Tom and Jerry (1998 TV series)

Tom and Jerry, also known as Tom and Jerry: Millennium, is an American animated television series starring the seven-time Academy Award-winning cat-and-mouse duo Tom and Jerry.

Produced by Hanna-Barbera Cartoons (1998-2001), Warner Bros. Animation (2001-2004) and Turner Entertainment Co., the series serves as the first Tom and Jerry television series to fully emulate the original theatrical shorts created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. The show premiered on January 24, 1998 after the Tom vs. Jerry marathon and aired on Cartoon Network between April 1998 and April 2004.

Animation
Animation for the series was outsourced to various different studios (each with their own unique distinctive style), including Yowza Animation and Red Rover Studios in Toronto, Canada, Rough Draft Studios in both Glendale, California and Seoul, South Korea and Warner Bros. Feature Animation in Burbank, California.

Music
Like Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs, Tom and Jerry utilized the most heaviest musical score for an animated program, and just like the original theatrical shorts, the music plays an important part in the series, emphasizing the action, filling in for traditional sound effects, and lending emotion to the scenes. Warner Bros. selected Walter Murphy to compose a rendition of the Tom and Jerry theme by Scott Bradley and to serve as the music director of the series. Murphy created complex scores that combined elements of jazz, classical, and pop music; some of the scores often reprised contemporary pop songs, as well as music from the Warner Bros. film library.

Other composers were contacted to create dramatic underscore for each episode during the series run, these composers include: TBD.
