Critic Reviews

Vincent Canby, New York Times
Tom and Jerry have charm.
Hal Hinson, Washington Post
The whole movie appears to have been run through a homogenizer.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
A severely dull animated feature.

Tom and Jerry are so cute. I have never seen a cutest Mouse than Jerry. Its just a beautiful Movie. Specially they talk in the Movie. Wow. Well in many of Tom & Jerry Episodes they teamed up but at the end the good ole same thing. lol

Anyone who loved the original cartoons of Tom and Jerry, will think it's very strange at first to hear the two animals actually talking for once, but you get used to it watching this movie. It has song and dance numbers too, but the story is a drama/comedy with heart, and both kids and adults can enjoy it.

Instantly forgettable.

Can talk now can yer? Kept that fucking quiet. What next? Gonna reveal you're both female or something? Dissapointing as it is just slightly poor. A plot that tries to bring Tom and Jerry togetehr instead of them smacking three shades of shit out of each other. Not to mention… More
Can talk now can yer? Kept that fucking quiet. What next? Gonna reveal you're both female or something? Dissapointing as it is just slightly poor. A plot that tries to bring Tom and Jerry togetehr instead of them smacking three shades of shit out of each other. Not to mention songs which were twice as painful as any frying pan beating.

Quite possibly the biggest slap to any classic cartoon out there. The film has some decent animation but nothing very good that makes it worth a watch. The songs are horribly written and will never catch anyone's interest. The film's main plot focuses on a little girl so it's not really a "Tom and Jerry" movie as it is more of a movie with Tom and Jerry involved. There is also absolutely little to no slapstick here since Tom is Jerry's buddy in this film. Overall this film is mind numbing, it's horrible and the worst part is that Tom and Jerry talk. (worse yet is that their voice actors don't even fit them at all.)

Tom and Jerry was by far one of the greatest cartoon classics ever made. With amazing sound effects, those silent cartoon characters made me laugh throughout the rest of the episodes they were in. When I heard that Hollywood made a film about it that I've recently seen in the 1990s, my family got a DVD of it and I watched, betting that it was gonna be good. Boy was I wrong. After viewing it, I was so disgusted at how this movie ruined a once great cartoon classic by pointing a few things that were wrong. The story has nothing to do with Tom and Jerry, the characters were boring (I mean, Aunt Figg?! Dr. Applecheek?! Lickboot?! Is it me or did the writers were high when they've come up with that stuff?), and the songs were forgettable (except the pop songs in the ending credits) and this whole thing would have been better if Tom and Jerry didn't talk at all. The only thing that I kind of liked about this movie was the animation and voice acting. That's it. Tom and Jerry is, without a freaking doubt, one of the worst animated films I have ever seen. Avoid it at all costs like a plague unless you have kids. one out of five stars
