Do kids even know who Tom and Jerry are anymore?


Don't seem very relevant anymore.

If Sonic can make a succesful comeback, Tom & Jerry surely can too. Sonic was not even popular in the first place, specifically only to Sega gamers, while Tom & Jerry were known by all kids all over the world.

Sonic was from the 80s.
Tom and Jerry are from the Great Depression or something.

my daughter used to sit on my father in-law's lap and watch it with him. She still loves it to this day.

Oh yeah, they still got new movies coming out the ol' wah-zoo. These guys have successfully transcended generations. I think their shenanigans are just tame enough not to be overkill for innocent, young eyes, which is saying something because back when these 'toons' originally aired they were aimed at all ages, including adults, hence all the amuck and chaos! Cartoons were also a clever way to show off cool technology and animation back then. This idea has not changed that much, even today.

Their fantasy string of homage-style movies in recent years including 'Wizard of Oz', 'Sherlock Holmes' and 'Robin Hood and is Merry Mice' are serviceable for adults in an amusing, sentimental way, being cute and whimsical. However, they are much more clearly directed towards children.
