ARE THE TOM AND JERRY MOVIES SUCCESSFUL FULL
It must have been exciting at the time to see them in a full length movie, unfortunately, this is not what fans were expecting. The famous cat and mouse duo starred in 161 short animated films (produced by Hanna-Barbera/Fred Quimby, Gene Deitch, and Chuck Jones), won seven Academy Awards and appeared in movies with Gene Kelly and Esther Williams, they are as popular today as they ever were. But it wasn't at all great, in fact it was disappointing, I just wished it was more faithful to the show. Overall, sweet in places, with the occasional likable character, and not awful. Instead of the songs, I would've liked to have seen a more focused plot and some violence, so that it could do justice to the show that it took its inspiration from.
The writing wasn't particularly that inspiring, but the biggest disappointment for me was the lack of violence that made the cartoon show such a joy to watch. I didn't like the songs either, I found them rather unmelodious and forgettable. One is the disjointed plot, that has been done better before, and not only that, there is a tendency for it to become unfocused and clumsy. However, there are a number of things that make this film disappointing.
Tom and Jerry still have their likability, Robyn is a very charming character, and the animation is serviceable on the most part, but shoddy in other places. The characters are fairly likable, though there may be times when Aunt Figg might scare children. There is a good voice cast, that includes Charlotte Rae, Richard Kind, Dana Hill and Tony Jay. There are some redeeming qualities to Tom and Jerry: The Movie.
