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.

Oh Warner Brothers, how can you destroy 2 fabulous animated characters in one movie. A Stupid story line, cats dogs singing pigeons live humans. You missed the essence of what Tom and Jerry is / was! Poor acting ! Roger Rabbit worked this does not !!!

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.

To be honest, I didn't expect much when I started watching this movie because of the trailer. But, it turned out pretty great! The storyline is interesting. Not only Tom and Jerry but also human characters are funny. Many scenes remind me of the classic Tom and Jerry. Chloë is such a natural actress. The other casts are also great. It's like a fresh start Tom and Jerry movie as an introduction for the kids these days. Just sit back... relax... and enjoy this movie. Don't take too serious.

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.
