Tom and Jerry - The Movie (1993)

disappointed Tom & Jerry fan...

Too much song & dance in this...I like the original cartoons so much better... This involves tons of other "characters" that aren't even interesting...Sorry to waste money on it... Stick with "Whiskers Away" if you like the REAL Tom & Jerry cartoons

Why does everyone hate this movie?

I just don't get why everyone hates this movie. I mean in my opinion, it rocks. It brings me back to when I was a 7 year old boy (Now I'm 10) as I would enjoy watching it in my basement. And if you think that it's bad, you don't deserve to be allowed to watch it anyway, you dumbass. June 3, 2007

Great Movie!

I love the short Tom & Jerry movies, but this movie is different because Tom & Jerry talk. My 3 year old, who loves these cartoons, was very surprised when she could put a voice to the characters. She watches it at least once every day! February 24, 2007

Different from the original but still entertaining

This movie has a totally different feel then the original Tom & Jerry cartoon. My son would still rather sit at the computer and watch the old ones. This movie is great for the long trips in the truck and of course Tom & Jerry are the heros! Not as good as some of our other movies but still entertaining for kids. January 12, 2007

Not That Bad - Cut It Some Slack.

This movie is really not all that bad....People really need to look upon the T&J Movie and the original classic cartoons as two different things....

I have all of the classic T&J's on Laserdisc (The versions that have not been re-edited for polical correctness reasons!). My 4 year old daughter and I watch them all of the time. Alot of people do not realise that the originals use to be played in movie theaters before a feature film and were made for adults. The originals were not geared towards kids.. But the Tom & Jerry Movie is.....And there is nothing wrong with that !

After viewing the movie with my daughter, I found myself appreciating the movie for what it is. A KIDS FLICK! Critics of the movie also have to realise that it is a MOVIE and not a short 6 or 7 minute cartoon. So you need a story. And a story geared for kids. You cannot fill an entire movie with a bunch of chases that end with a pie in the face. That pond has been fished empty with the Tom & Jerry characters......

As far as the movie itself, I thought that the animation was great, the music was great and the story was cute. Plus, on occasion there were glimpses of the classic T&J antics incorperated into the film. I actually liked how they worked into the movie Tom and Jerry speaking for the first time. They both spoke at the same time and both of them looked at each other and said "I didn't know you could talk". I thought that was rather funny....

There was also a scene in which Jerry frees a bunch of caged animals and Droopy slides out of one of the cages and says "Hello all you happy people". I thought that was a great touch for all of us older folks who watched both T&J and Droopy.....

The movie ended in true T&J fashion with Tom trying to get Jerry in a mouse trap but Jerry (as always) gets the last laugh when Toms tail winds up in the trap...

In closing, this is a cute movie for a new generation of kids. I highly recommend this movie for parents and their kids who want to watch something on a nice family Saturday evening. But for you college kids out there who like drinking a beer and watching the classic skits.....For get it....Try the Simpsons instead and remember that the Tom & Jerry Movie is a kids flick...And a darned good one....
