Tom and Jerry Meet
Sherlock Holmes
Director: Spike Brandt, Jeff Siergey
Year: 2010
Rating: 6.0
My motto is anything Sherlock and apparently
that even includes cartoons from Warner Brothers. But it is Tom and Jerry
and only 45 minutes. It has three big voice actors - Michael York as Sherlock,
John Rhys-Davies as Watson and Malcolm McDowell as Moriarty. It is typical
Tom and Jerry wam bang wam tripping over everything and everything falling
on you silliness but it has a few comic notes. If I was 60 years younger,
I probably would have laughed more. Maybe a good vehicle to put your children
on the path to loving Holmes and Watson. Feline cat burglars are stealing
diamonds with topnotch technology and flying contraptions. Sherlock gets
a message delivered by Tom (that's the cat I think) that a performer at the
Nigel Bruce Theater needs his help. Along with his assistants Watson and
Jerry (the mouse if Tom is the cat) rushes off. She is the lovely Red singing
that great classic Bumbershoot Bumbershoot. She is being blackmailed and
Holmes immediately guesses as only he can that the jewel thieves are behind
it. But behind it all is of course Professor Moriarty with a diabolical plan
to steal the Crown Jewels! Dastardly.
