Not worth it.
Why? Let me tell you.
In every single remake of classic children’s cartoons into a modern world with modern animation have sucked, not one of them have stayed in the time period or have lived in the expectations of what we truely expect. More younger kids will enjoy movies like these but adults and older people will not. Watching the new Scooby-Doo movie made me lose my hopes on movies like these and i regret wasting my time watching this.
I would like to point out that Tom and Jerry was based in the 1960s not the late 2010s. It’s clear that the cartoon itself was made to be in the current time it was popular in so why ruin it with dumb music and dumb dances? For the whole movie, the music was disgusting and I truly wonder why anyone would find that catchy. It basically ruined the whole purpose of the film, instead of starting with some city pigeons singing they could of started with what the original cartoon started with. Another point is the dances and language spoken, I cannot even watch a single remix of an old cartoon without finding the renegade dance or that fort nite dance, for crying out loud people that stuff does’t make any sense in any movies like these it’s stupid in general. Same thing with the word “boomer.” Literally heard them say that in the trailer for the Boss Baby 2, as soon as I heard that I decided I probably won’t waste my time watching the movie.
The plot is barely about Tom and Jerry
The whole plot in the story is based in Kayla trying to keep a pointless job at the tacky hotel in New York, its barely even about Tom and Jerry in general. Literally in like everything they ever made about Tom and Jerry is in the end they learn to get along. When watching Tom and Jerry people expect it to be about just them, to show how they develop and which characters are against them.
Through the whole movie I saw no character development for either Tom or Jerry. When the movie ended it never gave us any depth as to what happens to Tom and Jerry after the wedding, do they stay friends? Do they stay at the hotel? Oh no, that means a sequel is possible. I swear if they make a sequel to this then I won’t even bother watching any future Tom and Jerry cartoons they make.
To anyone who read all of this, before showing your kids this disgusting cheap movie about Tom and Jerry, show them the 1992 version. The animation is still cartoonish and Tom and Jerry actually develop and they show us what happened to them in the end. Besides that, the 1992 movie actually includes some of our beloved classic characters that weren’t included in this movie. So please do not waste your time watching this disgusting movie watch the 1992 version instead.
