Tom and Jerry The Movie is one of the wost animated films ever made, maybe tied with Cars 2. It probably seemed like a good idea, (much emphasis on 'seemed' there), however the makers seemed to have missed the point entirely of what Tom and Jerry is all about, I'll break it down for you, first off, they talk, if they ever talked to each other in the animated shorts, it would either be as a joke or to convey a scene or maybe sing, but here, they talk. It kills the movie, Chaplin's little tramp never talked, even after sound came into cinema, he was still admired by all. Remember, silence is golden, Tom and Jerry must NEVER talk. Also, the overall sentimentality kills the film, they team up with a young girl who is living with her evil aunt. The film could have been a knockabout romp from start to finish, but no!! They added a few uninteresting characters, a few slushy songs, (Henry Mancini's score is probably the best thing about it, as cues from it have appeared in film trailers.) One of the reasons for the sentimentality in the first place, is that Tom & Jerry make FRIENDS!! No, no, no!! The reason the original shorts were so funny and entertaining in the first place was because they fought all the time. Making them into friends goes against what the shorts were about!! This sort of departure doesn't work for two cartoon characters who were all about fighting, PLUS it happened before in 1975, when a TV Series called The Tom & Jerry Show, where they were friends, apparantly to comply with draconian American TV rules on violence, It's never been repeated since. Getting it released in America was a nightmare. It was supposed to have been released in the late summer of 1992 by Carolco through New Line Cinema. When the partnership between the studios disintegrated, the film fell between the cracks, even though it was released in Europe in late 92/early 93. After much frantic negotiations, it ended up at Miramax Films, just before Disney bought them, they didn't do much promotion and it sank without trace. Pity, as Chuck Jones worked on a feature length Tom and Jerry in the early 70's for MGM. It was abandoned as they couldn't get a suitable script together. Besides, MGM were in financial trouble and Jones' previous film for MGM, The Phantom Tollbooth, had flopped.

I can remember seeing Paul Gambaccini reviewing the film on GMTV, probably two days before this.
He didn't hold back.
Do they still make Nestle Lucky Charms I wonder. You should upload advert breaks 1970's & older of course.
