Me being a very big fan of the original T&J cartoons (as everybody here I assume) I don't really expect a lot from these modern straight-to-DVD T&J movies, Don't get me wrong, They're not bad at all, They're just not as good as the 1940~1952 era or even the Chuck Jones era for that matter, So I do not go outta my way to seek the DVs and watch then and even when I do, I just go in with low expectations but this one interested me for some reason..
Like.. A crossover between T&J and Sherlock Holmes.. That's such a weird and dumb idea, I think it might actually work and could give us a lot goofy interactions and wacky scenarios!
So.. what do I think of the movie.. Yeah It's okay, Again It's not bad at all, It's just alright, I was kinda of disappointed because of the lack of T&J/S&H interactions.. because... when you watch a movie called 'Tom and Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes' You would expect a lot more of.. You know... T&J and Sherlock and Watson interacting, Like seriously not ten minutes into the movie and iconic duos split up, and I found that kinda of disappointing
I know I'm seriously complaining about the 2010 straight-to-DVD Tom and Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes movie but like.. come on, Give me my T&J/S&W fanfic already goddammit!
Moriarty is basically trying to create the infinity gauntlet and Sherlock and Watson tries to stop him and Tom and Jerry with Red (surprisingly from the classic Tex Avery cartoons) trying to investigate a suspicious gang of flying cats, and that's basically the most interesting thing about this movie, Not the flying cats, I mean Red, Yeah Red and the wolf and a lot of other classic Tex Avery characters (that I won't spoil) are in this movie and that was such a pleasure surprise, It really felt like such a cool and sweet homage to Tex Avery and his amazing career, and that was just so nice to see and ending of the movie was just the cherry on top, Plus one star just for that, and Red's song 'Bumbershoot' is a very nice song, Grey DeLisle is such a talented singer and voice actress, Even though the song is unfortunately not as catchy and memorable as the old ones.
The voice acting is pretty great too, Michael York and Malcolm McDowell did an amazing job with the unfortunately boring and forgettable lines they got, I felt like their voices were kinda of wasted on this because they make such a great Sherlock and Watson, The other voice actors were good too.
So yeah if any of what I said interested you then hey, Go ahead and watch it, I had fun watching, with such a short running time, You won't even have a chance to get bored by it.
This movie is better than Blast Off to Mars and Shiver Me Wiskers but not as good and bonkers as The Fast and the Furry.
