“We’ve *got* to have… m o n e y.” - Probably the producers who made this film exist. Also yes, I used to watch this film whenever it aired on Boomerang.
Who wants a solidly built old home when you can build 3 new prefabs? To be fair, new regulations make it hard too. My grandfather’s house was basically unsellable because of plumbing and electrical standards having changed so much.
But Tom and Jerry actually speaks sometimes in many of MGM Cartoon classics as well including The Lonesome Mouse, The Million Dollar Cat, The Zoot Cat, and some others for comedic effects.
@@CaptainCat101 Have you actually _seen_ The Lonesome Mouse? It is an integral part of the plot, I mean, he went over it in this video, you _have_ to know it's more than the one off gags like when Tom says: *"Don't. you. believe. it."* in a deep echoed voice.
I'm reminded of that one that Tom has a large inheritance under the stipulation he doesn't harm a mouse. One of the few cartoons where Tom (sort of) wins and breaks the silence to mention how he lost the fortune... BUT IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT, for he actually got Jerry good for once.
Tom and Jerry looking for a home, and facing many obstacles to just them finding one out in the city, makes for a solid plot on its own. But no, it couldn't be that simple.
I love this movie, it brings back so many memories. I remember being excited that Jerry & Tom finally were able to speak. I still don't see the problem with them talking and tbh I don't care.
Lest we forget when Tom and Jerry speak in full sentences for the first time, the whole world imploded. This is one of my guilty pleasures for sure. And this is coming from someone who hasn't actually seen The Rescuers.
Someone on Twitter pointed out how they believe Tom and Jerry were just so busy trying to harm each other that they never have the time to talk. Which is kinda funny imo
This movie feels like Tom & Jerry walked into a Don Bluth movie, like All Dogs Go To Heaven. The tonal shift can give you whiplash. It's really like they're in a different movie.
"Budgie The Little Helicopter" "Created by H.R.H. The Duchess of York" "The Sleepy Kid Company" What a bizarre combination of phrases, even without the narrator's "threat."
Additionally, most of dialogue in The Lonesome Mouse was actually voiced by William Hanna as Jerry (a co-creator of Tom and Jerry series also provided the voice behind Tom's Iconic screams) and Harry E. Lang as Jerry's consciousness and Tom Cat.
I had this on tape too! And I even bought it from a school fete, I loved it. Sold the tape in the end, wish I still had it been around 21 ish years since I last saw it I think it actually was green in colour. The song “Money is such a beautiful thing,” still pops into my head occasionally.
BTW, this film is actually currently owned by Warner Bros. Discovery nowadays since Turner was merged with Time Warner since 1996, and the current rights holder of Tom and Jerry franchise, as part of pre-May 1986 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios library.
@@christianpeligrinocagadas9781 And Irv Spence, one of the animators on The Movie, animated on the very earliest Tom and Jerry cartoons in the early 40s, and continued to animate on them throughout the 40s and 50s.
Here's the thing about this movie; a Tom and Jerry movie had been in development hell since the mid-70's, but they always ran into problems with finding a decent script, as it was a struggle to make a Tom and Jerry movie given the hallmarks of the franchise (characters who don't talk and slapstick) don't exactly lend themselves very well to a feature length adventure like say Mickey Mouse or the Looney Tunes do. At one point in the early 80's, MGM seriously considered making a live action Tom and Jerry movie with Chevy Chase and Dustin Hoffman playing the duo in costumes. Note that Tom and Jerry and the Magic Ring, the first direct to video movie, is just barely an hour long, and with many of the more recent direct to video movies being the two shoehorned into adventures in the land of Oz or with Sherlock Holmes or in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory and the recent live action movie also having a ton of subplots and live action characters, it's obvious that certain writers will struggle finding a decent length adventure for the pair.
I never saw this movie as a kid (I grew up with The Magic Ring) so looking at this now I can definitely see the development hell situation. They’re literally throwing ideas at the wall because how DO you adapt these guys to the big screen other than make them chase and maim each other for over an hour? Of course they’d have problems coming up with a story and make a voice reveal their big marketing selling point. But hey people like it anyway in spite of themselves because childhood and that’s enough for me lol
@@chocodoeeyesI mean there are ways to do it effectively. One movie I found online “The Thief and the Cobbler” actually managed to tell a nice story with the main characters (some of them anyway) not saying a single word.
Your review of this film takes me back to when I sometimes got this from my former local library, as well as other videos like those for the Winnie The Pooh, Peanuts, Hanna-Barbera (one being a Christmas Sing Along video and one being like DTV but with Hanna Barbera cartoon clips) and Mickey Mouse and Co. cartoons, Really Wild Animals, the Sonic The Hedgehog OVA (under the title of Sonic The Hedgehog The Movie) and Rock-A-Doodle (which I find weirder and more insane than the Tom And Jerry Movie).
This movie had three polish dubs for some reason. The first polish dub was in 1993 in cinemas and VHS, then TVP whear like "screwe this!" and they made thear own dub for TV. Then WB where also like "screwe this!" and they made a dvd dub, the third one is on Netflix. I personalny know the third one the best, tho the first one was the best.
Honestly I’m more amazed that your CN actually aired it regularly. 😮 The only time I saw it on CN in the states was the commercials for the vhs. Yeah it feels like they had a script and just tacked on Tom & Jerry for reasons. I’d forgotten how insane this film got. 😂
CN UK showed an awful lot of obscure films on Cartoon Theatre - it's how I ended up seeing things like Rover Dangerfield, The Pagemaster and Secret of NIMH 2. Very weird choice of films they had back then. 😄
lets just say that is so silly that offers great fun, not to mention being SUPERIOR to the 2021 WB hybrid one (despite its technical ambition with some improvement), while this one had some heart with nice animation by Phil Roman studios, great voice acting (including the ones that offically were unique and fitting for the duo), and entertaining musical score by Henry Mancini, makes sense?
The animation, musical score, and performances were all also done better in the 2021 film. Tom and Jerry are also much more unique as silent characters, unless you prefer the safe route and give them unwitting celebrity voices like this film.
