Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) The soon 70-year-old "Tom and Jerry in the Hollywood Bowl" is one of the rare cartoons where you read about the two world's most famous cat and mouse characters in the title already, so yes this is another MGM Hanna Barbera short film. And like some others with the duo involving Strauss and Tom at the piano, this is another piece of evidence that the music-focused T&J works are among their most known today. Here Tom is a conductor who tries to make sure Jerry won't disturb him while guiding the orchestra. I am not too fond of these because they really lack chase sequences and very funny interactions between the two protagonists. This is extremely subjective though, but I agree with the Academy who awarded several T&J works, but not this one we have here. It also did not really appeal to me and I would only recommend it to the very biggest fans of the characters here and those who love classical music too. A thumbs-down from me, I only liked the animation, but story- and comedy-wise, there are hundreds of superior works from the Golden Age of Animation.

TheLittleSongbird After seeing The Cat Concerto and loving it, I saw Tom and Jerry in the Hollywood Bowl. This time Tom conducts the Die Flerdermaus Overture by Johann Strauss II(who also wrote On the Beautiful Blue Danube and Tales from the Vienna Woods), and once again Jerry is attracted to the music. The concept is simple but very effective, and the animation is truly excellent. I don't really need to explain how good the music is here, other than to say it is outstanding, you should see the whole operetta, it is really something, really cheered me up after a hard day it did. The sight gags are really original and extremely funny, with the ending a definite standout. And Tom and Jerry are both stellar here, you feel sorry for Tom at the end though. Overall, hugely enjoyable, a must see, and I do think "The Waltz King" would be proud! 10/10 Bethany Cox

WhizkidF I'm a BIG classical music buff, and "Hollywood Bowl" is one of the best Tom and Jerry cartoons that entice people like me. The music of it was wonderful! If you classical music-illiterate folks have no inkling of who wrote the glorious music, this is the overture to a little opera named "The Bat" (Ha, ha; funny name for an operetta, huh?) by Johann Strauss the Younger.Tom and Jerry were conductors who conduct the orchestra of cats. Jerry wanted assistance to Tom, but he denies it. This is better than any other T & J cartoons! If you love classical music, watch this; it'll laugh your baton off!

Robert Reynolds Tom is conducting an orchestra when Jerry, complete with tuxedo and baton, comes out and wants to do some conducting also. Typical Tom and Jerry chaos erupts periodically amidst the classical music wafting around them. The blend of music and mayhem is inspiring! An excellent cartoon, for the most part. Cartoon Network runs this one reasonably often. Most recommended.
