Tom and Jerry: The Magic Ring

This is the first T&J cartoon since Hanna Barbera days to recapture at all the look and feel of the Kenneth Muse animated originals.

Here are rich backgrounds, visual gags coming one after the other and a decent plot to pull it all together. Too often, later T&Js are reduced to plot less itchy-and-scratchy violence with the cat always coming off worst. The Hanna Barbera cartoons were never so predictable.

But for all that, something is lacking. The pace in the action sequences is never as breathtaking. Perhaps stretching T&J to the longer length simply spreads out too thin the ideas.

In the end, while watchable, this is equally missable.

I watch Tom and Jerry a lot, including this movie. I had no idea I would love this movie so much. To start off, the animation is clean and smooth, like in an ordinary Tom and Jerry cartoon. The characters are designed well and the voices are fun to listen to. I thought that the plot of the movie was funny: Tom has to guard a magical ring and Jerry steals it and it gets stuck on his head. A lot of you might like the old Tom and Jerry better, but I like the new cartoons and movies of the series, too. I have watched this movie countless times and it never gets old. You don't have to like the new Tom and Jerry shows, but at least give them some support.

When I was a kid this was one of my favourite cartoon movies, pure 10/10. SO like most of my childhood movies I rewatched it. It was so bad, the jokes were very poor, most of the plot was predictable. Many scenes which were cool back then nwo felt lame, forced and did not make much sense. Other movies I rewatched aged much better, but nostalgia didn't work for this one.

This movie literary changed my life... i'm serious! It motivated me to learn English (English is my second language). I wanted to know what the characters were saying. it sounded so interesting to me (hearing a foreign language that i didn't understand). so much so that it inspired me. I don't care how good or bad this movie is, i'd still give it a 10. Besides the point that it made my childhood awesome.

Tom and Jerry is one of my all time favourite cartoons, and for a movie, after the disappointing Tom and Jerry: The Movie, this was a pretty decent kids movie. Yes, it is too short, and the story is predictable, but it is compensated by the colourful animation, likable characters, and a remarkably good voice cast, such as Diagnosis Murder's Charlie Sclatter, and voice veteran Jim Cummings. And Jerry I've always found really cute. Also, while adults may find it a bit too predictable and repetitive, and that is a big may, children will love it, and as a 17 year old female, I found it easy to like, and pretty funny. 7/10 Bethany Cox