@@thecriticalthinkeroutsidet4947 not exactly, while the animation was technically well made and achievably ambitious, it would have been convenient to also include hand drawn hand drawn animation for some moments while the other parts in cel shaded worked great for the crazy shots, since they look obvious that they were cel shaded in isomesubtle moments, the performances were cool in terms of casting choices for the live actors, especially many having fun for for their roles, although MOST OF THEM were actually mean spirited or unlikable such as Pena's character, while the voice acting was generally fine, some felt weird like Butch's case and even the autotune style singing voice of Tom (I think), and i can agree that the music suited well for the type of film it was set in New York and the Hotel, but there wasnt much of a highlight. Besides, Actually, the celeb actors that were in the 1993 film, unlike others, were ALL MAINLY VOICE ACTORS, even the duo werent that recognizable CELEBS exactly like whas been happening in Jetsons Movie or Scoob.
@scoutart1508 The production behind the 2021 film literally conceived an alternative of 2D animation and with reference by experienced 2D artists. Not cel shading. It's the exact style and feel of 2D animation achieved under the quicker production times of a CGI workflow, who also completely every tradition and realism of CGI. That's incredibly innovative and different than anything done prior. The 1992 movie's animation may be 2D, but it's still nowhere near as smooth and expressive as the cartoons release YEARS beforehand. So many casting choices for the 1992 film were baffling. People like Tony Jay were clearly cast because of how synonymous he is with Disney, and yes, Richard Kind and Dana Hill were famous in their release, and their natural voices don't suit the characters. Chloe Grace Moretz as the straight-man to Tom and Jerry alone was more entertaining to watch than characters in the 1992 film that are so one-note I don't know their names. The 2021 movie also has a phenomenal score that evokes the jazzy and brassiness of the cartoons, and Tom singing a jazz number is one of them. The 1992 movie's music are songs that poorly imitate Disney, and not even the score is anything to write home about. Henry Mancini has delivered TONS of innovative and legendary music, even the Peter Gunn theme. This nowhere near reflects his style and creativity.
@@thecriticalthinkeroutsidet4947 it is obvious that it was CEL SHADED ANIMATION, besides, even though I had fun with the 2021 film as part of the WB animation lineup and I dont necessarily despise it, it turned out to be the weakest of the list, especially for my taste in terms of the execution of its story that was left to be desired and especially most of its unnecessary humor. (By the way, havent we commented before about this on previous accounts, because for a moment I thought it was the host of the video who responded my comment)
@@scoutart1508 CGI animation is usually lifeless and has a sense of realism in its visuals and motion. Tom & Jerry (2021) was animated in CGI underneath, but every single technique derived exclusively from 2D animation was injected into the final look. MANY new techniques were introduced behind its production, even including 2D artists working in tandem with them to create software. In traditional animation, you even create key poses that are then in-betweened within frames. Even that was embraced. Director Tim Story called its animation "2D+", which is the exact style and feel of 2D animation achieved by a CGI workflow, as one thing CGI does have over 2D is the fact that it's faster to animate than drawing every cel. It's not a bad thing to take risks and bring in new, creative ideas. Especially a direction that is unlike anything a CGI is used to, while being more in the vein of traditional animation. The characters here even look and feel like characters from the world of Tom and Jerry. The 1992 movie's character designs look like a poor imitation of Disney models, and even then, the animation, while 2D, is still nowhere near the quality of the shorts released years beforehand.
nice review I liked the movie myself but I am a lover of the great Classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons ^_^ That First Independent intro was also used on one of Nick Faldo (Golf) videos. What made this breakthrough was when they talked. :)
There's this one of local tv channel i watch is when Tom missed Jerry after Robin house burned down,they cut to a flashback where Tom doing horrible things from the multiple original short.
Hello, This Is Jerry Speaking To You, We Worked Very Hard With Our First Movie, And Yes we fully talked in the whole movie Becuase we use a speech potion to use it for obvious reasons, the songs may not be original, but we try our best to do so. It may not be the best project we worked on, but is still fun nonetheless. Thanks for watching our movie 😊 ♥, and also Soshi found a cilp of "friends to the end" song, but we just hated each other because of our personalities. I don't know how he got it when we deleted the scene from it, but is still cool to find it tho 😅
The house in the Turner Pictures logo is Tara from Gone with the Wind. Yes, the company that produced this one also owned the rights to Gone with the Wind.
"Them talking is a cardinal sin!" I don't know, the reason it's supposed to be as such is that it feels like a "canon discontinuity" from the non-talking lineup... but they actually _address that_ in this movie. The idea that they only kept silent because they hated each other is funny! Having them speak in a normal cartoon though, _that_ feels cursed to me... especially since those voices don't really fit them like the movie ones do.
They wanted to something BIG for Tom and Jerry’s movie debut and giving them a voice reveal kinda makes sense from a marketing standpoint. We’ve always had a movie adaptation curse, Hollywood will change a lot for the current audience. This doesn’t bother me because I never really watched it tbh 😂
This video made me laugh to the point of tears, because I watched this film many times as a kid, without finding anything shocking or weird in it (well except possibly Applecheek's face when he gets into his new vehicle ). And today, looked at again with adult eyes, I realize that the film is, in fact, a total madness. I understood years later, well after falling in love with "Two for the Road", "Breakfast at Tiffany's" or "Victor Victoria" that the music was by Mancini, and that surely explains why all the Songs from the film have always stuck in my head. But I agree with the conclusion: it's funny, offbeat, and I'm OK with that too. Kiss from Paris !
It's an awful movie, that much I'll admit, but in some ways, it's actually a fun kind of bad. It shouldn't work but some parts really do. Sure, the plot is basically stolen from The Rescuers, but Robyn is likeable, the villains are entertaining and the songs can be catchy even if they really shouldn't be. It's a piece of garbage I have some affection for, even to the point of getting it on LASERDISC!!! If they won't put it out on Blu-Ray, I'll settle for the next best thing! 🤣
For Me, The casting is great in my opinion. Especially Richard Kind as Tom aka the actor for Bing Bong in IO, Dana Hill, Anndi McAfee aka The current voice for Cera in TLBT. Anyhow, The movie's fine for myself. Thomas and the Magic Railroad: Am I a joke to you?
Awful might be debatable. I'm one of few people that kinda likes the movie. Some of these songs I actually enjoy. Especially the music score by Henry Mancini. Update: You liked it too huh? Neat.
