My Thoughts on the Film.Pros:Tom and Jerry Animated (Again): Warner Brother still keeps the designs of Tom, Jerry, Tuffy, even Spike, who appears in this, still looking good in a way.Charlie and the Voice Acting: Like the movie again, I thought the voice acting would suck too, but I'll get to that in a minute, when hearing most of the voices in this, some of them were average, mostly the voice actors who played the parts of Charlie, Grandpa Joe, Willy Wonka, Mrs. Bucket, Tuffy, Mr. Salt, Mrs. Gloop, and surprisingly Augustus Gloop, but mostly Charle and Willy Wonka, I mean they not Peter Ostrum and Gene Wilder good, but it serves.The Music: While they tried to add filler music to keep the "other" scenes going, I also like how some choreographers put in effort to add some music from the original movie in, because while it may be a kid cartoon, it show dedication to fans who grown up with the original music when seeing it as a kid or an adult. And if your wondering, the music I liked hearing in this movie and the Original are when Charlie finds the Golden Ticket, Charlie Running Home, and the songs I've Got a Golden Ticket and Pure Imagination (Regular and End Credits Version), plus the adapted version of, "I Want It Now" with Verruca and Slugworth was, eh, alright I guess.Tuffy Vs Wonka: Crazy Poetry: One of the scenes I'd enjoyed seeing was the tunnel scene from the Chocolate Room to the Inventing, and when I saw that they weren't going to do that scene I was disappointed, at first, but when scenes progressed on, it turn out that Tuffy ended up doing the crazy poetry in the tunnel, I even was shocked when he'd even said, hell, seriously, I'm mean I know it's a kids cartoon, but wow, however, there was one thing I was concerned for, and that's which did the better version of the crazed poetry, because when you see Gene Widler in the scene, he's psychotic and...well...more psychotic, with Tuffy, you get the same thing but instead, a girl is doing the scene, no offense to all girls who find this offensive.Extra Detail: If you've seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in 2005, you may have seen what the other four kids ended up like when they left the factory, but in Willy Wonka, they didn't do this at all. However during one of the scenes in the movie, since "some" were desperate, they show us exactly what happened when Veruca and her father got sent down the chute, of course, it did had to feature Tom, Jerry and Tuffy, but who cares, the unimaginable/new era happened during these movie!Cons:The Same Old Routine: Now I maybe a bit byes in all this, and this may sound stupid, but just for once can we have an episode, special, or movie that that won't involve Tom or Jerry chasing each other, don't get me wrong, I do like that bit, but nowadays it's just a bore to me. They did it in the past before Tom and Jerry Meets Sherlock Homes, so why shouldn't they do it now.No Speaking Roles for Grandparents: While Charlie's other three grandparents weren't shown as much in the film, it was really disappointing that they didn't get any speaking roles in the movie since they did in the original film.The Animation of Everything Else: I may be going a bit PhantomStrider here but, every single human animated in this repugnant, revolting, cringe worthy, unimaginative to watch, and dare I say, disgraceful, disgusting, and and despicable! In fact, if you want my opinion on the best/worst animation in the movie, the best character animation to my opinion would be Charlie, Grandpa Joe, Charlie's Mother, and the Oompa Loompas, and the worst, oh the worst are those kids you see at the candy store or in Charlie's school, even the Candy Store owner, Charlie's teacher, and any other person you can think of, just let me know.Bland Voice Acting: As for the rest of the voice acting in the movie, they just plain sucked altogether, mostly the actors who played the role of Veruca, Violet, and Mike. Let me just say, that when I heard the actor for Veruca scream, I was almost close to going death, and I didn't even have the volume on high, the actor for Violet kind of made her sound a bit like a retard, not only that, but the animation kind of hinted me a bit, and don't get me started on actor of Mike, because let tell you lot, that when hear Mike speak, his voice made me think of a combination of squeaks from a chalkboard and whiny little girl that throws tantrums and never learns shuts up, no joke! And that's just an in between best/worst case scenario!Changing Scenes/Plot: If I know one thing when making a adaption version in animation, claymation, etc, is that you stick with the main plot/script, this movie, instead they had just had random filler of Tom and Jerry's antics and removed some of either the best/memorable parts, like the hunt for the golden tickets with the use of a computer, the therapy sessions, Charlie's birthday Charlie and her mother's talk, Mrs. Bucket's music number, the police investigation, every single moment of the movie would've been great if they involved every scene from the 1971 film.

So, after i saw a 2.9 on IMDb for the New Tom and Jerry Feature length Movie, I was honestly a bit upset at IMDb, not the first time I did not agree with scores posted.......but still just because it was Tom and Jerry I decided to watch the Same to judge for myself if it were really true.... Could two Cartoon Characters, So Beloved by the entire world, really have an outing that wasn't good enough to score even a measly 3/10......(P.s at the time of writing this review it was 2.9/10)My Conclusion - Yes and No !!!! Let me explain................... I was one of the batch of the kids who were still being introduced to our Beloved Characters from the original Chuck Jones and Fred Quimbly - also known as the Golden Age of Tom and Jerry. Since then, Tom, Jerry,Spike and rest of the family has been revamped more than a couple of times and none of them to my liking, Buut i always filed it under "I guess I am too old now to get what the New Age versions are trying to portray." ......!!!.....!!!... While the new age versions received a clear bump in the animation budget, the other aspects of the shows were either just grossed over or just neglected all together for the sake of budget.... and herein lies the main problem in the very Steep Decline in the Love and appreciation of Our Favorite Cat And Mouse Duo.................. This movie kinda suffers from the same problems.... Although the animation and the look of Our Furry Friends, has considerably improved from the very glitchy type of animations in the previous RE-takes of the famous classic..........................The problem lies in THE MUSIC................It was only after recently watching my collection of The Original Tom and Jerry (Mind you I am 26 Now), where i realized that the magic and the love that all of us felt for the show, was due to a Phenomenally Beautiful Sound Track and utterly simplistic problems that Our Furry Friends and their Families Faced... every one, everywhere could instantly relate with them and The absolutely Gorgeous Animation is also a Key Aspect...........................Now compare That to Tom and Jerry going to Meet Willy Wonka, for starters u lost a major portion of your adults right here, but still if by any chance an adult were to sit and watch this movie with their kid, they will find it very, very difficult to be drawn into the world that so many of us spent so much time watching, experiencing, loving and emotionally attaching ourselves to the Original Show.......................................................IN conclusion i think the studio is yet to understand no matter how much they make our NEW Versions Furry Friends run into different story lines, get animation Upgrades, Make them Talk to Humanize them allit Never Was and I Doubt ever will hold up to the Beauty in Simplicity and The Absolutely Emotionally Driving Soundtrack is What made the Original So close to our hearts, regardless of age and nationality...My mom is 55 and she still enjoys the Originals...Nuff Said !!!! Over all nothing what you do not expect happens in the 2017 Movie, As i said the Animation HAD this glitchy, hyper Active feel to it, but this time round is better done and slightly resembles the Original Unfortunately the soundtrack still suffers from _ Lazy Cartoon-ishly Stupid base soundtrack that most of our minds will find it VERY DIFFICULT to get invested in.......I don't think even most KIDS, in today's day and age will enjoy something like this when U have Johnny Depp and HIS version floating around and the Original Tom and Jerry Shows so readily available !!!
