60 of 137 · most liked firstAfter two previous bumpy feature films, Tom and Jerry are back on the big screen this time in their third feature film. Sadly, third time was not the charm because this new film is rough. Anyway, here's my review of Tom and Jerry: Forbidden Compass.
negative · AI labelView post →Now this is how you do Tom and Jerry: Complete carnage with no regard for third parties. Hopefully the next live action film can pull this off... Also is this the only time they've ever done something with Tom and a laser pen? I can't think of any other occasions. Shame because it's comedic gold...
positive · AI labelView post →MGM's Tom and Jerry are the Motion Picture Academy’s most lauded animated series, winning seven Oscars and being nominated for a total of 13 in the category Best Animated Short Film.
neutral · AI labelView post →its funny how they literally just cant make a good Tom and Jerry movie. and it's something where you think like "oh okay it must just not work in a longform format" but they literally just made a very good Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote movie. the Tom and Jerry movies are just always some bullshit!!
negative · AI labelView post →People are saying that the new Tom and Jerry movie looks like it was made with Ai, but I think it looks more like it cost $100 to animate. If it was Ai generated, it would have looked so much worse. Trust me.
negative · AI labelView post →How the hell do Tom and Jerry meet Charlie and Willy Wonka and yet there was never a movie where they met more logical allies like Scooby Doo or something, especially when that dog has met every other fictional character under the sun? I'm sorry. My brain asks big questions when I'm in pain.
neutral · AI labelView post →Say what you will about the Tom and Jerry Wonka movie. It is absolutely not a good movie... BUT I thought this scene was actually pretty cute.
neutral · AI labelView post →its just crazy they lock the hell in for a single minute here. they were specifically told to not make Tom and Jerry the main characters in the movie Tom & Jerry. could you imagine the Coyote vs ACME style Tom and Jerry character study movie with stuff like this
positive · AI labelView post →Warner Bros. Pictures Animation Bosses Re-Commit To Theatrical Animation Distribution — New "Tom and Jerry", "Meerkat Manor", and "Flintstones" movies are in early development.
neutral · AI labelView post →I wonder what they'd say if I said this was the best theatrical Tom and Jerry movie... Actually strike that. I don't wonder. I don't care about Twitter. But while we're here, this is the only theatrical T&J film I don't hate. And cue the flame wars...
positive · AI labelView post →Nerd realization: If someone made a horror T&J movie in 2036 as soon as the first cartoon goes PD, a few problems would come up. You can't call them "Tom and Jerry" since the name would still be copyrighted and Tom would look vastly different to how we remember him...
neutral · AI labelView post →That's probably the biggest issue with Robyn. She's a decently written character and you can absolutely feel sympathetic towards her. Her story just doesn't really belong in a Tom and Jerry movie. There's a reason why we say this movie is a Rescuers rip-off...
negative · AI labelView post →It's looking like my Cinemark isn't getting Coyote vs Acme. I will die laughing if they end up picking up that Tom and Jerry film next month.
neutral · AI labelView post →I think it’s incredible that the new Tom and Jerry film is titled FORBIDDEN ACTS
positive · AI labelView post →AI thumbnails? Good job, Viva. Good job... Also shock and surprise, the clips only focus on those brief moments when Tom and Jerry actually do something in the film. Do not be fooled. They are not the central focus of the story.
negative · AI labelView post →And with that, I own every Tom and Jerry movie released pre-2020. Considering my three least favourite T&J films all came out in the last five years, it will come as no surprise that I have no plans or even desire to pick up anything after Wonka. Even I have my limits!!
negative · AI labelView post →The first scene in Tom and Jerry: The Movie is about Tom and his owner (and I guess Jerry) moving out of their house which needs to be demolished to make way for new apartment buildings. I would assume the owner would've had to sell the house to the city... What if she just refused to sell?
neutral · AI labelView post →OK team, I'm thinking... I lost all progress today due to exhaustion so I have a plan for tomorrow: Along with Billy and Mandy, I wanna get Men in Black 2 done as well as Reluctant Werewolf and I think I'm due for another watch of Tom and Jerry: The Movie. I dunno, I'm just weird that way...
neutral · AI labelView post →I have my own set of grudges as do most people. You wanna talk media studios, I despise what Warner has done with Tom and Jerry in the past decade, including the embarrassing movie they just starred in. Warner at best outsourced that shitheap to China. You don't see me threatening Warner execs...
