Too much of everything

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Brilliant and touching

Better Late Then Never

I saw the Nostalgia Critic's review of this film many times and it's so funny how I managed to see it on the day he reviewed the Willy Wonka Tom and Jerry movie! Probably the only good thing about this film is the animation. It's still not great, it's just decent. It's very hard to make a movie based on something that's only seven minutes long. In fact, the first seven minutes of this movie weren't bad! That's why I keep saying that many bad films would have worked better as short films, especially how this one was literally based on a series of short films. I think Tom's voice is so annoying.Tom and Jerry suddenly having voices doesn't even have that much relevance in the story. They fall into this same cliché where they focus on a random human instead of Tom and Jerry. We get a fairly large cast of goofy and obnoxious characters whom for the most part aren't very important. I couldn't believe this film had six songs in it! It's weird because I'm honestly not the biggest Tom and Jerry fan out there. Don't get me wrong, I definitely like it. I think that by watching bad movies like this and looking at stuff by the Nostalgia Critic do I realize that it probably holds up better as an adult. *1/2

I love Tom and Jerry, I'm a big fan of their shorts - I HATE Tom and Jerry the Movie! How did Joseph Barbera agree to this idea in the first place? Basically this story is about a cat and mouse who are helping the main character, Robin Starling find her father and escape her Aunt Figg. You heard me right, Tom and Jerry, the title characters are the side kicks of the story! When Tom and Jerry are the title characters we expect to see Tom and Jerry, not some ripoff brat from the Rescuers. They should have renamed it Robin's Wild Ride, since that's who the focus is on!And to make matters worse, if you know Tom and Jerry, then you know that they are mainly about slapstick and silent humor (not counting the few times they talk or Tom's hilarious screams). These guys would make me laugh so hard that I could burst! This movie robs that formula and makes them talk throughout the entire movie. My ears bleed when I hear them talking, not just because they usually don't talk but because the voices just don't work for the characters. Not to mention their dialogue is horribly written making the two sound childish, clichéd, and prove my point on why silent humor (from them is stronger). Tweety and Sylvester at least knew how to make conversations and slapstick work well together, but this movie outside of the fact Tom and Jerry mostly don't talk, made them sound way too childish. Oh and just to make matters worse, they're trying to work out how to be friends. SOMEBODY KILL ME AND END MY MISERY!!!! They're mortal enemies and that was why we loved them in the first place! They were meant to hate, chase, and try killing each other! That is just one of the many ways this movie ruins Tom and Jerry.It's a musical and the songs all sound like a five year old write these songs. The rhymes are silly, and the plot of each of the songs (all sung by villains except for two songs) and scream, "I'm the obvious villain" and have some of the most childish and lamest lines. For example Aunt Figg sings, "Money is such a beautiful word, it soars in my mind like a beautiful bird." The way these songs are sung, written, and composed is just unbearable and don't move the story along. You could cut out these songs and it wouldn't change the story. The villains are all over the place and their names (Aunt Figg, Mr. Lickboot, Dr. Applecheeks, etc) scream "I'm evil" and shove it in your face. Even the animation on them looks blatantly obvious. You can just tell when they're bad just by looking at them, listening to them talk, their songs, and those stupid names. I find the plot to be so predictable also, considering how "careful" Hollywood has been in giving time and effort to being so faithful to the original characters. Of course they would throw in the "juicy" plot of Tom and Jerry being friends, a girl in trouble being helped by them, the multiple villains, making it a musical, and so on. I wouldn't mind as much except for the fact that Tom and Jerry (the characters) were made for both kids and adults to laugh their heads off at for screams, sound effects, Tom getting smashed, priceless facial expressions, Jerry being a jerk, and more. But this movie was clearly made for kids only, which I wouldn't mind as long as they weren't making a movie like this to just keep kids quiet (which is what this movie was). It sucks out the fun out for many loyal Tom and Jerry fans. This is one of many films where I've given up hope of Hollywood ever trying to make a good story or being faithful to something so beloved. It's like what happened in Batman and Robin and how unfaithful it was to the original Tim Burton story. If you'll pardon me, I will now go to see a Tom and Jerry episode (where they're nonverbal!).

so the movie starts with unfunny slapstick humor, and as the movie goes on for the first ten minutes you are like: OK, not as funny as the original but it doesn't seem to get worse. and then it came: "i' tom""I' am Jerry" and thats when you yell WHAT! this movie hit me right in my childhood.as for the songs, there are way too many and they aren't that good as not only do they talk, but they sing. as for the plot, it has almost nothing to do with a cat and a mouse. the plot has something to do with a girl trying to find her father. yes, this movie is bad, really bad. the jokes are not funny, the slapstick is not funny.

I was shocked when I found out how poorly this film is received. I think it fits the Hanna-Barbera T&J shorts very well. Many people seem to forget that Tom and Jerry aren't just archenemies but also friends... they can't live without each other. Things start like a typical T&J cartoon but there are some one-time changes for this special occasion: Tom and Jerry talk and put their differences aside to help a little girl. There's still some funny slapstick like Tom falling from the 2nd floor, Jerry getting burnt in a ship's boiler and a fish biting Tom's tail. The musical score is marvelous and works perfectly with the high-quality animation. Dana Hill was the best voice actor for Jerry. The Droopy cameo in this is actually funnier than the one in Roger Rabbit.
