Trailer For The TOM & JERRY Anime Series TOM AND JERRY GOKKO — GeekTyrant
Tom and Jerry have been through a lot in their 80+ years with exploding kitchens, destroyed pianos, the occasional truce, but now they're heading into new territory… anime.
Warner Bros. has dropped the trailer for Tom and Jerry Gokko , an all-new Japanese-produced series that reimagines the classic cat-and-mouse duo through a softer, slice-of-life lens, and it's coming to English-speaking audiences.
The series originally aired exclusively in Japan on Cartoon Network Japan starting in November 2022, and just wrapped its latest episode in May 2025. While no firm release date for the English version was announced, Tom and Jerry Gokko will be streaming for free on the WB Kids YouTube channel sometime 'soon.'
The show is co-produced by Warner Bros. Japan and draws some of its visual inspiration from the Tom and Jerry: Seven Colors manga.
This isn't your typical high-energy, slapstick-fueled rivalry. In Tom and Jerry Gokko , Tom and Jerry are more like playful frenemies than bitter enemies. Sure, the trailer shows them messing with each other here and there, but the tone is gentler, more kid-friendly, and less chaotic than the vintage shorts or even some of the modern adaptations.
It's clearly aimed at a younger demographic, with pastel colors, cute designs, and calmer pacing, far from the anvil-dropping chaos we grew up with. It's a strategy that makes sense in the current streaming era where younger audiences live on platforms like YouTube. Plus, with anime continuing to dominate global pop culture, fusing the Tom and Jerry brand with that visual language is a smart move by Warner Bros.
Yeah, longtime fans might miss the classic cartoon carnage, but Gokko isn't trying to replace the original mayhem, it's just a new angle on two characters that have been around longer than most of us. We'll just have to wait and see whether it lands with nostalgic fans or clicks with preschoolers.

Seeking the Dalai Lama's Blessing, a Tibetan Monk Sets Out to Flee China
DHARAMSHALA, India—For Jamyang Monlam, a 24-year-old Buddhist monk in Tibet, time was running out. He longed to meet the Dalai Lama, the 89-year-old religious leader revered by Tibetans but viewed by China's Communist leaders as a dangerous separatist. Now, the Dalai Lama, who has lived in exile in India since China seized control of Tibet in the 1950s, was growing frailer.

Tech leader unveils groundbreaking laptop concept that runs on sunlight and folds flat like a book: 'Worth keeping an eye on'
Lenovo has been known to push the boundaries of laptop design, and its latest concept devices continue to deliver fresh innovations that include solar power. At Mobile World Congress 2025, the laptop maker revealed both the Lenovo ThinkBook Flip AI PC and Yoga Solar PC concepts, which could inform the next generation of consumer laptops. CNBC said that given the company's track record of bringing these innovative designs to market, "it's worth keeping an eye on what the Chinese technology giant is up to." The ThinkBook "codename Flip" AI PC, as the company called it, showed off an outward folding OLED display that can provide 18 inches of visual workspace or be folded over for a tablet-style interface. Workflows powered by artificial intelligence, split-screen multitasking, and smart workspace adaptation are being tested in this unique design. Sustainable power is also on the mind of Lenovo engineers, who worked up the Yoga Solar PC proof of concept to help capture the power of the sun to extend the device's runtime. This model includes a photovoltaic cell with 24% energy conversion efficiency, which is one of the best ratings available on the market, the company said. It's achieved through its Back Contact Cell technology, which places brackets and gridlines behind the solar cell for maximum absorption. Its Dynamic Solar Tracking system monitors the panel's current and voltage, working alongside the Solar-First Energy system for prioritizing the sun's rays for energy savings and stability. It can even generate power in low-light conditions while the PC is idle. The Yoga Solar PC can convert enough direct sunlight in 20 minutes to power up to one hour of video playback, according to the company. Measuring just 15 millimeters thin and weighing approximately 2.7 pounds, it's being called the world's first ultra-slim solar-powered PC. This improves upon Samsung's NC215S, which was reportedly the first laptop to include an integrated solar panel in 2011 and needed two hours of sunlight to run for one hour. Engineers and designers are realizing the potential of harnessing the sun's rays to power devices big and small across a variety of applications.

By leveraging renewable energy sources at every opportunity, we can more rapidly eliminate the use of dirty fuels and promote a cleaner, safer environment. Aptera's battery-powered electric vehicle includes solar panels on much of its exterior that help extend its runtime, while other companies have designed portable solar cells to help charge electric vehicles while parked. Lenovo has a track record of sustainable endeavors, championing repairs when possible to reduce waste, and offering cash for trade-ins so they can handle old devices more responsibly. Mary Jacques, Lenovo's executive director of Global ESG and Regulatory Compliance, told The Cool Down last year: "Our customers are really hungry for more and more information about not just the products that they're buying, but the impact that we can have on their sustainability journey."

YAHOO POLL: Do you agree with US defence chief's comparison of Donald Trump and Lee Kuan Yew?
In his address at the Shangri-La Dialogue, a leading security and defence forum focused on the Asia-Pacific, in Singapore on Saturday (31 May), US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth invoked comparisons between President Donald Trump's approach towards the Indo-Pacific and Singapore's founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew's well-known pragmatism, "shaped by a preference for engaging on the basis of commerce and sovereignty – not war". "These two historic men share a willingness to challenge old ways of doing things that no longer make sense. Under President Trump's leadership, we are applying this common sense approach here in the Indo-Pacific and throughout the world," he said.

Hegseth was underlining the US' new approach in dealing with the rest of the world, where "America does not have or seek permanent enemies". "The United States is not interested in the moralistic and preachy approach to foreign policy of the past. We are not here to pressure other countries to embrace and adopt policies or ideologies. We are not here to preach to you about climate change or cultural issues. We are not here to impose our will on you," he said. Still, Hegseth called on Asian countries to increase their defence spending to match levels that the US expects of European allies, saying that they bear the brunt of the 'threat' of China and North Korea in their backyards.
