Worst Movie of 2017 - Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - Film Review

If you saw that title and thought of another certain animated movie, let me say out loud: I am NOT reviewing The Emoji Movie. I don't want to see it or review it, I don't even want to acknowledge that thing's existence.

All good? OK, on to the review.

oh god, oh GOD. ohhhhh

I just watched  Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and my god it SUCKED!

This thing is pretty much just Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with Tom and Jerry thrown in so there's not much to say about the plot.

Warner Bros. need to know that most crossovers don't work. Scooby-Doo and Batman, Scooby-Doo and Kiss, Scooby-Doo and WWE, Scooby-Doo and WWE: Curse of the Speed Demon, The Flintstones and WWE, The Jetsons and WWE, Tom and Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes. I'm going to stop mentioning them here, I haven't seen any of them except this, but I haven't heard the most positive things.

I watched this thing online and I have to say:
1. If you're on a site that lets you watch free movies or cartoons, use Adblock, that's what I did.
2. 79 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

WWATCF is one of my all-time favorite films, I enjoy some of the Tom and Jerry shorts, however, the two do NOT go together.

The only thing I liked in the movie was that in the candy shop during the Candyman song, the guy working at the store accidentally hits the girl with the door on the counter and they put in a little sound effect. The song sounds pretty off by the way.

The boat ride from the original is in here, but it sucks. Instead of Wonka, it's Tuffy, that little grey mouse. He's trying to be an Oompa-Loompa but he doesn't meet the height requirements. We briefly see Loompaland for about two seconds, but it's nothing like this, and Wonka never tells the story of bringing them from there to the factory.

The song I Want it Now appears twice in the movie, the first by Slugworth but the lyrics are changed to talk about how he wants to take over the candy empire, and the second is a duet with him and Veruca during the mine cart scene with him, Spike, Tom, Jerry and Tuffy. Apparently Willy Wonka has a candy mine miles deep below the factory.

Oh, and Droopy's in this too, just because.

This film has more nightmare fuel than you would think. (the faces, oh god the faces,)

I don't want to talk anymore about this movie, it's the worst of 2017. I would rather watch that Johnny Depp thing over this.

Tomorrow I'm reviewing a much better (though extremely different) movie.

1/10
