Tom and Jerry: The Movie

I don't why everyone hates this movie. Sure, they might've ruined it because they talked, but that's the reason why I love it; it's different. At least it beats the crap out of those Direct to Videos I see every year.

My God, this movie literally destroyed Tom and Jerry for me.

#1. Although Tom and Jerry being able to speak wasn't much of a bad thing, I hate the fact that they sound nothing like I would imagine them to be. Tom's a bit close, on the other hand. IMO, Jerry should sound a little more intelligent and refined. I have to admit, however, that Dana Hill (also the voice for Max Goof) didn't really deserve to die. R.I.P.

#2. The film doesn't exactly focus on our dynamic duo, as the title is being shown. It more or less has to do with Robyn, the female protagonist who, like with a bunch of characters, has nothing to do with Tom and Jerry.

#3. Slapstick may be involved here, but it's very little and also, to some extent, not exactly funny in any way. The closest to slapstick humor you'll be getting throughout this entire film is during the beginning, Ferdinand (a fat dog on a skateboard who I assume escaped from the asylum), and the actual ending of the movie. Take a look at a few Tom and Jerry shorts and compare them to what the film has to offer, if you ever feel like it.

#4. Tony Jay as Lickboot the Lawyer is probably the only TRUE saving grace of this film... even if it doesn't say much. It's like he thinks he's every anime, video game, movie, and television company combined, these days; the only real statement being this: "We've GOT to have... MONEEEY!"