negative · AI labelView post →like to give that movie anything Tom and Jerry themselves look great 100% of the time. Coyote is probably the best looking cel-shaded character in Coyote vs Acme but there's quite a few shots where he does not look very good at all
neutral · AI labelView post →For a day I'd be in that recent "Tom and Jerry" movie where the humans are all live action but the animals are all cartoons (and the pets anthropomorphic). Closest thing I'll ever get to a Newshoundsiverse on film.
positive · AI labelView post →For example, had that one mofo on social media who was obsessed with the 21' Tom and Jerry Movie (and was also a shit person to begin with,) liked the film, but understood why the wider opinion on it is the way it is instead of forcing people online into liking it, less people would hate him.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tom was almost replaced by a robot cat named Mechano in "Push-Button Kitty". There was also Pops Cat from "Life with Tom". Clyde from Tom and Jerry Kids appeared in the 2021 movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →There will come a day when there's a Tom and Jerry horror film. No one wants it but that'll be the joy of the public domain in about 10 years time. The thing about that? With the cat and mouse's abysmal track record with films, there's a chance it may not be the worst in their library...
neutral · AI labelView post →Tom and Jerry and the Forbidden Compass is a very culturally Chinese movie. Not a huge surprise, as it was made in China for a Chinese audience. While the cat and mouse still have problems once they go past eight minutes, it is interesting to see an international interpretation of them.
neutral · AI labelView post →This fan film is delightful. How has this never been done in an official capacity? Imagine the amount of carnage Tom and Jerry could cause in a campsite. A vicious fight over "The good spot" ends with them destroying the entire site and being chased away by angry campers...
neutral · AI labelView post →A new Sonic show and a Crazy Taxi movie? OK. Can't say I was expecting that. The Sonic show seems to be aimed at pre-school kids but Tom and Jerry Gokko and Bugs Bunny Builders seem have worked out so maybe Sonic will too... As for Crazy Taxi, it has the Naked Gun writing team. I'm in.
neutral · AI labelView post →this one was right there. the Tom and Jerry stuff in this is like good. most of the movie is complete BULLSHIT!!!!!! ohhhh the wedding we have to get the wedding together I DON'T CARE!!!! youtu.be/kP9TfCWaQT4?...
neutral · AI labelView post →What pisses me off about the film beyond the dialogue and irritating new characters is just how unimportant Tom and Jerry were to the plot. They somehow found a way to make them less relevant than something like the Wonka movie...
negative · AI labelView post →As I stated with my friend @termiteterraceclub.bsky.social post about this movie, this film isnt like WB's CGI Tom and Jerry movie or Disney+ Rescue Rangers film where it was more forced jokes every 10 seconds or something equating to Space Jam 2, which was smart as Coyote felt like a return.....
positive · AI labelView post →KEE AND TOM AND JERRY: Exhibit A: Kee when a new Tom and Jerry movie is announced. Exhibit B: Kee when anything not a Tom and Jerry movie is announced.
neutral · AI labelView post →THIS ONE! 😊 This movie with Tom and Jerry in it that I usually watched it.
positive · AI labelView post →Update: I've been reminded that Rosa owns these things and that Tom Wilson was in both as well as the TV show. She gets the first SpongeBob movie signed, I get Back To The Future 2 signed because his Tom and Jerry film is bleh. Problem solved!
negative · AI labelView post →Tom and Jerry movie trivia because I is bored!! FIRST: 1992. Saw it on TV. Still have the tape. LAST: Forbidden Compass. It came out last year. BEST: Fast and Furry. It has a body count. WORST: 2021. No comment. UNDERRATED: Robin Hood has a good story. OVERRATED: Cowboy Up. 5.2 on IMDb is too high.
neutral · AI labelView post →I know it's an incredibly low bar but Robyn is probably the most interesting side character in a Tom and Jerry movie. Sure her storyline is in the completely wrong production but it's more substantial than virtually anyone else's backstory across all 18 films...
positive · AI labelView post →Tom and Jerry: The Fast and the Furry is my favorite movie in the franchise, and if you know me, it ought to be obvious why. ;)
positive · AI labelView post →What deity do I have to pray to to get a Tom and Jerry movie that's actually good?
negative · AI labelView post →Tom and Jerry and the Forbidden Compass is the latest bad film in the Tom and Jerry franchise since this CGI film made in China has the duo sidelined into glorified side characters in an over-complicated, loud, and bizarre Chinese-mythology fantasy plot. They are in ancient China to find a compass.
