Robert I saw this and will admit that I was bored and didn't really feel like watching it, but decided to. The beginning was really boring and made me consider skipping it like I did a few others. I was in that meh mood. The beginning had a song, and a mouse wishing to be part of the nutcracker. Ends up in a tale that seems typical. Waited for the funny humor and mostly just got the plot. It was okay...The only real interesting thing was the way the 'lands' were. They were really large rooms and when you got to a certain point you'd hit the wall which would bounce. You could rip the wall like paper to get to the next room. It was really interesting concept. A few of the characters were interesting but in general it just seemed to be meh.I was rather frustrated that the rocking horse toy revealed everything. She seemed so scared yet the movie seemed to imply that she couldn't help it and was afraid of being in trouble. But on the positive side I found the toy maker's workshop to be cool, with the toys he made to represent the many scenes we had previously scene.But all in all, I'll just rated it 6/10. Could have been a bit better...

cfisler-2 This Tom and Jerry A Nutcracker Tale also has the Wilhelm Scream. You can hear the scream when the cats fall off the cliff. The Wilhelm scream was first heard in the 1951 movie Distant Drums. The sound effect was first done by Sheb Wooley. He played in many western movies and was also a regular on the television series Rawhide. The Wilhelm Scream is often used in modern day movies and you can hear it in Troy, Twilight Saga: New Moon, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, License to Wed, Kill Bill Volume One, Inglorious Bastards, Knowing, Are We Done Yet, The Water Horse, Tropic Thunder, Family Guy Blue Harvest, Space Balls, Transformers and Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Plot keywords: Christmas story, comedy, cartoon, and Wilhelm Scream.

spottylover My five year old loves this little movie, and would watch it over and over if we let him. It has all the music from the Nutcracker Ballet, but the story really has nothing to do with the ballet. Nevertheless, it is a nice little story about helping others and being a friend. It doesn't have the constant violence that the old cartoons have, but it does have some (would it be Tom and Jerry without it?) and there are a couple scary parts where the group has to venture through the world to find the Toy Maker. There is very little dialogue and as usual, neither Tom nor Jerry speak in this adventure. Well worth the watching for little kids and the music is wonderful!

ionica I read the post before...I think he/she never saw an original tom and jerry before....it has nothing to do with the original, even the faces are drawn wrong...and when the hell was so much talking and crappy singing in the original?? this is wrong. It's the first time I comment on something because this kind of remakes are destroying the good old memories and mocking the work of all the talented people who worked so hard back then for the magic to happen. I think it's important to say something about this so the next time someone thinks about "remaking" better do a very good job. It's such a pity the kids today will prefer monsters and anime kind of things just because the old school is so poorly represented.