I once watched this film on Boomerang, and I’m glad my confusion in regards to the tone was justified. The plot reminds me of The Rescuers and the parallels are obvious. On the plus side, even if giving the duo voices is really pointless, Richard Kind is a great choice to voice Tom, and the film did give us the “We’ve got to have money” meme. Also I’m from the UK and I have heard of school fetes. I went to a lot of them, and did throw sponges at the teachers once or twice.
I can’t tell you how many times I watched this movie as a kid. Granted a lot of critics gave it a scathing review, I loved it. Plus, I adored Robyn. She was my favorite out of all of the characters in that film. PS I actually have Robyn Starling’s original cell artwork (from the studio) framed on my wall.
Me as a kid: Sees a good animated movie with an amazing soundtrack. “Wow I bet people love this movie as much as I do!” Movie Reviewers: “And yeah this movie bombed at the box office and I’m ashamed to say I kinda like it.” Me as an adult: WHYYY? HOOOOWWWW? Seriously though, this is what I hate about people on the internet who review media, wanting to have this aura of a refine taste to the point wacky fun and a good song perhaps extending the run time is seemingly a sin and qualifies for a “bad” movie. Not saying it’s flawless, but the amount of people who confuse this amount of quality to genuinely bad films is too many for my liking.
Ironically the only time I like “Tom and Jerry”. Funny how many familiar voices are in this movie; in fact, the voices of Pugsy and Robin’s dad were done by Ed Gilbert (Baloo from “Talespin”), Jerry is voiced by Dana Hall, I believe (Max from “Goof Troop”), and Richard Kind plays Tom (Molt from “A Bug’s Life” and Bing Bong from “Inside Out”.
This movie is definitely a ripoff of Disney's "The Rescuers". Think about it: two talking animals help an orphan girl run away from greedy guardians who keep her to make themselves rich.
I think the reason why Tom and Jerry talk in this movie so that we can understand their thoughts outloud, because if they were quiet in the movie, then it would be a weird experience watching the movie in a theater like it was a black and white movie.
Thanks for making this video. I also enjoyed this movie as a child and as a Tom and Jerry fan since childhood I actually think it's better than the 2021 live action hybrid movie the more I think about it. At least it's not boring. I also remember watching Tom and Jerry Kids when Cartoon Network aired reruns briefly in 2006 when i was in 5th grade
This movie was actually my first exposure to Tom & Jerry. To the point where when I first watched actual episodes of it later, I wondered why they weren't talking and where Robyn was. (I was a little kid when I first saw it so I never processed the significance of the scene where they express surprise at talking for the first time) But this movie will always have a special place in my heart and I wish the characters it introduced would at least get references/cameos sometimes.
As a kid I actually loved this movie lol. I used to play it over and over again on vhs. I would even act out some of the scenes. So much of this movie is ingrained in my head now that everytime you play a scene I'm like yep I remember that perfectly.
I loved this movie, too, as a kid, and I always watched it whenever it came on. I think a bit of why the movie was the way it was is because of the Disney Renaissance which was in full swing abd peaking critically when ‘Beauty and the Beast’ (1991) came out the year prior, and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture. Practically every other animated film during the 90s was copying the Disney formula with “I Want” protagonists, catchy musical numbers, and over the top villains, and this movie was no exception. To answer your question Lickboot’s seeming sudden concern for Robyn, it could simply be a case of what TV Tropes terms ‘Even Evil Has Standards’. Or, as the Fridge Logic page for this movie puts it: *“… Apart from his obvious Greed motivator, the reason behind this strange behavour may be way darker. As a lawyer, he knows exactly what crimes he and Figg would be charged with if Robyn got hurt. This can also explain why he looks so relaxed during his introduction scene: paying a police officer to find a child in a city district is easy. Paying a police officer to find a child in an isolated cabin in the wilderness is not. Especially when your client is responsible for burning it to the ground with the child inside.“*
Why do Dr Applecheek's goons pick up stray animals if the plan is to sell them back to their owners? I wonder if the purpose of Dr Applecheek's prison changed between drafts.
So THIS is how I find out that "We've got to have... _moneeyyyyy_" clip is from that old ass Tom & Jerry movie.. Anyone else remember seeing that one SFM vid where it's Spy saying it instead?
I watched the heck of this movie when I was a child. Tom & Jerry was my favorite cartoon and this movie was some sort of legend for me because they finally talked! 😂
Idk , call me crazy but I liked and still like this movie. Its so stupid you can fully discronect it from reality and enjoy the insanity of it Plus idk , I still think Robin was the best companion for Tom and Jerry, and I know they would have lived the high life I'm sad they never brough her back again
In Captain Kiddy's defence, as far as he's concerned Robin's just a lost kid that he's returning to her family - granted, in return for a very handsome reward, but still - I don't think he's on the same level as the other adults in this movie, who all absolutely know how awful they are being.
I don't know why everyone goes crazy when someone doesn't talk for a while. Mario was never a silent protagonist, he talked like nobody's business, he was a referee, announcing and counting in the ring, he wah and yahooed all over the place, he thanked you for playing his game. Except in Paper Mario, _specifically._ After _Paper Mario_ came out, everyone started to get weird, saying they could never make a Mario cartoon or movie, because it would be to strange to hear Mario talking in full sentences. Then similar things with Link, Tom, and Jerry, characters who can all scream, and have said words, so it's implied that they _can_ talk, they just _don't._ I was so happy that this movie was finally giving them _canon_ voices, so if it wasn't a "joke" each time, they wouldn't be completely different, and we'd finally get some consistency... but that was apparently too much to ask for. Then there's Wile Ethelbert Coyote. In Bugs Bunny cartoons, Wile E. talks in full sentences, using elevated diction, and nobody seems to care at all. I'm not sure why? Is it because it's only _half_ of a previously silent duo? Because the Road Runner has spoken English in comic books, does that complete... _something_ and make it blasphemous?
Wait, Wile E. Coyote talks? ROAD RUNNER talks?! When does this happen? More to the point, and reversing your own question, why is everyone obsessed with making characters like that talk? Shaun the Sheep proved it's possible to be the protagonist of not one, but TWO full-length films without ever uttering a word, so there's no excuse for that sort of destruction of character anymore.
