This one absolutely threw me. While Tom and Jerry has become the new Scooby-Doo for Warner Bros, getting at least one DTV per year, their latest one seems very interesting to say the least.
Tom and Jerry: Spy Quest (featuring Johnny Quest.
Yeah. And it's every bit as awesome and strange as it sounds. JQ characters did pop up on Mystery Inc and an issue of Scooby-Doo Team Up. that's true. But they're similar enough in style and design and made in the same era. They've paired the characters from the theatrical career start of Hanna Barbera with their 1960's action series. Now, WB wanted to do something with the characters for so long that they forced all the parody versions of the characters on Venture Bros to have parody names in case they made a movie they were planning. Obviously they didn't.
What I see in this over all is using the strong Tom and Jerry brand to effectively sell Johnny Quest, who doesn't really have a hold on anyone under the age of 30 (at least). I like the kinda cartoon designs the characters were given here.
