National Screen and Sound Archive of Wales and Arad Goch teamed up to provide young audiences a taste of Jerry the Tyke. Most recently Jerry the Tyke has been brought back to life by musician and composer Simon Lovatt. Today the films form part of the collection of the National Screen and Sound Archive of Wales. The 'lost' episodes were discovered by the Welsh Animation Group in the vaults of British Pathé at Pinewood, and have been described as '.the most comprehensive surviving material of a British screen cartoon creature' The rediscovery of the films has resulted in Jerry the Tyke being reintroduced to modern audiences, being shown on channel BBC 2W in the United Kingdom since 2002 and featuring at the Pordenone Silent Film Festival in 2005 and the British Silent Film Festival in 2010. In 2002, Welsh actor Rhys Ifans worked with BBC Wales to provide narration to several of the original Jerry the Tyke episodes, with music provided by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. Each silent short lasted for about four minutes and often featured Griffiths interacting with Jerry, though Jerry always remained on the drawn page. 40 animations were created between 19, and were shown throughout the World as part of Pathé Pictorial, a fortnightly cinema news-magazine. Inspired by the American animation Felix the Cat, Jerry the Tyke was a mixture of live-action sequences and animation, similar in style to Max Fleischer's Out of the Inkwell series. They were later joined by London-based co-animator Brian White.

Jerry the Troublesome Tyke was first produced in 1925 by animator Sid Griffiths and photographer Bert Bilby who both worked as projectionists at Cardiff's Capitol Cinema.
