Tom & Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes DVD Review

Warner Brothers is about to release a brand-new, full-length animated adventure, Tom and Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes, which comes out on DVD on August 24th. I remember when I was a kid, I spent hours upon hours watching Tom & Jerry. I loved the silly situations they got themselves into to....and trying to get out of. When I was given the opportunity to review this new movie with some classic characters from my childhood, I jumped at it.

"Tom and Jerry set out on one of their biggest adventures yet when they
visit London to help solve a series of jewelry heists that leave Scotland Yard
completely befuddled and a beautiful singer named Red framed for the crimes.
However, it’s going to take one of history’s greatest fictional detectives,
Sherlock Holmes along with his loyal assistant Dr. Watson, to find the real
thief.

The renowned crime-fighting team is joined by another world-famous duo, the lovable, ever-squabbling Tom and Jerry. Little do they know that finding clues and cracking the case will be elementary compared to keeping the peace between the raucous cat and mouse as they scamper, scurry, scoot and speed along the streets, alleys and rooftops in the name of justice.

Tom and Jerry’s favorite pals, including Tuffy the mouse, Butch the dog, Droopy and others, round out the motley crew of characters and possible suspects in this brilliant fusion of classic detection and energetic animation".



I sat down to watch Tom & Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes with both of my boys, who both absolutely loved it. We received this DVD about a week ago and have watched it at least 40 times since then. We've seen the commercial on Boomerang for this movie a few times, so as soon as I took it out of the package, my older son knew exactly what it was. Both kids are now obsessed with Tom, Jerry and especially Butch. The movie ran for just less than an hour, so it was just the right length to keep the kids occupied without them getting bored.

Remember, Tom & Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes is due to be released nationwide on 8/24 and will be available wherever Warner Brothers films are sold. You can pre-order this DVD on Amazon right now, though!

Big thanks to the folks at Warner Brothers for the opportunity to review Tom & Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes with my children. I love that they are re-introducing characters from my childhood to the next generation.
