Tom and Jerry & The Wizard of Oz

I watched this cartoon at home while I was playing a game of Scrabble on an app. It's about 55 minutes and the animation is so-so. I laughed when his hands got slammed in the window. Since neither Tom or Jerry talk they had to have an annoying chaperon(who is a mouse) just like Jerry, but a munchkin Mouse. I laughed 2 more times and the witch was OK and the singing wasn't so bad. I really hated the big doe eyes on Dorothy but Droopy reads the personnel day benefits. What can I say I watched it at home. I wasn't in a crowded theater with no leg room and no doors on the restrooms. I wonder how much money it made. I think it was straight to video or do they say straight to home DVD. Remember to have fun since its a new cartoon. I might give them away as Christmas gifts.

Tom and Jerry gatecrash The Wizard of Oz story as they get carried by the same twister that took Dorothy.

As Dorothy continues her adventure in the land of Oz. Searching for the wizard to take her home.

Tom and Jerry must follow the yellow brick road to save Dorothy from the wicked witch.

As both Tom and Jerry have a common purpose, there is less antagonism between the two.

I found this rather charming. You have elements of The Wizard of Oz movie including the songs in a cartoon form. Tom and Jerry pop in for their own take of the adventure.

I thought this might not work, be all rather cheesy and uninspiring. I was pleasantly surprised and found it fun.

Much like with Willy Wonka, this was a movie nobody asked for. The two don't really go together that well. It's long, boring and just a huge rehash of the story we all knew and grew up to love mixed with the duo's antics every few scenes.

Much like most of them skip it.

I love Tom and Jerry, their cartoons were the epitome of my childhood. The direct-to-video movies have been rather hit and miss for me. I liked Nutcracker Tale and Shiver Me Whiskers, but disliked Fast and the Furry. I loved this though, with Tom and Jerry and a truly timeless story to work from it couldn't fail in my eyes. The animation is great with fluid backgrounds, lively colours and appealing character designs that reminded me strongly of MGM Hanna Barbera. The songs and music are wonderful, tuneful and makes you want to sing along, the writing is funny and touching often and the story is still the timeless classic you know and love albeit with a clever Tom and Jerry twist. Tom and Jerry are a delight, Dorothy is cute while never cloying, Scarecrow, Lion and TinMan are great fun and the Wicked Witch is menacing and cunning. The voice acting is strong, especially from Grey DeLisle who is wonderful as Dorothy. In conclusion, while a little rushed and a little too short, Tom and Jerry & The Wizard of Oz is a very entertaining movie. 9/10 Bethany Cox

I have to say, I was surprised at how good "Tom and Jerry meet Sherlock Holmes" was for a Tom and Jerry movie, but seeing this timeless classic with a Tom and Jerry twist made my heart soar. "Tom and Jerry and the Wizard of Oz" took me by surprise on how it stayed true to the story and "Tom and Jerry" lore at the same time. There were no big unnecessary changes (besides the addition of a certain Munchkin mouse, but Kath Soucie is still good) and the voice-acting is excellent, with Grey DeLisle as Dorothy and Rob Paulsen as the Tin Man, etc. The one problem I had was that it was too short. But to each its own, and I am glad to see a (sort-of) renovation to such a timeless tale that I will never forget.
