Very best movie i ever watch
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
This movie is very good! I have 2 copies of it at home.The movie opens up with Tom and Jerry chasing each other and Tom's owner leaves him. Now homeless, he has to find a new home. He gets thrown out on the street, and meets a dog and flea, who teach Tom and Jerry to be friends. They get mugged, and Tom runs into some alley cats. Jerry saves Tom however, and they meet a girl named Robyn under a bridge.We then fast forward to Aunt Figg, the guardian, crying for Robyn, and the girl is brought back. She sends Robyn to her room, in the attic, cause her room was given to the fat dog. Tom and Jerry are separated from Robyn as they are sent to an animal-prison. They manage to escape and get the girl out. They lose each other at sea and Robyn ends up on an island with a carnival. Tom and Jerry end up elsewhere. Lickboot, the lawyer, finds out Robyn's dad is still alive, which Robyn wants, since her mom died young. Determined, they put a reward of a million bucks for the finding of Robyn. Captain Kiddie runs the carnival and sees the reward on a milk carton and traps her on a ferris wheel to get the money.Dr. Applecheek, the owner of the animal shop, is mad at Aunt Figg because Tom and Jerry were the cause of all the animals to escape, Figg disagrees and Dr. leaves. The henchmen kick him out, when he tells them they won't get any of the money, so he steals an ice cream truck to drive to the carnival. Tom and Jerry free Robyn and trap the henchmen when they arrive. But Applecheek leaves them there, as revenge for not letting him stay in the truck. Aunt Figg arrives and they all chase Robyn as she runs away.Captain Kiddie and Applecheek end the race when they hit each other on the bridge after the dog destroyed it. Lickboot, Figg, and dog head for the cabin where Tom and Jerry are headed and make it there before Tom and Jerry. Figg accidentally knocks a lamp and burns the house unintentionally, but Tom and Jerry push them onto the boat they were on earlier and they sail away. Robyn's dad comes and rescues them.They go back to their current house and Robyn gives Tom and Jerry a new house. But they start chasing after resuming their antics.The animation is wonderful, by the original directors of the movie, but takes a different approach on the characters, which is acceptable.10/10
Now how can you take one of the greatest cartoon teams of all time and almost ruin what makes them great?I know making them talk, these are two of the greatest silent film stars in history and you make them talk? Come on that is true injustice.While it may have try to target a new generation of fans for those of us who grew up watching the reruns on TV this is one of the biggest injustice ever done to a classic.The plot for the film is just ugh to say the least. The Animation in the film well some of it is good work but the rest is pretty much like watching a coloring book come to life.The music in the film is not even really convincing to sell the story.Even the story itself isn't all it crack up to be it just pretty much this film was made just to get some money and from what I learned it wasn't even a box office success.So pretty much stay away from this film if you love Tom and Jerry you will avoid this film.I give Tom and Jerry: The Movie a 2 out of 10
I was deeply disappointed as a kid, watching this movie in the theater. I really wanted something like the old 1940's Tom and Jerry animated series of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer short films by Hanna & Barbera. If not that, something like the Gene Deitch or Chuck Jones shorts from the 1960s. I was even alright if the movie was similar to 1990's Tom & Jerry kids with the violent tame down, as long as they were chasing after each other. It's not that hard of a plot. Yes, the cartoons were only 7 minutes long, but I can see an hour-long plot center on Tom's numerous attempts to capture Jerry and the mayhem and destruction that follows. Sadly, that isn't what we got! The movie is lacking slapstick comedy. The hilarious sound effects, the comedic timing, and all the destruction. It was lacking everything that made Tom & Jerry a worldwide success. Somebody was smoking some awful catnip when they came up with the Tom and Jerry: The Movie. Directed by Phil Roman, the movie repacked the duos from enemies to friends after a mishap that cause both of them to become homeless. With nowhere to turn, they find themselves in adventure, helping a young girl, Robyn Starling (Voiced by Anndi McAfee), reconnected with her long-lost father. Robyn's current legal guardian, Aunt Pristine Figg (Voiced by Charlotte Rae) with her sleazy lawyer, Lickboot (Voiced by Tony Jay) presumed that Robyn's father was killed in an avalanche while away in Tibet, wants the kid to inherent her brother's fortune, but young Robyn thinks otherwise, and go off to find him. The movie has this recycle runaway kid orphan plot; that was in better used in 1989's All Dogs Go to Heaven or 1986's Great Mouse Detective. It's brings nothing new to the table, and really does take most of the movie, away from Tom & Jerry. I guess, the movie was trying to do a theme that has to do with the emotional side of life and the feelings of abandonment people feel at one time or another, but it's sadly get lost in the story. Honestly, what was the dad doing so important that he would leave his kid, alone in the states? He looks like Indiana Jones, and they don't bother, showing his job. It might be more entertaining this movie. Instead of having a treasure-hunting adventure, the movie instead go all musical. Most of the songs here, were all pretty forgotten and lousy. Did we really need a song from the West Side Story jazz number alley cats? What do they care! They running the clock-time! They should care, because it such a filler scene that play little to no part to the main plot! It's awful! The movie has all, too many, one-dimensional villain songs. I can't stand the ice cream cart rapist, Dr. Applecheeks (Voiced by Henry Gibson) 'God's Little Creatures', song. Don't get me started on how bad, "Money is a beautiful word" is. These songs are so negative, it kills the film's mood. Then, there are songs sung by actors that should never sing like Rip Taylor as Captain Kiddie in the 'I've Done It All' sequence. Even the movie opening theme was lacking. Nobody is going to beat the classic theme song that Scott Bradley made. Why couldn't they keep that song? The only songs that was alright is 'I miss you' sung by Anndi McAfee and 'Friends to the end'. I was deeply disappointed with the soundtrack composed by Henry Mancini of 1963's Pink Panther fame. Another part that sucks is the voice acting. Tom & Jerry didn't need voice actors. They should stay silent like the most of their careers. I really didn't think Richard Kind match the voice of Tom, anyways. I always thought of Tom having a deeply voice, since most of the cartoons, where he did talk, were pretty deep. I really hate the new supporting characters that they put in the film, like Puggsy the dog (Voiced by Ed Gilbert). What-ever happen to Spike from the original cartoons!? He's a better establish character than Puggsy. Glad, at less, they didn't put the controversy character of Mammy Two Shoes. So no over racial stereotypes or blackface jokes, here. Even a cameo from Droopy Dog couldn't save this film, from sucking. It did bomb at the box office in 1992. Since, then there has been a number of Tom & Jerry movies such as 2002's Tom and Jerry: the Magic Ring, 2005's Tom and Jerry: Blast Off to Mars, and others. Overall: Tom & Jerry has been often spoof, homage, or copy in other works like Looney Toons, Simpsons, and other shows, because the show was so good. Sadly, this movie is one of those that sucks. Not worth watching it, unless, you're really bored or a huge Tom & Jerry fan in the first place. This movie felt like walking in kitty litter full of mouse traps! It's disgusting and it hurts to watch.
so the movie starts with unfunny slapstick humor, and as the movie goes on for the first ten minutes you are like: OK, not as funny as the original but it doesn't seem to get worse. and then it came: "i' tom""I' am Jerry" and thats when you yell WHAT! this movie hit me right in my childhood.as for the songs, there are way too many and they aren't that good as not only do they talk, but they sing. as for the plot, it has almost nothing to do with a cat and a mouse. the plot has something to do with a girl trying to find her father. yes, this movie is bad, really bad. the jokes are not funny, the slapstick is not funny.
