Wow. Just wow. Truly awful. Who on earth thought shoving Tom and Jerry into the middle of a cheap animated remake of such a classic film was a good idea?
... View MoreSo first, I love the original film even if Roald Dhal didn't. Tom and Jerry too. I even seen the West End show in London, which wasn't great. Now step off the high horses keyboard warriors, this is a nice movie for kids. The best thing about this film is it brings the old songs from the original film with it. The animation was very good, at times yes you can get frustrated but then again, the movie is aimed at KIDS. If you have any children watch it with them, remember it's for them. You will like it even if you do hate it.
... View MoreI have seen nearly all of the other Tom and Jerry movies, and most of them were quite entertaining. This T&J crossover, however, is unneeded and will only be enjoyable for young children. The facial expressions of the human characters are horrid- they seldom match the tone of the scene or how they're speaking. There are a few contradictions within the movie, including how Slugworth (the 'villain') continues to act evil around Tom and Jerry, even as he didn't know that he had anything to do with Charlie.The animation and the classic Tom and Jerry slapstick comedy is something I do enjoy in the movie. But if the two beloved cartoon characters were removed from the movie, it would make little to no difference at all. I feel as if they should have changed it up a bit.
... View MoreI've seen a lot of people disappointed with this film based on comparison with Gene Wilder or the Tom and Jerry they saw when they were a kid.The kids that are going to see this movie are kids that really don't care who is Gene Wilder, and maybe they saw the same Tom and Jerry than you, but also Tom and Jerry kids, New Adventures of Tom and Jerry, Tom y Jerry Show, and other Tom and Jerry movies.So, regarding this movie for that audience:1. It's a good movie. It a copy from the 1971, so if you like your kids know and watch old movies, this is a good choice (Something that did't happened with "Tom and Jerry - Wizard of Oz" where I felt it was a complete different movie) 2. Tom and Jerry really don't affect the main storyline, but they appear constantly, so your kids are never bored with the main story (Something that happened on Tom and Jerry, Robin Hood, at least in my case) 3. The quality of animation it's not the best, but it's OK. It looks like a movie from 2000. 4. The boat trip on the tunnel of terror seems to me is still too frightening for kids
