Faithful adaptation or corporate cash in? Answer: NEITHER!!
12 November 2012
Then what is this anomaly of a movie? Here's my theory; the studio wants some corporate cash in for Tom and Jerry not caring about how faithful, but the storyboard writers end up thinking "FORGET cash-ins they are boring, let's do what we WANT to do" and so they let their imaginations run as wildly as this 75 minute film would allow them. As a whole, the more modern retreads of the 50's classic cartoon has been hit or miss over the decades, some turning out to almost rival the classics, and some turning out abysmal, this is the most unique modernization I have seen out of any of them; but that also means this is the most "What-the-crap-did-I-just-watch?". This movie stars Tom and Jerry doing what they do best, chasing each other and breaking stuff, but this time they end up destroying the entire house, so they need to find a new home, and that is where they enter the race around the world for a huge mansion. And the story ends up so bizarre that all I can do is just smile. Who cares if this is faithful or not(well, it kind of is) it is one of the most entertaining modern attempts I have seen in a long while, which is a good thing.
