So, after i saw a 2.9 on IMDb for the New Tom and Jerry Feature length Movie,
I was honestly a bit upset at IMDb,
not the first time I did not agree with scores posted.......
but still just because it was Tom and Jerry I decided to watch the Same to judge for myself if it were really true....
Could two Cartoon Characters, So Beloved by the entire world, really have an outing that wasn't good enough to score even a measly 3/10......(P.s at the time of writing this review it was 2.9/10)
My Conclusion - Yes and No !!!! Let me explain...................
I was one of the batch of the kids who were still being introduced to our Beloved Characters from the original Chuck Jones and Fred Quimbly - also known as the Golden Age of Tom and Jerry. Since then, Tom, Jerry,Spike and rest of the family has been revamped more than a couple of times and none of them to my liking, Buut i always filed it under "I guess I am too old now to get what the New Age versions are trying to portray." ......!!!.....!!!...
While the new age versions received a clear bump in the animation budget, the other aspects of the shows were either just grossed over or just neglected all together for the sake of budget....
and herein lies the main problem in the very Steep Decline in the Love and appreciation of Our Favorite Cat And Mouse Duo.................. This movie kinda suffers from the same problems....
Although the animation and the look of Our Furry Friends, has considerably improved from the very glitchy type of animations in the previous RE-takes of the famous classic....
......................The problem lies in THE MUSIC................
It was only after recently watching my collection of The Original Tom and Jerry (Mind you I am 26 Now), where i realized that the magic and the love that all of us felt for the show, was due to a Phenomenally Beautiful Sound Track and utterly simplistic problems that Our Furry Friends and their Families Faced... every one, everywhere could instantly relate with them and The absolutely Gorgeous Animation is also a Key Aspect...........................
Now compare That to Tom and Jerry going to Meet Willy Wonka,
for starters u lost a major portion of your adults right here, but still if by any chance an adult were to sit and watch this movie with their kid, they will find it very, very difficult to be drawn into the world that so many of us spent so much time watching, experiencing, loving and emotionally attaching ourselves to the Original Show.......................................................
IN conclusion
i think the studio is yet to understand no matter how much they make our NEW Versions Furry Friends run into different story lines, get animation Upgrades, Make them Talk to Humanize them all
it Never Was and I Doubt ever will hold up to the Beauty in Simplicity and The Absolutely Emotionally Driving Soundtrack is What made the Original So close to our hearts, regardless of age and nationality...
My mom is 55 and she still enjoys the Originals...Nuff Said !!!!
Over all nothing what you do not expect happens in the 2017 Movie, As i said the Animation HAD this glitchy, hyper Active feel to it, but this time round is better done and slightly resembles the Original
Unfortunately the soundtrack still suffers from _
Lazy Cartoon-ishly Stupid base soundtrack
that most of our minds will find it VERY DIFFICULT to get invested in.......
I don't think even most KIDS, in today's day and age will enjoy something like this when U have Johnny Depp and HIS version floating around and the Original Tom and Jerry Shows so readily available !!!