@@PedroBenolielBonito Wile E. Coyote talks in "Operation: Rabbit," "To Hare Is Human," "Rabbit's Feat," and "Compressed Hare." The Road Runner has only spoken in comic books, a medium where you can't really use body language or other clues. Anyhow, I'd hardly call it "an obsession." Most people simply aren't mimes, if you're gonna do a silent cartoon, do a silent cartoon. Tom & Jerry's problem is that everyone, and I mean _everyone_ except for Tom and Jerry themselves talks. It's actually kind of distracting, because they aren't treated as mute in universe; everyone just accepts that they don't talk. There's no sign language, or literal signs pulled from hammerspace; instead, it's treated like a show where a voice actor died, had a scheduling issue, or got fired, or something. Then there's all this clunky dialogue around it, like in the Sonic Christmas special where it opens with him saying "Don't say another word, Sal." to imply that Sally had been talking his ears off, or something. Just because they were to lazy or cheap to hire Kath Soucie... -hey, it's Tuffy.-
I have mixed feeling about this movie but I can't hate this movie because it was part of my beloved childhood and so I did enjoy how they can talk. I can't believe this movie was much memorable to me than its latest movie. The peak of my favorite thing in this movie was actually listening to ending credit songs by Stephanie Mills.
Say what you want about this film but I really like the song Tom and Jerry sing with that one dog, that one song with the cat gang and of course, the one song that starts with the line "We got to have... Moneeeeey".
I ever liked Tom and Jerry originally but I find more enjoyment seeing them together and talking instead of just fighting each other over and over again. Film felt the story plot was rushed
Well, my school didn't have a "School Fate" but we did have a School Fair where kids like me at the time would get to play Carnival games and go into Bouncy Houses in the fields of the School, we even got Hot Dogs and Chips afterwards for Lunch, 🤤 those were some gooood hot dogs...
I remember seeing a trailer of this along side the budgie the helicopter trailer and Captain Planet trailer on my Tom and Jerry kids show vhs that I had as a kid (The vhs in question was Tom’s terror which is rare to find nowadays).
Something tells me the scene with Dr. Applecheeks creeping towards the camera was supposed to be him walking towards Robin, but one of the editors said they had to recontextualize it.
Oh boy, it's been the hot minute since I watched this one. I think it was like Middle School or elementary School at when I watched this one. Also, if I had a nickel for every time Tom and Jerry were side characters in their own movie. I have no idea how much I would have but I know it will be quite a bit
For as long as I could remember watching television, I've always been a Tom and Jerry fanatic. But this movie might be my earliest memory of being disappointed. In fact, for a while I tried to convince myself to like it; even though I realised I really didn't. My problem with this movie is not that Tom and Jerry speak, I actually don't think it's a bad idea for them to put aside their differences to fight a bigger foe. My problem is that the cat & mouse duo get upstaged in their own movie. I mean it is without its good qualities, as the villains are so meme worthy at this point. Also, I think Lickboot started to become concerned for Robin's safety, because he feared the plan wouldn't work otherwise. But still, it's this movie that showed me that hype can be a trap, some things just don't live to that. And that Tom and Jerry have always had their highs and lows. I look forward to what mayhem they'll get up to next (for better or for worse).
Oh my gosh!! I remember I had this movie on VHS back in the day when I was a very little girl. Unfortunately I broke it, or was it the VHS player?! I don't remember because it was back in the late 90's.
I was there for this in real time, as part of the target demographic (at the ripe old age of eight going on nine), and already a fan of the original shorts. I remember being HYPED. Then the movie starts and it's a good old-fashioned classic chase scene, and I am laughing my pre-teen butt off, thinking this is exactly what I want. And then... ...wait, why are they talking? ...wait, why are they *friends* now? NNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!! Still one of the biggest disappointments of my youth, right up there with Turtles III and Home Alone 2.
I remember watching this film once when i was younger It was on vhs at blockbuster and as a tom and jerry fan my family rented it I dont remember much about it other than tom and jerry talked I've heard the film was just a discount disney film with tom and jerry slapped on for some reason (similat to felix the cat the movie (which i also remember seeing but forgotten its existence) even sonic satam can't escape this trap) Then again, it can be argued that tom and jerry is a franchise that wouldnt work as a film I may want to check it out again but i do have my reservations since i'm not sure if tom and jerry could work as a film
I unironically enjoyed the movie as a kid. It does still parallel Scooby Doo gang be tossed in with random things like KISS and WWE, just to a less extreme for the story being original and obviously based on something in real life. Although, it does feel like the movie's story is based on something. I have no idea what, though.
Since the day I first watched this film, I’ve had the “We’re Friends to the End” song living in my head rent free.
This is all your fault, Puggsy.
I not surprised that song it used million of times, really 😅
I can relate. That's been practically squatting in my house for the last 24 years. Thanks, Cartoon Network!!
“We’ve *got* to have… m o n e y.”

Just realised this movie is The Rescuers but shite.
"Who buys a perfectly good house just to demolish it?"

To be fair, new regulations make it hard too. My grandfather’s house was basically unsellable because of plumbing and electrical standards having changed so much.
This feels like a movie that was already being made and they decided to throw Tom and Jerry into it. It has that all dogs go to heaven vibe
But Tom and Jerry actually speaks sometimes in many of MGM Cartoon classics as well including The Lonesome Mouse, The Million Dollar Cat, The Zoot Cat, and some others for comedic effects.
Those are just for comedy, they don't talk throughout the entire things and don't sideline the violence
@@CaptainCat101 Have you actually _seen_ The Lonesome Mouse? It is an integral part of the plot, I mean, he went over it in this video, you _have_ to know it's more than the one off gags like when Tom says: *"Don't. you. believe. it."* in a deep echoed voice.
Exceptions to the rule.
I'm reminded of that one that Tom has a large inheritance under the stipulation he doesn't harm a mouse.
One of the few cartoons where Tom (sort of) wins and breaks the silence to mention how he lost the fortune... BUT IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT, for he actually got Jerry good for once.
Tom and Jerry looking for a home, and facing many obstacles to just them finding one out in the city, makes for a solid plot on its own. But no, it couldn't be that simple.
Sure. Throw in some villains, some time limit, some action scenes and you'd have a great T&J movie.
I love this movie, it brings back so many memories. I remember being excited that Jerry & Tom finally were able to speak. I still don't see the problem with them talking and tbh I don't care.
I think the cop, even though he was doing his job finding Robin, was the only nice adult in the movie, if only he knew what was going on
Lest we forget when Tom and Jerry speak in full sentences for the first time, the whole world imploded. This is one of my guilty pleasures for sure. And this is coming from someone who hasn't actually seen The Rescuers.
