Description:


    Tom chases Jerry in the airport, where they bump into a terrorist who tries to threaten the police with a bomb. Finally, they get on the airplane. A few years ago, I heard the news that Joseph Barbera, half of the legendary duo of Hanna-Barbera, passed away. It was the first time I knew who created Tom and Jerry, which I had loved and enjoyed for over 30 years. I respect Hanna-Barbera’s passionate creativity, which has entertained us all. I really wanted to make a purely entertaining animation just like their Tom and Jerry, and I came up with this idea in the airport. I was waiting for a plane, and I saw a few kids running and jumping near me. I just smiled and decided to make an animation about them. T he animation is made mostly with 3D software, but I painted the clouds at the end of the film with 2D software, because I wanted the sky to look more picturesque. The most challenging procedure was camera setting. I wanted a variety of very dynamic angles, to maintain the quick pace of the scenes.
