I love the Karateguard. I think that this one cartoon is greatest piece of cinema ever! The KarateGuard is a new cartoon with the classic elements of the original tom and jerry's. Mr. Joe Barbera himself worked on this cartoon, the man who helped create the original cartoons! Also the brilliant genius's of the Duck Dodgers series have worked on this cartoon. You heard me right! The Awesome Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone put,no strike that, I mean poured their very souls and hearts into this seven minute masterpiece. You can definitely see Cervones influence in the cartoon from the gut-hacking action in this cartoon and Brandt's influence from the cackling escapade of Tom. There is quite a history of Brandt and Cervone really, I believe they met in a karate class in which they got the genius idea for this cartoon. As far as cinema influence goes you see some reference from the Karate Kid Movie 1 - 7, I think that its pretty obvious that spike in this particular cartoon was trained by Mr. Mieagy.Yes I would definitely recommend the KarateGuard if you miss both tom and jerry and the classic karate kid movies, it an awesome combination of both of them. Thank you so much for the KarateGuard!
