I was a receptionist and we had a code to get into the doors. An older gentleman shows up and tries to get in and I tell him I'm sorry sir I cannot just left you in. He was really nice about it and didn't argue. Another employee noticed him and said oh I'm so sorry go ahead sir.

He was the president of the company, he looked at me and said I'm glad you don't let just anybody in this place

Yep its been 3 decades since this movie came out and even though it was before my time but I did manage to see it when I was younger probably as a rerun on TV and it stuck out to me ever since. And I have seen a fair number of them like Blast off to Mars, The Magic Ring, Robin Hood and his Merry Mouse, a bit of the Wizard of Oz or The Fast and the Furry. Though what made the 1992 film stick out above the rest was that it was the most unique or fun of the franchise while made with so much love and effort.

Like not only did Tom and Jerry have more of a prominent role as protagonist then most movies in this but they were also given actual character along with their voices. Which is quite a shocker for the franchise but it never bothered me and honestly I prefer it because they fit the two really well. It allowed them to be so much more expressive like in their distain for each other or respect when they end up co-operating as frenemies, the compassion in the friendships they've made on this journey with Puggsy and Frankie or their new owner Robyn Starling. It actually made me care for them as characters along with their friends or the problems they've faced and not just to only smile at their shenanigans.

Plus I'm sure this is the only movie in the franchise to cover a compelling story of tragic instances where adults take advantage of children in fostering for profit which is one of many problems we still grapple with in society. In fact Aunt Pristine Figg and Lickboot are not only messed up because of this but they are also very fun villians because they're like your conniving overtop mustache twirling antagonist which is as little tropey but they do it so well that I really enjoy the characters.

Also the musical moments slaps with great a sound track or vocals from the voice actors and these musical numbers really gets their point across. There a moderate amount of them as well to keep that balance with everything else which is thoughtful. This one with Tom, Jerry, Puggsy and Frankie has amazing road stage choreography mixed with classic Tom and Jerry antics which is just hats off to the animators for doing an outstanding job of incorporating it in.

Overall it's one to really remember and I think it hasn't been topped yet. Which I haven't seen the most recent one about a year ago and it seems like it has some nice CGI but based on the trailers its premise does seem pretty basic. And may we have a moment of silence for Dana Hill who was Jerry Mouse's voice actor and died at too young of an age at 33 years old which happened 3-4 years after this film. As well as many other of the voice actors who past away in their ripe old age Charles Elmer, Tony Jay, Charlotte Rae, Don Messick and Henry Gibson etc. But the movie will be remembered in their names and everyone that had a hand in making it.
