Bardlerx Strictly average movie
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
TheLittleSongbird I have made no secret of loving Tom and Jerry, and while Trap Happy isn't a favourite it is very worthwhile. Yes even with the predictable story line. What does make the cartoon enjoyable are several things. There are the typical chases that make the Tom and Jerry cartoons so enjoyable, such as the ending when Butch turns on Tom. There is the cartoony yet fun violence that makes these cartoons further enjoyable. Then there is the simple but bright, lively and colourful animation, and fun, bombastic orchestral music to add substance to the cartoon. And of course the characters, Jerry is cocky especially at the beginning but he is likable still, and Tom and Butch are great as they try to catch him but to no avail. Overall, this was very enjoyable and re-watchable. 8/10 Bethany Cox
BA_Harrison Tom, frustrated by his inability to catch Jerry, calls an exterminator to rid him of the elusive rodent. When he arrives, the professional mouse hunter turns out to be none other than alley cat Butch, who proves to be just as useless at trapping Jerry as Tom. And twice as destructive!Six years after their first adventure (Puss gets The Boot), and Tom and Jerry seem to be in something of a rut: their last few adventures were strictly run-of-the-mill offerings that delivered the expected violence, but little in the way of anything new, and Trap Happy proves to be more of the same. Whilst there's plenty of smashing, thumping and walloping to be enjoyed, this particular fan of the destructive cat and mouse found himself wanting something a little different to break the monotony.Trap Happy gets a rating of 6/10 from me—not bad, but nothing special.
ccthemovieman-1 It's pretty sad when a cat has to look up in the yellow pages to find someone who is a "mouse exterminator." Obviously, our boy Tom has lost confidence in his ability to eliminate Jerry. (If you've watched enough of these cartoons, you can see why!).Jerry is cocky, too....at least early on in this story. The story revolves are Tom and "The Exterminator," the hired hand from the Yellow Pages. He is a familiar black cat in this series, and both he and Tom are shown doing what can to catch Jerry. Suffice to say - no surprise here - they never succeed. In the process, both they and the house take a severe beating, and things return to normal by the end.Overall, average gags which means it's entertaining all the way nothing much you haven't seen if you've watch a lot of T&J cartoons.
Shawn Watson T&J are chasing right from the beginning in this one and Tom is having his usual no luck on catching him. This time he decides to call an exterminator company, hoping that they might have some more elaborate traps handy that Tom could never dream of.They send a cat to catch the mouse (naturally) but, like Tom before him, Jerry his just not falling for his game of death and turns the tables on them. It's absolutely nothing fancy but the visual humor and imagination make it funny. You can tell how it's going to end but you never really expect Jerry to end up dead do you? There is also dialogue in this cartoon but no one is credited for it.
