Tom and Jerry: The Fast and the Furry (2005)

How sad is this?

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

After wrecking their house during a chase, Tom and Jerry enter a race around the world where the winner gets a new fancy house. Fun and pretty damn hilarious 'Tom and Jerry: The Fast and the Furry' is basically like a Fast & Furious rip-off but even more outrageous and that i do mean it in a good way. The film is all sort of crazy but also with lot's of action and adventure that pretty much works from start to finish so well and the two beloved characters are better than ever plus the other racers were also pretty great to like the granny and the Ares looking fella.

Then what is this anomaly of a movie? Here's my theory; the studio wants some corporate cash in for Tom and Jerry not caring about how faithful, but the storyboard writers end up thinking "FORGET cash-ins they are boring, let's do what we WANT to do" and so they let their imaginations run as wildly as this 75 minute film would allow them. As a whole, the more modern retreads of the 50's classic cartoon has been hit or miss over the decades, some turning out to almost rival the classics, and some turning out abysmal, this is the most unique modernization I have seen out of any of them; but that also means this is the most "What-the-crap-did-I-just-watch?". This movie stars Tom and Jerry doing what they do best, chasing each other and breaking stuff, but this time they end up destroying the entire house, so they need to find a new home, and that is where they enter the race around the world for a huge mansion. And the story ends up so bizarre that all I can do is just smile. Who cares if this is faithful or not(well, it kind of is) it is one of the most entertaining modern attempts I have seen in a long while, which is a good thing.

I love anything to do with Tom and Jerry. I was disappointed with Tom and Jerry: The Movie, but I found both Shiver Me Whiskers and The Magic Ring surprisingly good. Sadly, the Fast and the Furry, out of the Tom and Jerry movies, is for me the worst, and I will explain why. I liked the idea of Tom and Jerry travelling across the world to find a new mansion, and I will say the movie starts off well. For me, there was very little other than the title, that made it Tom and Jerry, there was little of the comic violence that made the TV show a childhood favourite of mine. The plot, like another reviewer said, was highly suggestive of Tom and Jerry meets Wacky Races, and none of the supporting characters I found particularly likable. I wasn't too impressed with the flat animation, and the forgettable incidental music either. What disappointed me most, was that the film just wasn't funny. In fact, Tom and Jerry themselves were the only redeeming qualities to this dreck. 2/10 Bethany Cox

Well what can I say? Take a classic cartoon destroy the formula trying to modernise it and end up with a mess that neither works as a classic or a modern animated movie. The basic premise of Tom and Jerry wrecking their house, and in means of finding redemption separately entering a road race to win a new house. Feels tacked on to a series of set pieces which is basically an overlong and sub-standard episode of 'Whacky Racers' with an attempted send up of reality television. This really does not work on any level and does not better classic Tom and Jerry in any area. Do you self a favour and hunt put the classics to see what the fuss is all about.
