Tom and Jerry: The Movie is a brutal film with a poorly developed plot and a reasonable voice cast. It takes two well beloved characters who seemed like a sure fire success in having their own movie. However, it then ignores any and everything that made Tom and Jerry a success in the first place, having the characters talk and teaming up rather than being nemesis's, the first ten minutes of this film should have been the whole thing.
The film is jam packed with musical numbers, all of which are bland and poorly written. It did not seem like there was much thought put in to creating these songs, each one is uninspired and annoyingly catchy.
What frustrates me the most about this movie is that the whole thing would make perfect sense without Tom and Jerry, all of their dialogue and actions serve as no development to the plot of a young girl trying to escape from her evil aunt and find her father. I would not be surprised if this movie had been originally written without the cat and mouse in mind, and Warner Bros. just threw them in to make it a more marketable project.
I watched this movie cause I loved it as a child, it does not hold up at an older age. Uninspired in literally every sense, Tom and Jerry: The Movie will still probably be a lot of fun for children, but adults with childlike sensibilities like myself should stick to the original cartoons.
Tom and Jerry team up with a young girl to help her find her long lost father.
