Tom & Jerry: O Filme

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.

Fun Fact 🌝 : Over the course of its original run, the -{ Madly }- talented animation duo of William Hanna and Joseph Barbera produced an Un-equivocally impressive total of One-hundred-and-fourteen " Tom and Jerry " short movies for MGM from 1940 to 1958. During this time, they won a Whopping -{ S E V E N 🙆 💥❗}- Academy Award in the 'Best Animated Short Film' category. Well, although that fact certainly helped -{ Motivate }- me to watch " Tom and Jerry " { 2021 }, it is 'in no way' meant to be a hint from me-to-you, that -{ This }- particular iteration of the world famous entertainment franchise is in any way worthy of a 'Best Feature' Oscar .

👉{ However }👈 , EVEN having said that, I want to make it clear that : ' just the very contemplation ' : of the " Genuinely Phenomenal Levels Of Imagination" that it must have taken the dramatically & -{ Comedically }- Fabulous 💎❗Chloë Grace Moretz { & a whole -Host- of other Principal-characters } to, well ...( basically )... perform -The Entire Picture- opposite their two " Leading Critters " who ( in-point-of-fact ), well... didn't really even EXIST-At-All ...leaves one in complete " Awe " of -not only- their collective Acting Prowess 💜❗, but also with a 'Profound' sense of -{ Respect }- for the impressively ambitious scope of the overall project, itself .

Summary : I -Sincerely- recommend enjoying this just as more of a casual, 'at home, sort of watch'..... { -Unless- , Of Course , you happen to be chaperoning 👉( Pre-Teens )👈 to the Movies ( & hopefully in a safe watching environment, at that ) } ...& -{ Not }- as a full fledged cinema-Event, especially for those of you who may tend to be financially conservative in terms of their big-screen movie watching habits, & more so at this time of ( general ) global hardship. You -{ Won't }- be remiss, watching it on a streaming platform, or on Dvd , -{ INSTEAD }- . A " Supportive , -{ Pandemic Considerate }- " 6.50 out of 10 😘 🐭 🐱 .

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.

Tom and Jerry is part of our childhood memories, their sweet rivalry is what I expected from this movie and the movie serves its purpose. It's a nice attempt to bring the classic cartoon show to a live action movie, the movie has its funny elements and classic cat and mouse chase scenes. Also they tried to show an emotional angle between Tom and Jerry which I didn't mind but was a bit cringy. In conclusion I'd say if you loved the original show, just go for it.... You wouldn't be disappointed. And don't pay attention to 1 star reviewreviews
