Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) has set the first localized version of Tom and Jerry<\/em> for Asia, with the cat and mouse to take their rivalry into Singapore.<\/p>\n

Produced locally in association with Warner Bros. Animation, the new series will premiere on Cartoon Network across the Asia Pacific and on HBO GO in Southeast Asia, Taiwan and Hong Kong later this year. A pilot episode is set to launch in August.<\/p>\n

After that, the 7×3-minute series will roll out internationally.<\/p>\n

The localized version of Tom and Jerry<\/em> is being animated by Aum Animation Studios India, with stories and designs from Singapore-based Robot Playground Media and Chips and Toon Studios. It is produced by Warner Bros. Discovery\u2019s Carlene Tan. Vivek Bolar serves as lead director.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis series brings back the iconic music and classic animation style from the Hanna-Barbera 1950s era\u2014but with a modern Singaporean twist,\u201d said Christopher Ho, head of kids for Southeast Asia at Warner Bros. Discovery. \u201cWith distinctive landmarks, backdrops and atmosphere, the Asian city-state is the ideal location to create a humorous addition to the Tom and Jerry<\/em> canon. Working with homegrown creative talent in Singapore and across Asia, this project grows the much-loved franchise in the region and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vishnu Athreya, senior VP of series at Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios, added, \u201cTom and Jerry are two of our most universally loved characters, proving that laughs can translate to any audience. The fans in Asia have long embraced these characters, and it\u2019s great to finally give them a version to call their own.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
