It will be presented as a series of animated musical shorts.<\/p>\n<p>Will Finn (<em>Tom and Jerry in New York<\/em>) serves as showrunner and co-executive producer, alongside Sam Register (<em>Looney Tunes Cartoons<\/em>). Denise Downer (<em>Stillwater<\/em>) is story editor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on the beloved classic that so many parents grew up with, <em>Tom and Jerry Time<\/em> introduces a whole new generation to these iconic characters with a fresh and original take,\u201d said Amy Friedman, head of kids and family programming at Warner Bros. \u201cFor our youngest audience, Sam Register and his team at Warner Bros. Animation managed to keep all the playful hijinks, drop all the cartoon violence and add the most delightful early childhood learning through song and story. It\u2019s playful\u2014with a purpose\u2014and we think parents and their little ones will love watching and learning together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the <em>Tom and Jerry<\/em> greenlight, WarnerMedia announced the casting for <em>Batwheels<\/em> and <em>Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed: The Underground Rock Experience<\/em>.
