Tom et Jerry: Élémentaire mon cher Jerry

Okay so Tom and Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes. Second Spike Brandt film. I enjoyed it more than the last movie he made with Joseph Barbera. The plot is pretty self explanatory; A mysterious jewel thief and his gang steal the treasures around the Scotland Yard. Red is framed for the crime and it is up to Tom and Jerry to solve the case. Your typical mystery to be fair but again, enjoyable to watch. No need to talk about the quality because it is the same as the first film. At this point, I won't mention quality too much unless I see errors. The writing, not too bad. The setting in the beginning started off good and then it got a lot better throughout the film. The acting with it makes you sit in your seat more, pretty much reading a mystery novel of Sherlock Holmes only it has comedy. Unfortunately... I only have a few characters I enjoyed in the film. Red, gotta admit, sexy character and I love her singing. Jerry is pretty much likable throughout the movie. His wits and his crime solving pretty much put the pieces of the puzzle within the movie together rather than being a mess of just constant cat and mouse chase. The villain, Professor Moriarty was wicked like, I love his design and his invention that would allow him to shoot voltage beams at his foes and his master plans- I won't spoil but pretty much let you decide on it. Soundtrack- eh, I think one or two background instrumentals were okay and Red's song is catchy but the second time- not much. Furthermore, this movie is a solid 50 like I think it is okay. You like Sherlock Holmes and Tom and Jerry, then this is the movie for you.

This movie's pacing is really good, and I loved that "Bambashoo" song with the umbrella in the middle, which was an actually good song. The best part however is the climax, which is just way too good, especially with the awesome background music.
