Production

The Karate Guard was directed by Tom and Jerry co-creator Joseph Barbera and Spike Brandt. It is Barbera's first Tom and Jerry short since he and his business partner William Hanna directed Tot Watchers and left the cartoon series nearly 50 years prior. Tot Watchers was the last short before Hanna's death on March 22, 2001, and The Karate Guard was Barbera's last before his own death on December 18, 2006.

Barbera storyboarded The Karate Guard with Iwao Takamoto and also executive produced The Karate Guard with Sam Register and Sander Schwartz. The short was animated by Brandt, Dave Brewster, Tony Cervone, Michael Nickelson, Barry O'Donahue, Wendy Perdue, and Jeff Siergey. The music for the short was composed by Michael Giacchino; it was conducted by Tim Simonec and recorded at the Eastwood Scoring Stage on September 1, 2005.
