length was in their 1992 feature film. It does not get any more iconic than that!
The new series is a continuation of their tour around the world. The pair, who love to hate each other, have been around the globe, gone through time travel, into outer space, down every nook and cranny imaginable, and are now running wild in Manhattan.
