Tom and Jerry The Movie

We all know who Tom and Jerry are. We know that they really don't talk much. But in this movie, they talk. Oh no?

It seems that this movie is the definition of "love it or hate it". Some love it for the nostalgia, while others hate it for "ruining" Tom and Jerry. As for me?

Well, while a more interesting movie could've been made, the one given to us is a cheesy musical with cheesy songs, cheesy characters, and cheesy voices. I don't really mind having Tom and Jerry talk (in fact, Tom actually talked on occasion in the shorts). The voice actors are annoying but tolerable (though, I could say MUCH less for their singing). There is really only one pretty good song in the whole movie, which turns out to be the Award Bait Song. Go figure. The animation is nice and colorful and the story, which is mainly use to give Tom and Jerry a REASON to talk, is about as cheesy as that of an archetypal stage musical.

It's not as bad as a lot of people say, but it's not all that great either.
