FilmBuff1994 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.

TheVAFan Scooby-Doo, Inspector Gadget, The Flintstones, Fat Albert, Thunderbirds, Thomas & Friends.These are just some of the many beloved shows from our childhood that those greedy maniacs at Hollywood have butchered and turned them into soulless cinematic drivel of the highest order...Whenever it's being turned into bug eyed, dead looking CG maniacs that look more right at home in a local asylum, to completely ignoring everything what made the original so great in favour of making a quick buck, none of these poor poor shows were sacred.Yet out of all of these classic childhood shows, I think the entire population can agree that our dear cat and mouse team Tom & Jerry had it the worst.Literally some right winged idiot either at Miramax, Turner or Film Roman had the bright idea of breaking a golden rule in Animation and that rule was "Thou shall not make Tom & Jerry talk." Those maniacs, they went ahead and broke it. And what we got was the most painful and quite shocking 84 minutes in the history of animation.To see these two animated icons talk and become friends with each other should not be considered fun, it's heartbreaking to say the least.The song they sing "Friends To The End" is enough to make even the most avid Tom & Jerry fan cry in their sleep.But these fools decided to go the extra mile and make a film.... that isn't even focused on Tom & Jerry at all.Aunt Figg, Lickboot (with his memorable Money quote and for some odd reason I like), Captain Kiddie are some of the characters they meet... and quite frankly (besides Lickboot) none of these so called "characters" are likable in any sense of the word.And so off Tom & Jerry go to save a little girl (they even go the extra mile and rip off the Rescuers just to tick Uncle Walt of) and they sing a whole ton of crap songs, talk and talk and do a whole bunch of other things and I DON'T CARE, drinking bleach would be a far more enjoyable option than ever seeing something as joyless at this again.Forget The Smurfs, forget Rocky & Bullwinkle, forget Thunderbirds and forget even those crap Chipmunk films, this is the ultimate middle finger to a beloved cartoon...And it's not even a live action or CG film.Thank god no one ever dared to try do something like this again.PS: The fact that Joseph Barbera acts as "Creative Consultant" and the fact he was alright with seeing his beloved show get destroyed in front of his eyes kinda bugs me a bit...

gavin6942 Tom and Jerry must save a girl from her evil aunt.Most people think the film's biggest weakness is allowing the main characters to talk. And I have to agree that this was probably a misstep. For the first 15 minutes or so, I was impressed that the creators decided to make a full-length film with two leads who never speak. And then they dropped that. At least they got Richard Kind.Tom and Jerry, although around for a long time, have never been the most beloved of cartoons, and this movie is not terribly beloved by just about anyone. If someone were to say that it has been forgotten, they would have a serious point... I have very little interest in ever seeing it again.

andreaseklund so the movie starts with unfunny slapstick humor, and as the movie goes on for the first ten minutes you are like: OK, not as funny as the original but it doesn't seem to get worse. and then it came: "i' tom""I' am Jerry" and thats when you yell WHAT! this movie hit me right in my childhood.as for the songs, there are way too many and they aren't that good as not only do they talk, but they sing. as for the plot, it has almost nothing to do with a cat and a mouse. the plot has something to do with a girl trying to find her father. yes, this movie is bad, really bad. the jokes are not funny, the slapstick is not funny.
