Tom y Jerry

Always was a fan of the cat and mouse duo "Tom and Jerry" so for sure I watched the latest big screen movie, and must say it was really good and entertained as the way the animation mixed with live action and people characters was super great. Set in New York City the big apple the tale involves a wedding(only things get elephant like crazy!) And both the cat and mouse take up shop in the luxury loft elegant hotel and their chases entertain! Wrapped around it all is a young lady and hotel lobby worker Kayla(Chloe Grace Moretz) as all become friends and learn about the ins and outs of life! The music score and scenes are well done as it even has avid fans thinking back to memories of the old classic Hanna Barbera days. In the end things stay the same with the classic chase rivals only it's live happily ever after for others. Good tribute and entertaining movie of the classic cat and mouse duo.

If the studio had spent as much money on story development and animation as it did for the "bot reviews", this motion picture could have been at least an "8". It seems Tim Story and the rest of the people involved in creating this mis-step either have not seen any of the original Tom & Jerry shorts, or have seriously misunderstood them. Off the top of my head, I can think of four different scenarios that would be faithful to the original cartoons and still make it relevant. And I'm not even WGA.

After "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" set the animated characters-and-live actor bar (many years ago, no less) any effort that does not at least come up to that standard is inexcusable. It is, however, a good example of the lengths a studio will go to in an effort to try and salvage a movie that they know is off the mark: trailers and promos that make it seem better than it is, and paid reviewers to boost the overall rating.

Animation quality was poor; an attempt to bring decades old flat almost 2-D animation into the present. Script also tried to be cool current w/ rap music & human personal issues as background. Result was a bizarre interfacing of animation & live action (actually non-action). Boring dog chases cat chases mouse interspersed w/scenes of humans in a hotel.

As someone who loved the original cartoon, this was so disappointing. Why did they think that we wanted to watch an hour of wedding drama and boring human subplots?

This would've been so much better if they just cut out all the human stuff, and stuck to what made the originals so great.

Also, the soundtrack has to be one of the most ill-fitting ones I've ever heard. Who chose all of those songs? It was completely jarring!

Overall, it was just tedious to sit through, and clearly missed the point of the show.

Where is Tom & Jerry? My kids totally lost interest. It's been mainly focused on a girl who's obnoxiously quirky who tries too hard to be funny. Boring.
