Tom and Jerry (2021)

This is not a movie I would have chosen to watch on my own. Unfortunately I have been sharing the joys of classic Tom and Jerry cartoons with my housemate and thus we watched this together. It is…. not good. The human scenes, involving a wedding no one should care about, are all a waste of anyone’s time and they make up the vast majority of the movie’s runtime. The scenes with Tom and Jerry themselves are mostly fine though could have gone much farther in their Tom and Jerry zaniness. The animation of Butch, Topsy, and the other classic cats were off and the voicing of Spike was wrong. The one thing I did appreciate is that all animals were animated, which is a nice bit of commitment to world-building. I still could have done without singing pigeons.
