Tom and Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes

This movie is not as funny as you see tommy & jerry in cartoons.The characterization of tom & jerry is not great.You can't hardly see the funny scenes between tommy & jerry.The movie goes straightly in to the story.What the thing spoiled is story which is very pale & old and doesn't suit anyway to tom & jerry or any cartoons,screenplay was very weak.You can predict what is going to happen throughout the movie.The sherlock character is just waste and totally misfired.Droopy character was much better shaped when compared to other characters and brings out few laughs.There is nothing great to say about this video flick.The video length is 50minutes only so take a look at it in your free time if you love tom & jerry seriously.Otherwise better to leave it.

I haven't seen a cartoon this cartoony in a toons age. It all starts out when Mr. Sherlock Holmes asks Jerry Mouse to fetch his morning paper. Things just naturally escalate into, you guessed it, a Tom and Jerry cartoon. The funny thing is, it makes me laugh. The spirit of the cat and mouse movies of yore is perfectly intact. The first thing that strikes me is how animated it is. There's even some appearances of some Tex Avery characters, and I won't say which ones. Oh, yeah, and Sherlock Holmes does some stuff too. All in all, it's a fun feature, if a little short. I was never much of a Tom and Jerry fan, but I do appreciate the attention to making it a lot like the old cartoons using the new technology.

This is a mish mash of genres and other vintage cartoons styles such as Tex Avery.

In London, a crook is stealing valuable jewels. Spike and Tyke are assigned to guard the valuable Star of Punjab and even that is stolen from under their noses.

Miss Red, the beautiful singer who has the crowd howling is being framed for the crimes.

Sherlock Holmes is on the case and Moriarty is the main suspect.

Tom and Jerry decide to assist Miss Red.

PC Droopy is also on the case of the jewel thief.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are second fiddle here.

This is after all a Tom and Jerry cartoon and they get involved in lots of close shaves and shenanigans.

This is a breezy cartoon, there are several homages to cartoons of yesteryear, probably lost on the younger viewers.

On a bit of a Sherlock high at the moment, so thought this would be a nice change of pace from all the Rathbone action. Surprisingly, this is both a fine Tom and Jerry cartoon and a decent Sherlock Holmes movie. They don't exactly gel seamlessly together. The film has a bit of mystery and then pauses while Tom and Jerry get up to their usual shenanigans before continuing. This means that the mystery is very simple, with a number of jewel heists and a blackmail scheme becoming connected. The voice cast are superb with York and Rhys-Davies channelling Rathbone and Bruce to a T. McDowell also makes for a good Moriarty. Luckily, neither Tom nor Jerry speaks here. Jerry is Holmes' assistant and is his usual cruel self. Tom and Jerry work well together when they have to, but will one up the other if there's a chance. Slapstick is the main comedic ingredient here, and there is no attempt at making it anything special. The animation is very colourful and it really allowed me to just be absorbed by all around it. I particularly liked how they blended Holmes' London with cartoons without ever addressing the fact. Horny wolves, talking dog policemen, and flying cats all live together in this world. Towards the end it did feel a bit rushed, with Holmes just suddenly thinking of the answer because the plot called for it. Moriarty's final plan was a bit silly for such a genius, which is the only real time it betrayed either one of its sources. A good film that should keep most people entertained.

This movie's pacing is really good, and I loved that "Bambashoo" song with the umbrella in the middle, which was an actually good song.

The best part however is the climax, which is just way too good, especially with the awesome background music.
