First episode of new Tom And Jerry show set in Singapore has the pair fighting over durians

The episode opens with a wide shot of Marina Bay as we move to Tom in a high-rise apartment, indulging in durians. It’s clear from the animation that these durians are smelly which causes various items in the house (including a maneki-neko) to react negatively.

The odour finally makes its way to Jerry, causing him to choke and accidentally drop a few plates onto Tom’s head. Classic Hanna-Barbera-esque shenanigans ensue as Jerry tries to get rid of the durians while Tom does his best to protect his stash.

The hijinks culminate in a scene where Jerry launches a firecracker at Tom, only for it to ricochet back to him. The impact causes Tom’s durian to splatter all over Jerry, making him realise what Singaporeans already know: Durians taste amazing.

Having seen the light, Jerry reconciles with Tom as they share Tom’s last durian.
