Reviews
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Tom and Jerry: The Movie might not be the best animated film of all time but it's better than most Tom and Jerry films this days. The animation is excellent and the storyline is sweet and pretty funny in general. I also love the whole plot with Robyn and the fact that both characters work together to save her make for an even more heart warming film also it was smart to have them talk this time around. Also nostalgia is a part of my love for the film since i remember growing up with the vhs so it's a fan favorite movie for me at least and honestly give it a shot and review it on your own and don't listen to the haters for once. (A+)
declankearns-24728 Released in 1992.I hated this film mostly because Tom and Jerry spoke.Every one knows that their not allowed to talk.Secondly,the characters are all unlikable,including Tom and Jerry.With clichéd villains who want to kill an innocent child for no reason.(It is never explained why the villains even want to kill her).The plot is just all over the place.First off,it becomes a musical,the our heroes talk and then they have to save a little girl.Lastly,the jokes fall flat,especially without all the slapstick.In conclusion,the film is one long middle finger to all Tom and Jerry fans.Just stay away from this sh*tty excuse for an animation film.
ironhorse_iv 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.
andreaseklund 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.