This movie is also one of my guilty pleasures coming from someone who has seen the rescuers
I'm _pretty_ sure the world didn't implode on May 22, 1943... but what does it have to do with The Rescuers?
Even tho I knew they talk before, I seen them mostly as gags/jokes.
4 year old me would wake up at 6am in the morning and put it on the VHS
Someone on Twitter pointed out how they believe Tom and Jerry were just so busy trying to harm each other that they never have the time to talk. Which is kinda funny imo
This movie feels like Tom & Jerry walked into a Don Bluth movie, like All Dogs Go To Heaven. The tonal shift can give you whiplash. It's really like they're in a different movie.
Correction: All Dogs Go To Heaven 2. The crappy one.
The reason Aunt Figg reminds you of Ursula, is because that is literally Pat Carroll, the original voice actor for Ursula.

What a bizarre combination of phrases, even without the narrator's "threat."
Additionally, most of dialogue in The Lonesome Mouse was actually voiced by William Hanna as Jerry (a co-creator of Tom and Jerry series also provided the voice behind Tom's Iconic screams) and Harry E. Lang as Jerry's consciousness and Tom Cat.

Here's the thing about this movie; a Tom and Jerry movie had been in development hell since the mid-70's, but they always ran into problems with finding a decent script, as it was a struggle to make a Tom and Jerry movie given the hallmarks of the franchise (characters who don't talk and slapstick) don't exactly lend themselves very well to a feature length adventure like say Mickey Mouse or the Looney Tunes do. At one point in the early 80's, MGM seriously considered making a live action Tom and Jerry movie with Chevy Chase and Dustin Hoffman playing the duo in costumes. Note that Tom and Jerry and the Magic Ring, the first direct to video movie, is just barely an hour long, and with many of the more recent direct to video movies being the two shoehorned into adventures in the land of Oz or with Sherlock Holmes or in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory and the recent live action movie also having a ton of subplots and live action characters, it's obvious that certain writers will struggle finding a decent length adventure for the pair.
I never saw this movie as a kid (I grew up with The Magic Ring) so looking at this now I can definitely see the development hell situation. They’re literally throwing ideas at the wall because how DO you adapt these guys to the big screen other than make them chase and maim each other for over an hour? Of course they’d have problems coming up with a story and make a voice reveal their big marketing selling point. But hey people like it anyway in spite of themselves because childhood and that’s enough for me lol
@@chocodoeeyesI mean there are ways to do it effectively. One movie I found online “The Thief and the Cobbler” actually managed to tell a nice story with the main characters (some of them anyway) not saying a single word.
I have a soft spot for this mess, this movie was half of my childhood
12:08 - Honestly, this scene never gets old. 🤣🤣
The actor who voiced Lickboot (sp?) the lawyer also voiced Judge Claude Frollo in Hunchback of Notre Dame 😊
The late Tony Jay
He was also Megabyte on Reboot. Great voice actor.
Your review of this film takes me back to when I sometimes got this from my former local library, as well as other videos like those for the Winnie The Pooh, Peanuts, Hanna-Barbera (one being a Christmas Sing Along video and one being like DTV but with Hanna Barbera cartoon clips) and Mickey Mouse and Co. cartoons, Really Wild Animals, the Sonic The Hedgehog OVA (under the title of Sonic The Hedgehog The Movie) and Rock-A-Doodle (which I find weirder and more insane than the Tom And Jerry Movie).
This movie had three polish dubs for some reason. The first polish dub was in 1993 in cinemas and VHS, then TVP whear like "screwe this!" and they made thear own dub for TV. Then WB where also like "screwe this!" and they made a dvd dub, the third one is on Netflix. I personalny know the third one the best, tho the first one was the best.
Honestly I’m more amazed that your CN actually aired it regularly. 😮
The only time I saw it on CN in the states was the commercials for the vhs.
Yeah it feels like they had a script and just tacked on Tom & Jerry for reasons. I’d forgotten how insane this film got. 😂
CN UK showed an awful lot of obscure films on Cartoon Theatre - it's how I ended up seeing things like Rover Dangerfield, The Pagemaster and Secret of NIMH 2. Very weird choice of films they had back then. 😄
Have it on vhs. Can't remember ut ever been shown in my country on cN
@@BacktothePastthat’s a smorgasbord of forgettable 90’s slop. I had the VHS for Pagemaster.
Also, I never understood that "same show but they are kids this time" trend that was going on at the time.
lets just say that is so silly that offers great fun, not to mention being SUPERIOR to the 2021 WB hybrid one (despite its technical ambition with some improvement), while this one had some heart with nice animation by Phil Roman studios, great voice acting (including the ones that offically were unique and fitting for the duo), and entertaining musical score by Henry Mancini, makes sense?
The animation, musical score, and performances were all also done better in the 2021 film.
Tom and Jerry are also much more unique as silent characters, unless you prefer the safe route and give them unwitting celebrity voices like this film.
@@thecriticalthinkeroutsidet4947 not exactly, while the animation was technically well made and achievably ambitious, it would have been convenient to also include hand drawn hand drawn animation for some moments while the other parts in cel shaded worked great for the crazy shots, since they look obvious that they were cel shaded in isomesubtle moments, the performances were cool in terms of casting choices for the live actors, especially many having fun for for their roles, although MOST OF THEM were actually mean spirited or unlikable such as Pena's character, while the voice acting was generally fine, some felt weird like Butch's case and even the autotune style singing voice of Tom (I think), and i can agree that the music suited well for the type of film it was set in New York and the Hotel, but there wasnt much of a highlight. Besides, Actually, the celeb actors that were in the 1993 film, unlike others, were ALL MAINLY VOICE ACTORS, even the duo werent that recognizable CELEBS exactly like whas been happening in Jetsons Movie or Scoob.
@scoutart1508 The production behind the 2021 film literally conceived an alternative of 2D animation and with reference by experienced 2D artists. Not cel shading. It's the exact style and feel of 2D animation achieved under the quicker production times of a CGI workflow, who also completely every tradition and realism of CGI. That's incredibly innovative and different than anything done prior.
The 1992 movie's animation may be 2D, but it's still nowhere near as smooth and expressive as the cartoons release YEARS beforehand.
