Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
bugssponge This movie is very good! I have 2 copies of it at home.The movie opens up with Tom and Jerry chasing each other and Tom's owner leaves him. Now homeless, he has to find a new home. He gets thrown out on the street, and meets a dog and flea, who teach Tom and Jerry to be friends. They get mugged, and Tom runs into some alley cats. Jerry saves Tom however, and they meet a girl named Robyn under a bridge.We then fast forward to Aunt Figg, the guardian, crying for Robyn, and the girl is brought back. She sends Robyn to her room, in the attic, cause her room was given to the fat dog. Tom and Jerry are separated from Robyn as they are sent to an animal-prison. They manage to escape and get the girl out. They lose each other at sea and Robyn ends up on an island with a carnival. Tom and Jerry end up elsewhere. Lickboot, the lawyer, finds out Robyn's dad is still alive, which Robyn wants, since her mom died young. Determined, they put a reward of a million bucks for the finding of Robyn. Captain Kiddie runs the carnival and sees the reward on a milk carton and traps her on a ferris wheel to get the money.Dr. Applecheek, the owner of the animal shop, is mad at Aunt Figg because Tom and Jerry were the cause of all the animals to escape, Figg disagrees and Dr. leaves. The henchmen kick him out, when he tells them they won't get any of the money, so he steals an ice cream truck to drive to the carnival. Tom and Jerry free Robyn and trap the henchmen when they arrive. But Applecheek leaves them there, as revenge for not letting him stay in the truck. Aunt Figg arrives and they all chase Robyn as she runs away.Captain Kiddie and Applecheek end the race when they hit each other on the bridge after the dog destroyed it. Lickboot, Figg, and dog head for the cabin where Tom and Jerry are headed and make it there before Tom and Jerry. Figg accidentally knocks a lamp and burns the house unintentionally, but Tom and Jerry push them onto the boat they were on earlier and they sail away. Robyn's dad comes and rescues them.They go back to their current house and Robyn gives Tom and Jerry a new house. But they start chasing after resuming their antics.The animation is wonderful, by the original directors of the movie, but takes a different approach on the characters, which is acceptable.10/10
mwcrunner Now I know this is a film that came out over 20 years ago and now a days people think its terrible, but let me tell you something. Tom and Jerry are not dead. They live on forever in our spirits. Besides this is the only time they ever talked and I didn't think the plot was that bad. I also like that little girl Robin who was so depressed and desperate to get to the summer place his father built and to get away from that awful Pristine Figg. She was pretty mean anyway and so was that Dr. Applecheek guy and he was voiced by Henry Gibson who also voiced Wilbur in Charlotte's Web. One thing I now realize that doesn't make sense in this movie though is that the summer home that Robins father built is in Tibet which is of course not here in America, but in Asia next to China. Also they just said that Tibet is passed Cleveland as in Cleveland, Ohio. Why the heck would it be outside of Cleveland, Ohio? Its next to China. Learn geography for gods sake. Now the whole reason is that many people disliked this movie was because they all thought that it would be just Tom and Jerry being silent throughout it. Well I think that would just be silly. Tom and Jerry had to talk sometime soon so whats wrong with that? It's done wonders for many other famous cartoon characters and Tom talked in some old Tom and Jerry cartoons. All in all its a good film and entertaining. Also I got sad during Robins song so that must've made some people have heart for this. So people just leave this film alone for the love of God. Jeez. It's a movie about Tom and Jerry and it has to have a plot so get used to it.
Terryfan Now how can you take one of the greatest cartoon teams of all time and almost ruin what makes them great?I know making them talk, these are two of the greatest silent film stars in history and you make them talk? Come on that is true injustice.While it may have try to target a new generation of fans for those of us who grew up watching the reruns on TV this is one of the biggest injustice ever done to a classic.The plot for the film is just ugh to say the least. The Animation in the film well some of it is good work but the rest is pretty much like watching a coloring book come to life.The music in the film is not even really convincing to sell the story.Even the story itself isn't all it crack up to be it just pretty much this film was made just to get some money and from what I learned it wasn't even a box office success.So pretty much stay away from this film if you love Tom and Jerry you will avoid this film.I give Tom and Jerry: The Movie a 2 out of 10
polyvinylchloride 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.