negative · AI labelView post →First saw Tweety's High Flying Adventure during a Looney Tunes marathon on Boomerang in May 2003. It's essentially the B-feature to my VHS recording of Tom and Jerry: The Movie from 2000. Unlike that thing, this one is actually a competent movie 🤣
negative · AI labelView post →also it bothers me that the movie is called "Tom & Jerry" with an ampersand and not "Tom and Jerry." movie made to piss me off.
negative · AI labelView post →Forbidden Compass has a problem: It's a movie you simply can't market. At its core, it's a generic Chinese action film that just happens to feature Tom and Jerry. You want people in the theatre seats, you can't tell them that. You can focus on them in the trailer but once they see the film, oh no...
negative · AI labelView post →This film is an absolute joke of a production but you'll never catch me saying it's a franchise killer. Tom and Jerry survived a studio closer in the 50s, a handful of mediocre TV shows and the 1992 and 2021 films. It will absolutely survive a trip to China...
neutral · AI labelView post →Well I'm beat! I didn't have time for Reluctant Werewolf and I got 50 minutes into Men in Black 2 but I did make it through Tom and Jerry: The Movie because of course I did. Had technical difficulties with Billy and Mandy but I can make up for lost time tomorrow... GOOD NIGHT, FELLOWS!!
neutral · AI labelView post →I have been informed by @mauvetoon.bsky.social that Forbidden Compass has hit US streaming. Apparently the intro scenes with Angel, Phoenix and Co have been cut. Honestly, I saw this coming. They tried to refocus the film on Tom and Jerry and that's hard when the plot doesn't revolve around them.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tom and Jerry movie defenders racing to the bottom with Anderson RE movie defenders and Snyderverse holdouts in having the worst takes on cinema.
neutral · AI labelView post →Right now its up there in terms of bad as the 90s Tom and Jerry movie the one where they talked and the 2021 live-action/CGI hybrid movie and already topped their other crossover films in terms of bizarre and bad. Needless to say I would stick to The Magic Ring, Fast and the Furry and The Mars one.
negative · AI labelView post →I have no proof of this but I can't help but feel the people behind Forbidden Compass wrote an average Chinese action film, they went to Warner Bros and they refused to finance the movie unless Tom and Jerry were made the leads...
neutral · AI labelView post →The film was written sixty four times with up to 100 thousand revisions and the generic crap you see on the screen is the script they settled on. If you haven't seen Forbidden Compass, just don't bother. You could watch almost any other Tom and Jerry film and get better results...
negative · AI labelView post →Kee every time a post-2012 Tom and Jerry movie comes along. What I do is a public service. I suffer so you don't have to...
negative · AI labelView post →This box-set has been on my mind for a year. This would complete my pre-2020 Tom and Jerry movie collection. I almost committed and then the crazy voice in my head reminded me that I could just buy the two movies I need separately and avoid a handful of duplicates...
neutral · AI labelView post →Imagine what they'd be like if I said Willy Wonka wasn't the worst Tom and Jerry movie. I don't even know if it's in the bottom 5 for me...
positive · AI labelView post →Moment of realization: I'm watching The Invisible Man next week. I'm gonna have to do a certain Tom and Jerry short inspired by that movie too, ain't I? Not that I'm complaining. I just need to know which Laserdisc the short's on and I'm good to go. Takes 30 seconds max...
neutral · AI labelView post →Whereas Coyote vs ACME is getting endless praise and becoming a box office hit, this Tom and Jerry movie that was finished last year has finally found a release on the big screen in America and lets just say the cat and mouse are on the opposite path from the Coyote and Roadrunner.
neutral · AI labelView post →The problem is simple: How do you market a movie like this? It's a basic Chinese action film that just happens to star Tom and Jerry. That's not gonna interest many people, certainly not on Ne Zha levels. Promote the cat and mouse heavily, you might get some people in the seats...
neutral · AI labelView post →And while it will feature 2D hand-drawn animation, it will primarily be 3D animation that will try to aiming for a 2D cel look, similar to something like 2021’s Tom and Jerry(I’m just glad that a certain fan of that film isn’t on this site here….I hope).
neutral · AI labelView post →And DON'T remind me of that movie that shoves Tom and Jerry in there for no reason!
neutral · AI labelView post →That's Tom and Jerry from the live action Tom and Jerry movie
neutral · AI labelView post →If I were still on Twitter, what would my most controversial Tom and Jerry take be? I don't think the '92 film is all that bad, I certainly don't think Willy Wonka is the worst movie and I despise the 2014 T&J show. What would get the most angry comments?
neutral · AI labelView post →Well that will do for another round of Tom and Jerry's.... "best" is such a strong word so let's call it their most tolerable theatrical film... boxd.it/gHtIIz
