NC: (does a more violent spit) Holy crap, they talked! They actually talked! I'm gonna just go ahead and eat my customary three-pound watermelon and drink my traditional pitcher of Sangria at the same time, while I confirm how wrong I was about this ridiculous misunderstanding. No, no, no, it's gotta be a mistake, I gotta be hearing things. NC (voiceover): Did Tom and Jerry, one of the most famous silent duos of all time, just speak to each other? NC: (drinking water, does a spit take) WHAT THE HELL? Did they just talk?* NC: It's like Peter Falk and George Carlin's secret love child. Pugsy: They gotta learn to be pals or they ain't gonna make it out here. Pugsy: Instead of bein' pals, you're fightin' like a cat and a mouse.įranky: They ARE a cat and a mouse, Pugsy. But it all goes downhill when they meet this singing gay dog and his obnoxious little flea named Franky. There's even a cute in-joke with a restaurant called Bill and Joe's, referencing Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera, the show's creators. These are the only good parts of the movie, where Tom and Jerry try to decide whether to help each other out or not, and all without any dialogue. So the two of them have to roam the streets looking for food and shelter. Tom and Jerry escape, but are left without a home. It turns out the owners moved just in time as their house was being destroyed by an old wrecking ball. NC (voiceover): So the film begins with Tom's owners moving away, but Tom accidentally gets flung out of the car, and is forced to stay at home. NC: That means they just went up to him everyday and asked, "Is this destroying your creation? Is this nothing like your original vision?" "Yes." "Good!" (Tom is sliced up) Oh, my God, that's blood! They just showed blood in this! What are they, fucking psychos? Yeah, and here's a real joke, Creative Consultant Joseph Barbera. And look at this, when Tom get cut in half in the cartoon, it's humorous. NC (voiceover): God, that's not nearly as funny. Tom, the end of a big hammer falling on his tail, gives a much different yell (YEOOOOOOW!) Scene from the short Jerry and Jumbo, Tom, his tail hit by a mouse-trap, yells loudly (AAAAAAHHHHH!) NC (voiceover): (sighs) Even the slapstick is wrong.
NC: Tom and Jerry had little to no voice actors in their cartoons, but, hey, maybe the slapstick'll be funny.Ī golf ball crashes through Tom's teeth, shattering them. And here's our first problem: voice actors. In the opening credits, we see Tom and Jerry doing what they do best: chasing each other.
#Good tom and jerry movies movie#
How can you possibly make an hour and a half movie out of this? A Tom and Jerry cartoon is about 7 minutes long with just slapstick and silent humor. (NOTE: The movie actually came out in America on Jwhile it was released on Octoin Germany.)
NC (voiceover): Instead, we got Tom and Jerry: The Movie, a 1992 film about, what else, Tom and Jerry. NC: With a comedy team so legendary, you'd think Hollywood would put some real time and effort into their first feature length film together. NC (voiceover): There's directors, historians, and even comedy stars like Whoopi Goldberg and MADTV cast members who all see Tom and Jerry as comic gold. NC: I'm such a fucking dork that I actually went out and got the DVD collections of these cartoons, and you know what I found out? I'm not the only one who regards them as comic legends. With the wanton destruction, comedic timing and hilarious sound effects, this is the original cat and mouse team that perfected the art of cartoon violence. NC (voiceover): Oh, hell, yeah, I fucking love Tom and Jerry. NC: Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic, I remember it so you don't have to.įootage of the original Tom and Jerry cartoons
