The original cartoon would suddenly become the inspiration for a viable and faithful Tom and Jerry movie. Imagine "Treasure Island" by way of the duo, or even Pirates of the Caribbean. The race is on and Tom and Jerry must work together to get past coconut-throwing monkeys and a giant, slimy octopus, then outsmart the pirates to find the buried treasure.īetween the High Seas and Sherwood Forest, the Shiver Me Whiskers and Merry Mouse opportunities seem endless, and that's because they are. But poor little Jerry has been guarding the treasure map and now has a greedy cat on his paws. Tired of swabbing the deck all day, Tom thinks his luck has changed when a mysterious bottle containing a treasure map washes on board. It's a swashbuckling pirate adventure when Tom sets sail as a lowly cabin cat for the biggest, baddest pirate on the high seas: the infamous Captain Red (Kevin Michael Richardson). In place of "extended," though, put "stretched so thin it tears apart within minutes," and in place of "a cartoon," put "a cartoon loosely based on the Tom and Jerry shorts of old." I'd even go so far as to say each one feels like little more than an extended episode of a cartoon. But like the classic characters' latest outing, Tom and Jerry's Giant Adventure, both movies struggle to connect and, ultimately, justify their feature-length existence. Shiver and Hood are better than most, I'll grant you, offering the pair more screentime and a more crucial role to play in each adventure. The cat and mouse duo simply aren't the stars of the story. The problem with the recent string of Tom and Jerry original animated movies comes to bear on Shiver Me Whiskers (2006) and Robin Hood and His Merry Mouse (2012), despite their productions being separated by six years.
