Tom & Jerry: Il film

This film may have not a "throw back" to the T&J originals but why should it be.. I was a movie for goodness sake.. I give it a 7 for best effort and when I did watch it some years ago it wasn't that all bad.. In fact I still think it's a great movie.. I hope none of you expected an hour and 25 minutes of tom running around the house trying to catch jerry... Maybe some of you had your hopes set on tom finally catching jerry and eating him in a full length film... I also wish that for those of you who criticize the movie you share with us how you think a certain movie should have been done or what could have been done to make a movie better.. I think their voices are OK but I the film would have been a lil me interesting if they didn't have the voices.. I respect the creators effort.. They took to tradition cartoon characters we were use to seeing chase each other around and blow each other up and put them plot were they are actually coming together to help being about a happy ending.. All in all it's a great movie and deserves 7 out of 10..

Okay, lots of people hate this movie because it goes against just about everything Tom and Jerry stands for. There's a lack of random fighting, the two enjoy each-other's company WAY too much and the plot really has nothing to do with Tom and Jerry in the slightest.

However, does it stand out on its own? If this didn't have "Tom and Jerry" in the title and starred a different cat and mouse duo, would people like it better? As a matter of fact, it could. It's a typical everyday family film in the eyes of one who isn't a hardcore Tom and Jerry fanatic. The songs aren't quite as bad as people say they are, though cheesy nonetheless, and the jokes feel a little dry if you've been watching Tom and Jerry all your life, but it passes.

The plot's alright, but nothing special. It's mostly about a little girl trying to find her father while also trying to escape from a bunch of people who want her for money, and for some odd reason, Tom and Jerry just HAPPEN to get involved. You all saw it coming, right? Again, for the songs, even the villain songs aren't really anything special. However, they're not nearly as bad as people say they are. I actually like the song "Friends to the end" even if it was the song that turned Tom and Jerry into... *Cough* "Really good friends" and in the Nostalgia Critic's eyes "Destroyed them". However, they're not the kinds of songs you want to listen to all the time. If you did, you'd probably hate them.

All in all, as a Tom and Jerry film, it fails. It has little to no relevance to the old cartoons and didn't even seem to be about them more than half the time. However, as a stand-alone title, it's kind of like Final Fantasy: Spirits Within. If you can ignore the fact that it's supposed to be Tom and Jerry, you can at least enjoy it to some extent. Not a great film, but a good one. C+

T&J are one my favorite cartoon characters. They are cute and cuddly, and they are a bundle of fun to watch. I used to giggled at their playfulness. Tom never gave up hope in trying to catch Jerry, and Jerry has never failed to find ways to avoid being caught. I still remembered that one time when my mom scolded me, I turned on the TV and watched T&J, and I was not sad anymore. That was how good T&J series were to me.

This film is a good, clean fun for the whole family. If I have kids, I would not mind them watch this film, rather than watching all those new cartoons that is filled with adult humors disguised in cute and cuddly characters. There were no sexual remarks or crass jokes and certainly no double meaning humor.

So who cares if T&J can talk to humans? So who cares if they stop fighting against each other and instead help each other to save the girl from the evil Aunt Pigg? If the film has to follow exactly from the TV series, then what is the point of having to make this film? So, a decent score of 8 out of 10. A clean, fun film for the entire family. And a definite watch for the young and the young at hearts.

What is people's deal with being so critical of movies(for kids usually as in the case of this one) they don't like? And I don't mean simply saying whether or not it appealed to you but really vicious, I spit on your grave, rip your beating heart out of their chest, damn you forever to the pits of oblivion for failing to live up to my happy expectations...

Seriously get over it.

I remember this film from when I was a kid and while admittedly its nothing spectacular, its an enjoyable, funny movie that most kids will love(because lets remember it is a kids film.) Heres a little info on some of the "controversial" aspects of the film.

Tom & Jerry talk - Seriously I don't see what the big deal is, the voices chosen for these two characters are suitable and funny more so than their various speaking voices in the old cartoons (thats right people they did speak in the cartoon.) Its really the highlight of the film as you'd expect.

Tom & Jerry sing - Why not? Tom & Jerry don't fight - In fact they become friends 'sort of' which isn't such a bad message to convey when you think about it, and really at least give the filmmakers some props for trying to do something new with the material.

So the point is just get over yourself and enjoy it.

PS. I just realized I used a quote from The Dark Knight in my summary

I'm a Tom and Jerry fan, and I can't believe how they release this movie... it's bad, really bad, lacks of T&J essence... the music sucks... Please! Don't waste your time watching this crap and stay with the T&J classics, with their awesome animation and their simple but funny stories. I really can't believe how MGM releases this BAD movie... it isn't the worst in animation history ("Bolívar, el héroe" IS THE WORST ANIMATION MOVIE ever), but I really think and advice all of you not to watch it... look for the classics -specially when Hanna and Barbera worked for MGM-. I'm a Tom and Jerry fan, and I'm really offended with this crap. I HATE IT!