So many casting choices for the 1992 film were baffling. People like Tony Jay were clearly cast because of how synonymous he is with Disney, and yes, Richard Kind and Dana Hill were famous in their release, and their natural voices don't suit the characters. Chloe Grace Moretz as the straight-man to Tom and Jerry alone was more entertaining to watch than characters in the 1992 film that are so one-note I don't know their names.
The 2021 movie also has a phenomenal score that evokes the jazzy and brassiness of the cartoons, and Tom singing a jazz number is one of them. The 1992 movie's music are songs that poorly imitate Disney, and not even the score is anything to write home about.
Henry Mancini has delivered TONS of innovative and legendary music, even the Peter Gunn theme. This nowhere near reflects his style and creativity.
@@thecriticalthinkeroutsidet4947 it is obvious that it was CEL SHADED ANIMATION, besides, even though I had fun with the 2021 film as part of the WB animation lineup and I dont necessarily despise it, it turned out to be the weakest of the list, especially for my taste in terms of the execution of its story that was left to be desired and especially most of its unnecessary humor. (By the way, havent we commented before about this on previous accounts, because for a moment I thought it was the host of the video who responded my comment)
@@scoutart1508 CGI animation is usually lifeless and has a sense of realism in its visuals and motion.
Tom & Jerry (2021) was animated in CGI underneath, but every single technique derived exclusively from 2D animation was injected into the final look. MANY new techniques were introduced behind its production, even including 2D artists working in tandem with them to create software.
In traditional animation, you even create key poses that are then in-betweened within frames. Even that was embraced.
Director Tim Story called its animation "2D+", which is the exact style and feel of 2D animation achieved by a CGI workflow, as one thing CGI does have over 2D is the fact that it's faster to animate than drawing every cel.
It's not a bad thing to take risks and bring in new, creative ideas. Especially a direction that is unlike anything a CGI is used to, while being more in the vein of traditional animation.
The characters here even look and feel like characters from the world of Tom and Jerry. The 1992 movie's character designs look like a poor imitation of Disney models, and even then, the animation, while 2D, is still nowhere near the quality of the shorts released years beforehand.
nice review I liked the movie myself but I am a lover of the great Classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons ^_^ That First Independent intro was also used on one of Nick Faldo (Golf) videos. What made this breakthrough was when they talked. :)
Was hoping for more behind the scenes and production history on how this film was made.
There's this one of local tv channel i watch is when Tom missed Jerry after Robin house burned down,they cut to a flashback where Tom doing horrible things from the multiple original short.
Hello, This Is Jerry Speaking To You, We Worked Very Hard With Our First Movie, And Yes we fully talked in the whole movie Becuase we use a speech potion to use it for obvious reasons, the songs may not be original, but we try our best to do so. It may not be the best project we worked on, but is still fun nonetheless. Thanks for watching our movie 😊 ♥, and also Soshi found a cilp of "friends to the end" song, but we just hated each other because of our personalities. I don't know how he got it when we deleted the scene from it, but is still cool to find it tho 😅
... well obviously!
I regularly get the Tom & Jerry Kids theme stuck in my head still along with Coffee & Cream, boy what a team! I can't believe THIS is where it's from!
The house in the Turner Pictures logo is Tara from Gone with the Wind. Yes, the company that produced this one also owned the rights to Gone with the Wind.
"Them talking is a cardinal sin!"
I don't know, the reason it's supposed to be as such is that it feels like a "canon discontinuity" from the non-talking lineup... but they actually _address that_ in this movie. The idea that they only kept silent because they hated each other is funny!
Having them speak in a normal cartoon though, _that_ feels cursed to me... especially since those voices don't really fit them like the movie ones do.
They wanted to something BIG for Tom and Jerry’s movie debut and giving them a voice reveal kinda makes sense from a marketing standpoint. We’ve always had a movie adaptation curse, Hollywood will change a lot for the current audience. This doesn’t bother me because I never really watched it tbh 😂
It’s wild how many audio cues I remember in this movie despite the fact I haven’t seen it in over 15 years
This video made me laugh to the point of tears, because I watched this film many times as a kid, without finding anything shocking or weird in it (well except possibly Applecheek's face when he gets into his new vehicle ). And today, looked at again with adult eyes, I realize that the film is, in fact, a total madness. I understood years later, well after falling in love with "Two for the Road", "Breakfast at Tiffany's" or "Victor Victoria" that the music was by Mancini, and that surely explains why all the Songs from the film have always stuck in my head. But I agree with the conclusion: it's funny, offbeat, and I'm OK with that too. Kiss from Paris !
11:49 Honestly she reminds me more of Madame Medusa from Rescuers due to her loudness
I mean, the whole thing's just the Rescuers, isn't it?
12:08 we've got to have 💰
That's why this movie exists.
It's one of the Legendary lines of the movie
It's an awful movie, that much I'll admit, but in some ways, it's actually a fun kind of bad. It shouldn't work but some parts really do. Sure, the plot is basically stolen from The Rescuers, but Robyn is likeable, the villains are entertaining and the songs can be catchy even if they really shouldn't be. It's a piece of garbage I have some affection for, even to the point of getting it on LASERDISC!!! If they won't put it out on Blu-Ray, I'll settle for the next best thing! 🤣
I mean.....I enjoy this movie as a kid, but now as adult.....huh 😔😒
@@shanta824 To be fair, I think most of us did 🤣
For Me, The casting is great in my opinion. Especially Richard Kind as Tom aka the actor for Bing Bong in IO, Dana Hill, Anndi McAfee aka The current voice for Cera in TLBT. Anyhow, The movie's fine for myself.
Thomas and the Magic Railroad: Am I a joke to you?
So…would this be Freddy Got Fingered before Freddy Got Fingered?
Awful might be debatable. I'm one of few people that kinda likes the movie. Some of these songs I actually enjoy. Especially the music score by Henry Mancini.
Update: You liked it too huh? Neat.
I once watched this film on Boomerang, and I’m glad my confusion in regards to the tone was justified. The plot reminds me of The Rescuers and the parallels are obvious. On the plus side, even if giving the duo voices is really pointless, Richard Kind is a great choice to voice Tom, and the film did give us the “We’ve got to have money” meme.
Also I’m from the UK and I have heard of school fetes. I went to a lot of them, and did throw sponges at the teachers once or twice.
