“Tom And Jerry & The Wizard Of Oz” offers a strange yet surprisingly entertaining crossover between the loveable slapstick style of “Tom And Jerry” and the classic “The Wizard Of Oz”. This animated movie is basically like watching a film with everybody’s favourite cat and mouse duo with “Wizard Of Oz” being retold in the background.

Tom and Jerry live on a farm with Dorothy and her family. When a storm comes, Tom, Jerry and Dorothy all get whisked away into the magical fantasy land of Oz. Once there, they will encounter the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion. They will also have to defeat the rotten Wicked Witch of the West if they intend to get home.

Tom and Jerry’s slapstick comedy is still really enjoyable. Just like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, I could watch this comedy duo go at it for eternity. The “Wizard Of Oz” characters feel very one-dimensional as the focus is really on Tom and Jerry. This film really works on the basis that you already know the original film and characters so if you are unfamiliar with Scarecrow, Tin Man or any of the others, you’re not going to learn much about them here. I like the animation style and all the characters look great.

It’s not terrific by any means but it’s a fun way to spend an hour. It combines the laughable adventures of a great slapstick team with an unforgettable film classic. It really is like seeing two of your favourite things together even when you never even considered the pairing before. Tom and Jerry would go on to do crossovers with other franchises. If you love the old “Tom And Jerry” cartoons and you are love “Wizard Of Oz” then this is worth checking out. However, don’t watch this if you’re not already familiar with the original film.
