It's getting harder and harder to tell the difference between YouTube cartoons dreamt up by teens in their bedrooms and big-budget TV studio productions created by professionally-trained artists.

‘Tom and Jerry Show’ Premieres April 9 on Cartoon Network
"The Tom and Jerry Show" will premiere Wednesday, April 9th, at 5:30pm (ET/PT) on Cartoon Network. It's being pitched as "a fresh take on the iconic frenemies that preserves the look, core characters and sensibilities of the original theatrical shorts." Unlike the original 6-7 minute theatrical shorts, which were produced during the 1940s-'50s, the new episodes will be 11-minutes each.
Tom & Jerry Short Remade With CGI Anime Girls
This a fan-made experiment in which the 1956 Tom & Jerry short "Down Beat Bear" is remade in CGI with anime girls in the roles of Tom, Jerry, and the dancing bear. The characters don't appear to be random and likely represent some part of fandom of which I'm not aware. Even lacking that context, I still think it's a fascinating piece of work, not so much for its animation or technical merit as for its resurrection of (and reverence for) classic theatrical animation in a completely unexpected setting.