Omg you r so right how the movie is a loop, Robin grows up as the blonde lady that abandons them
20:21 to covince her that they actually care for her (even if they don't)
I can’t tell you how many times I watched this movie as a kid. Granted a lot of critics gave it a scathing review, I loved it. Plus, I adored Robyn. She was my favorite out of all of the characters in that film.
PS I actually have Robyn Starling’s original cell artwork (from the studio) framed on my wall.
Me as a kid: Sees a good animated movie with an amazing soundtrack. “Wow I bet people love this movie as much as I do!”
Movie Reviewers: “And yeah this movie bombed at the box office and I’m ashamed to say I kinda like it.”
Me as an adult: WHYYY? HOOOOWWWW? Seriously though, this is what I hate about people on the internet who review media, wanting to have this aura of a refine taste to the point wacky fun and a good song perhaps extending the run time is seemingly a sin and qualifies for a “bad” movie. Not saying it’s flawless, but the amount of people who confuse this amount of quality to genuinely bad films is too many for my liking.
I don't mind Tom and Jerry talking as long as the dialogue and voices are well done.
This movie i used to watch a lot when I was a child times were simpler back then
Ironically the only time I like “Tom and Jerry”. Funny how many familiar voices are in this movie; in fact, the voices of Pugsy and Robin’s dad were done by Ed Gilbert (Baloo from “Talespin”), Jerry is voiced by Dana Hall, I believe (Max from “Goof Troop”), and Richard Kind plays Tom (Molt from “A Bug’s Life” and Bing Bong from “Inside Out”.
This movie is definitely a ripoff of Disney's "The Rescuers". Think about it: two talking animals help an orphan girl run away from greedy guardians who keep her to make themselves rich.
Tom and Jerry did actually did talk in a few episodes. It was actually rare.
I think the reason why Tom and Jerry talk in this movie so that we can understand their thoughts outloud, because if they were quiet in the movie, then it would be a weird experience watching the movie in a theater like it was a black and white movie.
Thanks for making this video. I also enjoyed this movie as a child and as a Tom and Jerry fan since childhood I actually think it's better than the 2021 live action hybrid movie the more I think about it. At least it's not boring. I also remember watching Tom and Jerry Kids when Cartoon Network aired reruns briefly in 2006 when i was in 5th grade
How is the 2021 movie boring?
Even the visuals of the 2021 film were much more interesting than the 1992 film.

12:08 the iconic meme scene in VHS quality
After managing to find a copy of the movie I think it’s definitely an acquired taste. Still, not the worst way to spend an hour.😊
11:42
Fun fact, in the Finnish dub of both movies Aunt Figg and Ursula share the same voice actor. Perfect casting ^^
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the mind f**k."
You think a green VHS is weird? My Tom and Jerry Kids VHS was pink.
This movie was actually my first exposure to Tom & Jerry. To the point where when I first watched actual episodes of it later, I wondered why they weren't talking and where Robyn was.
(I was a little kid when I first saw it so I never processed the significance of the scene where they express surprise at talking for the first time)
But this movie will always have a special place in my heart and I wish the characters it introduced would at least get references/cameos sometimes.
This was my favorite movie growing up. Still is imo
05:03 It's Ted Turner's house, specifically one of his mansions in Georgia.
As a kid I actually loved this movie lol. I used to play it over and over again on vhs. I would even act out some of the scenes. So much of this movie is ingrained in my head now that everytime you play a scene I'm like yep I remember that perfectly.
I loved this movie, too, as a kid, and I always watched it whenever it came on.
I think a bit of why the movie was the way it was is because of the Disney Renaissance which was in full swing abd peaking critically when ‘Beauty and the Beast’ (1991) came out the year prior, and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture. Practically every other animated film during the 90s was copying the Disney formula with “I Want” protagonists, catchy musical numbers, and over the top villains, and this movie was no exception.
To answer your question Lickboot’s seeming sudden concern for Robyn, it could simply be a case of what TV Tropes terms ‘Even Evil Has Standards’. Or, as the Fridge Logic page for this movie puts it:
*“… Apart from his obvious Greed motivator, the reason behind this strange behavour may be way darker. As a lawyer, he knows exactly what crimes he and Figg would be charged with if Robyn got hurt. This can also explain why he looks so relaxed during his introduction scene: paying a police officer to find a child in a city district is easy. Paying a police officer to find a child in an isolated cabin in the wilderness is not. Especially when your client is responsible for burning it to the ground with the child inside.“*
This, Felix the cat and the We're back! A dinosaur story. Are such fever dream movies
Why do Dr Applecheek's goons pick up stray animals if the plan is to sell them back to their owners? I wonder if the purpose of Dr Applecheek's prison changed between drafts.
So THIS is how I find out that "We've got to have... _moneeyyyyy_" clip is from that old ass Tom & Jerry movie.. Anyone else remember seeing that one SFM vid where it's Spy saying it instead?
Oh we had school feats, except we called them the Fall Festival back when I was in grade school
I watched the heck of this movie when I was a child. Tom & Jerry was my favorite cartoon and this movie was some sort of legend for me because they finally talked! 😂
“Psycho” theme @ 0:52.
The crazy amount of saxophones in 80s and 90s cartoon themes has permanently made me feel oddly anxious when I hear that 90s jazzy style.
Idk , call me crazy but I liked and still like this movie. Its so stupid you can fully discronect it from reality and enjoy the insanity of it
Plus idk , I still think Robin was the best companion for Tom and Jerry, and I know they would have lived the high life
I'm sad they never brough her back again
In Captain Kiddy's defence, as far as he's concerned Robin's just a lost kid that he's returning to her family - granted, in return for a very handsome reward, but still - I don't think he's on the same level as the other adults in this movie, who all absolutely know how awful they are being.
I don't know why everyone goes crazy when someone doesn't talk for a while. Mario was never a silent protagonist, he talked like nobody's business, he was a referee, announcing and counting in the ring, he wah and yahooed all over the place, he thanked you for playing his game. Except in Paper Mario, _specifically._ After _Paper Mario_ came out, everyone started to get weird, saying they could never make a Mario cartoon or movie, because it would be to strange to hear Mario talking in full sentences. Then similar things with Link, Tom, and Jerry, characters who can all scream, and have said words, so it's implied that they _can_ talk, they just _don't._ I was so happy that this movie was finally giving them _canon_ voices, so if it wasn't a "joke" each time, they wouldn't be completely different, and we'd finally get some consistency... but that was apparently too much to ask for.
