Amazon.com Too bad this theatrical paws you in from the first frame with clever characters, memorable music, and a pulled-together plot, because if you're a dyed-in-the-fur Tom and Jerry fan, your first inclination is to flee the set. Offending old-schoolers in a late-Bewitched new-Darren sense is the dialogue--not only do Tom and Jerry speak, they're talking to each other. Worse, the former combatants cultivate a camaraderie. Instead of clobbering each other with mallets, the cat and mouse duo dig in, together, to rescue a runaway. Returning Robyn to her dad requires outfoxing Aunt Figg, the girl's money-grubbing guardian, and a cadre of scheming animal and kid catchers. A little tail-twitching mousetrap action toward the end is the tender vittle tossed to the old crowd in what's otherwise a declawed but undeniably entertaining chase-a-thon. Put it on for kids 4 and up and help forge a kinder, gentler Tom and Jerry generation. --Tammy La Gorce

Great!! November 1, 2009 Toneria Mccoy (Baltimore,Md) My nieces and I love this movie. I loved it when I was younger and now I can get them to feel the same way
"You want to see this AGAIN?" October 22, 2009 Kathleen E. Miles (Imperial, MO USA) My 2 boys (4 & 6) will watch this movie over & over if I let them. I'm not sure why people think it's bad. Yes, Tom & Jerry talk in this movie, but my kids don't care, they just love the story & the songs (and there are some catchy kids songs). They do the usual fighting, but it gives a good message to kids at the end. I give it 5 stars, and recommend this to any child!
Very unfaithful July 11, 2009 Eric S. Kim (Southern California) There are many things wrong about Tom and Jerry: The Movie. First off, Tom, and Jerry are nothing like the classic cartoons (except in the very beginning. I mean, they talk, they sing and dance, and they become friends. Speaking of singing and dancing, these are some of the worst songs that I've ever heard (The only exception is Tony Jay's musical number alongside Charlotte Rae). Plus, the plot seems to focus more on human characters rather than Tom and Jerry themselves. Why? Why would we care for these people when we're supposed to care more for the mouse and cat? And why didn't the creators of this film follow the original treatment of the classic Chuck Jones shorts? This could have been a great film if it was really done right. Obviously, this is an insult to every Tom & Jerry fan that's both living or dead.
I would have graded this an F, but because of the fairly decent Jay/Rae song, I give it a D-.
Disapointed October 21, 2008 S. Carbone (CT, USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I grew up on Tom & Jerry and now my nephew loves the Saturday morning reruns. I came looking on Amazon to get some of the dvd's for him, I was so excited when I saw they have a movie. When we watched the movie we both found it quite creepy, it was nothing like the cartoon. We were looking forward to funny cat and mouse chases instead we got Tom and Jerry in a musical with songs I wouldn't condiser appropriate for young children.
Excelsior? October 2, 2008 Yosuta (arrowfeather, usa) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Seems like this film was produced with good intentions, but the result isn't very entertaining. Tom and Jerry lose their home, and after a few minutes of Tom chasing Jerry through the city, each realize the other can talk, and become friends. Then they start singing mediocre songs. The new "Friends 'til the End" team up to help a runaway girl reunite with her father and defend her against a mean aunt. What kept me from completely regretting paying the DVD rental price was the inclusion of two classic cartoon shorts, "Just Ducky" and "The Invisible Mouse."
