Beautiful, moving film.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I don't care what anyone thinks of this movie, but I actually enjoyed it. It was really good to see that Tom and Jerry are able to talk, and finally work together which is unusual - I know! The story is good. I really like that little girl, and was supporting her all the way, and I liked the fact that Tom and Jerry was with her. Don't expect too much because this movie was good for what it was. You should just see it, and watch the story unfold. It was a good Tom and Jerry movie.

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.

I saw the Nostalgia Critic's review of this film many times and it's so funny how I managed to see it on the day he reviewed the Willy Wonka Tom and Jerry movie! Probably the only good thing about this film is the animation. It's still not great, it's just decent. It's very hard to make a movie based on something that's only seven minutes long. In fact, the first seven minutes of this movie weren't bad! That's why I keep saying that many bad films would have worked better as short films, especially how this one was literally based on a series of short films. I think Tom's voice is so annoying.Tom and Jerry suddenly having voices doesn't even have that much relevance in the story. They fall into this same cliché where they focus on a random human instead of Tom and Jerry. We get a fairly large cast of goofy and obnoxious characters whom for the most part aren't very important. I couldn't believe this film had six songs in it! It's weird because I'm honestly not the biggest Tom and Jerry fan out there. Don't get me wrong, I definitely like it. I think that by watching bad movies like this and looking at stuff by the Nostalgia Critic do I realize that it probably holds up better as an adult. *1/2

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.