Then there's Wile Ethelbert Coyote. In Bugs Bunny cartoons, Wile E. talks in full sentences, using elevated diction, and nobody seems to care at all. I'm not sure why? Is it because it's only _half_ of a previously silent duo? Because the Road Runner has spoken English in comic books, does that complete... _something_ and make it blasphemous?
Wait, Wile E. Coyote talks? ROAD RUNNER talks?! When does this happen?
More to the point, and reversing your own question, why is everyone obsessed with making characters like that talk? Shaun the Sheep proved it's possible to be the protagonist of not one, but TWO full-length films without ever uttering a word, so there's no excuse for that sort of destruction of character anymore.
@@PedroBenolielBonito Wile E. Coyote talks in "Operation: Rabbit," "To Hare Is Human," "Rabbit's Feat," and "Compressed Hare." The Road Runner has only spoken in comic books, a medium where you can't really use body language or other clues.
Anyhow, I'd hardly call it "an obsession." Most people simply aren't mimes, if you're gonna do a silent cartoon, do a silent cartoon. Tom & Jerry's problem is that everyone, and I mean _everyone_ except for Tom and Jerry themselves talks. It's actually kind of distracting, because they aren't treated as mute in universe; everyone just accepts that they don't talk. There's no sign language, or literal signs pulled from hammerspace; instead, it's treated like a show where a voice actor died, had a scheduling issue, or got fired, or something. Then there's all this clunky dialogue around it, like in the Sonic Christmas special where it opens with him saying "Don't say another word, Sal." to imply that Sally had been talking his ears off, or something. Just because they were to lazy or cheap to hire Kath Soucie... -hey, it's Tuffy.-
I love how they implied they always could talk but just didn’t 😂
The best part of "Tom&Jerry: The Movie" is the song of a Cat Mob.
I have mixed feeling about this movie but I can't hate this movie because it was part of my beloved childhood and so I did enjoy how they can talk. I can't believe this movie was much memorable to me than its latest movie. The peak of my favorite thing in this movie was actually listening to ending credit songs by Stephanie Mills.
Say what you want about this film but I really like the song Tom and Jerry sing with that one dog, that one song with the cat gang and of course, the one song that starts with the line "We got to have... Moneeeeey".
I ever liked Tom and Jerry originally but I find more enjoyment seeing them together and talking instead of just fighting each other over and over again. Film felt the story plot was rushed
Well, my school didn't have a "School Fate" but we did have a School Fair where kids like me at the time would get to play Carnival games and go into Bouncy Houses in the fields of the School, we even got Hot Dogs and Chips afterwards for Lunch, 🤤 those were some gooood hot dogs...
I remember seeing a trailer of this along side the budgie the helicopter trailer and Captain Planet trailer on my Tom and Jerry kids show vhs that I had as a kid (The vhs in question was Tom’s terror which is rare to find nowadays).
Makes sense both those things would have trailers for each other on their respective tapes, given they were both around the same time.
A good film really needs a remaster or a true sequel thing film is king
SO many questions about this movie, but the most imprudent one is definitely...why?
Something tells me the scene with Dr. Applecheeks creeping towards the camera was supposed to be him walking towards Robin, but one of the editors said they had to recontextualize it.
This is my favorite Tom and Jerry movie, and the soundtrack of this movie slaps
Oh boy, it's been the hot minute since I watched this one. I think it was like Middle School or elementary School at when I watched this one. Also, if I had a nickel for every time Tom and Jerry were side characters in their own movie. I have no idea how much I would have but I know it will be quite a bit
For as long as I could remember watching television, I've always been a Tom and Jerry fanatic. But this movie might be my earliest memory of being disappointed. In fact, for a while I tried to convince myself to like it; even though I realised I really didn't.
My problem with this movie is not that Tom and Jerry speak, I actually don't think it's a bad idea for them to put aside their differences to fight a bigger foe. My problem is that the cat & mouse duo get upstaged in their own movie. I mean it is without its good qualities, as the villains are so meme worthy at this point.
Also, I think Lickboot started to become concerned for Robin's safety, because he feared the plan wouldn't work otherwise.
But still, it's this movie that showed me that hype can be a trap, some things just don't live to that. And that Tom and Jerry have always had their highs and lows. I look forward to what mayhem they'll get up to next (for better or for worse).
Yeah I know what you were talking about we call them Fancy Fairs over here
12:08 Atleast we got this Line from this Mediocrity.
I used to LOVE this film 😂
The Tony Hawk bit had me spitting out my coffee qith laughter holy cr*p 😂😂😂
I was hoping that joke would amuse somebody. 😁
Your not the only one I liked it too.
Oh my gosh!! I remember I had this movie on VHS back in the day when I was a very little girl. Unfortunately I broke it, or was it the VHS player?! I don't remember because it was back in the late 90's.
He a pervert 😂 18:29
Came on! the lawyer worries at the end because he knows if the girl is dead there is no money.
I was there for this in real time, as part of the target demographic (at the ripe old age of eight going on nine), and already a fan of the original shorts. I remember being HYPED. Then the movie starts and it's a good old-fashioned classic chase scene, and I am laughing my pre-teen butt off, thinking this is exactly what I want.
And then...
...wait, why are they talking?
...wait, why are they *friends* now?
NNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!
Still one of the biggest disappointments of my youth, right up there with Turtles III and Home Alone 2.
I remember watching this film once when i was younger
It was on vhs at blockbuster and as a tom and jerry fan my family rented it
I dont remember much about it other than tom and jerry talked
I've heard the film was just a discount disney film with tom and jerry slapped on for some reason (similat to felix the cat the movie (which i also remember seeing but forgotten its existence) even sonic satam can't escape this trap)
Then again, it can be argued that tom and jerry is a franchise that wouldnt work as a film
I may want to check it out again but i do have my reservations since i'm not sure if tom and jerry could work as a film
Banger theme for Tom & Jerry Kids, as well!
I unironically enjoyed the movie as a kid. It does still parallel Scooby Doo gang be tossed in with random things like KISS and WWE, just to a less extreme for the story being original and obviously based on something in real life. Although, it does feel like the movie's story is based on something. I have no idea what, though.
If you are able to, please review Cats Don't Dance (1997) on VHS!
