Bharat Dabholkar (actor and director)
“Tom and Jerry has a subliminal message which is so positive. It says in spite of all the beating, bashing and threats, you keep bouncing back. There used to be an early morning show at Metro theatre many years ago where they used to screen Tom and Jerry and Donald Duck. We never used to miss that.”
Sarnath Banerjee (graphic novelist)
“Tom and Jerry portrays phenomenal violence. Subconsciously we, as humans, love to watch violence where the underdog emerges winner.”
Pooja Bedi (actor)
“Tom and Jerry is one of the best things that could have happened to the world. My favourite character has always been Jerry because of his never-ending enthusiasm to win. He knows how to wade his way around and get an upper hand.”
Shaina NC (politician/fashion designer)
“Tom and Jerry combines the best simplicity with mischief. The speed at which they chase each other and turn the entire neighborhood in a complete mess is a thing to truly die for.”
Prasoon Joshi (lyricist and adman)
“In the early 90s Tom and Jerry had a niche audience in India, largely the English speaking ones. Today, there are two groups of Indians — one that has grown up watching Tom and Jerry and the other that has been recently introduced. Now, people here relate no differently with Tom and Jerry than people in the West.”
