    Love always prevails!
    Have you ever wonder why the majority of hotels has a no-pets policy? This movie supports why that rule is enforced; At the Royal Gate hotel, Tom and Jerry destroyed a ton of property and ruined an elite event. Kayla tried to maintain order by forcing them to get along, but the food chain is an hierarchy that is firm. Tom and Jerry feeling guilty for blowing Kayla's cover as a result she was fired decided to come together and right their wrongs. It was a stretch that their plan worked to prevent Preeta from leaving New York and marrying Ben because the wedding planning drifted them apart due to differences but surviving prove their bond is solidified.

    Tom & Jerry: The Movie
    Oh, for heaven's sake!! Why? What for? Who on earth ever thought this was a good idea? Those of us who regularly watched the chaotic antics of "Jerry", his arch-nemesis "Tom" and his own persecutor "Spike" know well that these are at their best when delivered as quickly paced, entertaining, five minute bursts of slapstick comedy. This, on the other hand, is a turgid and lacklustre vehicle for Chloë Grace Moretz ("Kayla") to demonstrate that she has a lovely smile but very little else as this nonsense sees her impersonating someone to get a job at an hotel. Here, a celebrity wedding with an Indian theme is set to take place and she is charged with making the wedding of "Ben" (Colin Jost) and "Preeta" (Pallavi Sharda) (or ought that to be Chopra-Jonas?) - complete with animated elephants - go smoothly. "Tom" and "Jerry" have to stop their constant bickering to put on a united front to help her out after predictable carnage ensues. When this is left to the two cartoon characters, it can be passable - otherwise it is a travesty of animated history that ought to be consigned to the deepest vault in the deepest trench of the Pacific Ocean. Shocking!

    This spells trouble for hand-drawn animation.
    Before I give my review I'd like to say a little something about myself. I love Hand-drawn animation. For those who are new to Earth, hand-drawn or traditional animation is animation done with pencil and paper( ex. Snow White, Little Mermaid, Lion King 1994.) I'm also a huge fan of live action/ traditional animation hybrids (ex. Space Jam, Three Caballeros, and the best movie ever made, Who Framed Roger Rabbit.) Unfortunately with CGI as the norm, I doubt we'll ever see something like those again.

    Now on to my review. It was pretty good.... when it was about Tom and Jerry. Yeah, this movie actually gets Tom and Jerry's antics right despite the limitations of the real world. They also manage to get most of the classic characters in there, there's even a hilarious Droopy cameo. I also like the references of classics jokes they used. And thankfully, Tom and Jerry don't talk in this movie (well except for that one scene where Tom tries to impress a girl cat by singing but that doesn't count.) This may sound like this is a good movie and that would be true... if it was about Tom and Jerry. Unfortunately, like The Smurfs, Alvin & the Chipmunks, and the Dumbo remake, this movie would rather the story be about the boring humans rather than the characters in the title. Don't let any plot synopsis fool you, this movie is really about Chloe Grace Moretz's character (I completely forgot her character's name) and her silly hotel job and occasionally Tom and Jerry pop up. Chloe plays her character fine but I really don't care for her in this movie, I just wanna see Tom and Jerry. And Michael Pena's character ( also forgot his character's name) is a drag. Seriously, couldn't he take one joke. He's a terrible and boring villain as well. Another thing that brings this movie down is when it stops trying to be a faithful Tom and Jerry cartoon and starts being a modern kids comedy. Everything from the pop culture references, fart jokes, and the mention of TikTok severely date this movie. In fact, in one scene where Tom, no joke, starts flossing, a part of me died inside. If they just sticked with timeless humor this could've worked. I watched this film on HBO Max two days ago and I already forgot most of what happened and that can only get worse as time continues. But now it's time for the biggest downer, the animation. Before I get personal, I just to say I appreciate what the animators were trying to do with stylized CGI looking like hand-drawn animation. I also sorta like the fact that all the animals in this movie are animated in this style so our title characters don't feel left out. But I just don't get why CGI is trying to look hand-drawn. I mean it looked good in Peanuts, Spiderverse, and Captain Underpants, but this is just getting ridiculous. Why can't these American studios who clearly have the time and the money just make a stinking hand-drawn film. And thanks to this film, I fear that more hybrids will follow this style instead of just taking the easy route and make it actually hand-drawn. Oh well, here's to hoping that either Disney, Don Bluth, or even one of the many streaming services can bring back hand-drawn animation in America. Either that, or someone like me will.
