Minahzur Rahman I don't care what anyone thinks of this movie, but I actually enjoyed it. It was really good to see that Tom and Jerry are able to talk, and finally work together which is unusual - I know! The story is good. I really like that little girl, and was supporting her all the way, and I liked the fact that Tom and Jerry was with her. Don't expect too much because this movie was good for what it was. You should just see it, and watch the story unfold. It was a good Tom and Jerry movie.

gavin6942 Tom and Jerry must save a girl from her evil aunt.Most people think the film's biggest weakness is allowing the main characters to talk. And I have to agree that this was probably a misstep. For the first 15 minutes or so, I was impressed that the creators decided to make a full-length film with two leads who never speak. And then they dropped that. At least they got Richard Kind.Tom and Jerry, although around for a long time, have never been the most beloved of cartoons, and this movie is not terribly beloved by just about anyone. If someone were to say that it has been forgotten, they would have a serious point... I have very little interest in ever seeing it again.

Bonnie O'Connor I love Tom and Jerry, I'm a big fan of their shorts - I HATE Tom and Jerry the Movie! How did Joseph Barbera agree to this idea in the first place? Basically this story is about a cat and mouse who are helping the main character, Robin Starling find her father and escape her Aunt Figg. You heard me right, Tom and Jerry, the title characters are the side kicks of the story! When Tom and Jerry are the title characters we expect to see Tom and Jerry, not some ripoff brat from the Rescuers. They should have renamed it Robin's Wild Ride, since that's who the focus is on!And to make matters worse, if you know Tom and Jerry, then you know that they are mainly about slapstick and silent humor (not counting the few times they talk or Tom's hilarious screams). These guys would make me laugh so hard that I could burst! This movie robs that formula and makes them talk throughout the entire movie. My ears bleed when I hear them talking, not just because they usually don't talk but because the voices just don't work for the characters. Not to mention their dialogue is horribly written making the two sound childish, clichéd, and prove my point on why silent humor (from them is stronger). Tweety and Sylvester at least knew how to make conversations and slapstick work well together, but this movie outside of the fact Tom and Jerry mostly don't talk, made them sound way too childish. Oh and just to make matters worse, they're trying to work out how to be friends. SOMEBODY KILL ME AND END MY MISERY!!!! They're mortal enemies and that was why we loved them in the first place! They were meant to hate, chase, and try killing each other! That is just one of the many ways this movie ruins Tom and Jerry.It's a musical and the songs all sound like a five year old write these songs. The rhymes are silly, and the plot of each of the songs (all sung by villains except for two songs) and scream, "I'm the obvious villain" and have some of the most childish and lamest lines. For example Aunt Figg sings, "Money is such a beautiful word, it soars in my mind like a beautiful bird." The way these songs are sung, written, and composed is just unbearable and don't move the story along. You could cut out these songs and it wouldn't change the story. The villains are all over the place and their names (Aunt Figg, Mr. Lickboot, Dr. Applecheeks, etc) scream "I'm evil" and shove it in your face. Even the animation on them looks blatantly obvious. You can just tell when they're bad just by looking at them, listening to them talk, their songs, and those stupid names. I find the plot to be so predictable also, considering how "careful" Hollywood has been in giving time and effort to being so faithful to the original characters. Of course they would throw in the "juicy" plot of Tom and Jerry being friends, a girl in trouble being helped by them, the multiple villains, making it a musical, and so on. I wouldn't mind as much except for the fact that Tom and Jerry (the characters) were made for both kids and adults to laugh their heads off at for screams, sound effects, Tom getting smashed, priceless facial expressions, Jerry being a jerk, and more. But this movie was clearly made for kids only, which I wouldn't mind as long as they weren't making a movie like this to just keep kids quiet (which is what this movie was). It sucks out the fun out for many loyal Tom and Jerry fans. This is one of many films where I've given up hope of Hollywood ever trying to make a good story or being faithful to something so beloved. It's like what happened in Batman and Robin and how unfaithful it was to the original Tim Burton story. If you'll pardon me, I will now go to see a Tom and Jerry episode (where they're nonverbal!).

The_Film_Cricket It is doubtful that there is bigger fan of Tom and Jerry then yours truly. It is also doubtful that there is a bigger detractor of their first (and God willing only) feature film effort. Tom and Jerry fit a 5 minute short because the formula is so unbelievably simple: Tom tries to eat Jerry and Jerry foils the attempt.Trying to expand on that relationship is fatal to the material and only one reason why 'Tom and Jerry: The Movie' doesn't work. After their home is destroyed, the pair discover that they can talk (!) and have to stick together as they set out on the road together.Giving them voices is also fatal because what made the pair so irresistible in the first place was that the only way they communicated with one another was through their altercations. T&J are supplied with rather annoying Sesame Street voices by Spin City's Richard Kind and the late Dana Hill.The violence is gone as well in the face of trying to appear more politically correct. If that isn't bad enough they are saddled with an orphaned girl who is being pursued by her evil aunt and they are given forgettable musical numbers that Disney would have gagged at. Try to imagine The Three Stooges without the comic violence and you have the idea.There isn't even a struggle in the movie for the pair to have to be nice to one another. One of the gems in their library of film shorts is one in which Tom and Jerry and the dog Spike sign a peace treaty and use every fiber of their being to keep from pounding each other to death. The movie hardly needs Tom and Jerry because the story has been done so many times that any two characters could have been inserted with the same results.If it ain't broke . . .
