I love this movie so much

The Worst Film Ever

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The acting in this movie is really good.

This Tom and Jerry A Nutcracker Tale also has the Wilhelm Scream. You can hear the scream when the cats fall off the cliff. The Wilhelm scream was first heard in the 1951 movie Distant Drums. The sound effect was first done by Sheb Wooley. He played in many western movies and was also a regular on the television series Rawhide. The Wilhelm Scream is often used in modern day movies and you can hear it in Troy, Twilight Saga: New Moon, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, License to Wed, Kill Bill Volume One, Inglorious Bastards, Knowing, Are We Done Yet, The Water Horse, Tropic Thunder, Family Guy Blue Harvest, Space Balls, Transformers and Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Plot keywords: Christmas story, comedy, cartoon, and Wilhelm Scream.

I will not say this movie is perfect, for me it is too short and I didn't care for the dialogue that much. That said, it is a very sweet and enjoyable movie for kids. Just for the record, I am 17 and I adore Tom and Jerry. The DTV movies have been mixed, some have been disappointing like Fast and the Furry but others have been surprisingly good especially Tom and Jerry Blast Off To Mars. Tom and Jerry:A Nutcracker Tale is for me one of the better ones, and perhaps the one I enjoyed most. The animation is impressive; it is colourful and fluid, and despite one or two forgivable stiff movements the character movements weren't too bad. The story, very loosely based on the story of the ballet and on the timeless story by ETA Hoffmann, is very sweet and I think original too. There is some great comedy, more to do with what's going on screen, rather than the dialogue. The voice acting wasn't bad either, Tara Strong is a great voice actress and her voicing of Le Petite Ballerina was no exception. Kathaleen Barr is another talented voice actress, and I really liked her as Nellie. And Garry Chalk seems to be having a ball with the King of the Cats. Speaking of the characters, they were still engaging with great personalities, Le Petite Ballerina is beautiful yet feisty and Tom and Jerry while they don't do enough of the hilarious antics that made the original series so enjoyable are still likable. For me though, the best part of the movie was the music. Tchaikovsky's music is always delightful, and it was put to surprisingly clever use here. They had my favourite parts in, though I did wish they had Dance of the Snow Fairies and the Pas De Deux, they could have been so effective. But the climax with the soldiers is inspired. All in all, a very enjoyable DTV offering. 8/10 Bethany Cox

First off I just wanna express how glad I am to not have invested a single penny in viewing this movie, because this is horrific in every single way.The whole movie looks and sounds like it was made by a bunch of useless people who clearly lack both humor, and are stripped of any artistic talent what-so-ever.Now, what is wrong with this movie? Short version; everything. It doesn't look right, doesn't feel right, its not Tom&Jerry at all.I curse Time Warner for ever letting this garbage hit the market, one lousy episode of the old Tom&Jerry is 100x better than this sorry excuse for a cartoon.If T&J was a crappy cartoon to begin with, maybe I wouldn't bother, but its not! T&J is one of the best cartoons out there, and now its clear that the legacy died many many years ago..Don't buy it, don't watch it, thats all I can say.

I read the post before...I think he/she never saw an original tom and jerry before....it has nothing to do with the original, even the faces are drawn wrong...and when the hell was so much talking and crappy singing in the original?? this is wrong. It's the first time I comment on something because this kind of remakes are destroying the good old memories and mocking the work of all the talented people who worked so hard back then for the magic to happen. I think it's important to say something about this so the next time someone thinks about "remaking" better do a very good job. It's such a pity the kids today will prefer monsters and anime kind of things just because the old school is so poorly represented.
