Even as a spectacle for kids weaned on flashing lights and brainrot it is likely to be too jumbled and bewildering. As for the parent demographic, it will only appeal to that rare subset who actively dislike their children.

Watching this was like being shouted at by a hyperactive child while being simultaneously smashed over the head by a guide to the wonders of the Far East.

The fact it makes little sense doesn’t matter because it’s all about sensationalism, stimulating the amygdala with bright colours and noise to the point of overload.

Well, at least Tom & Jerry don’t talk and the film is, as far as I can tell, entirely Colin Jost-free

There’s plenty of noise included too, with "Forbidden Compass" working extremely hard to be a cartoony viewing experience featuring a lot of characters competing with Tom and Jerry to be the focal point of the picture.

if you're into Chinese mythology this film is for you. Tom and Jerry are just tacked onto this story. They serve no purpose in the plot. Save your money.

Not enough Tom and Jerry in the movie, was mostly about the deity characters, many long segments without the main characters. Animation was not matching the vocal soundtrack in some places. Was this originally only made in Chinese and not English? I missed the old show format. Was boring.

Opening scene and closing scene are closest to historic Tom & Jerry. Everything in between is purely in service to Chinese mythology. If you’re familiar with or enjoy Chinese mythology, this might be the movie for you. If you’re looking for a hit of Saturday morning Boomer nostalgia, look elsewhere. Can not recommend for those drawn in by love of Tom and Jerry.

This was not classic Tom and Jerry. I don’t know what this movie was or was about but I’d love to have a refund for all my tickets.
