With a strong comic book, the actor manages to have fun even in his lines which are not exactly funny. To compose the main plot, Michael Peña plays the role of the antagonist Terrance very well. The character has to prove to himself and to others that he is capable and efficient in his tasks and, when working in a hotel after stealing the CV of a highly qualified candidate, intersects his goal with classic rivalry of the duo which gives the film its name, which gives rise to all the conflicts of the work. The young actress, famous mainly for bringing Hit-Girl to life in Kick Ass, manages to support the film’s story well.
In that direction, we have the main character of the film: Kayla, played by Chloë Grace Moretz. In the film, the tone (with the pun’s forgiveness) is much lighter, with language easily accessible to children. Tom & Jerry has often been associated with politically incorrect content.
Tom & Jerry’s drawing can easily reach an audience, at least a teenager, due to its more acidic language at different times and its subliminal messages which are only clear as the person ages, with some life experience. It sounds like an obvious find, but it doesn’t have to be. For children, this probably won’t be a problem.Īnother point regarding viewers is that the film is clearly aimed at children. Here, there is already a first break with the slightly older audience, who tend to have a harder time immersing themselves in this world. The interaction between the real and animated characters does not feel organic compared to the three examples shown. Despite the similarity in structure, in Tom & Jerry, the junction of these two worlds does not work so well. The work mixes animation and live-action, as has happened in other productions such as Uma Cilada Para Roger Rabbit (1988), Space Jam (1996) and, more recently, Sonic (2020). This time, the spotlight is even stronger, as the audience can now follow an adventure through a film. Even after so many years, the history of the famous duo has remained in the spotlight decade after decade, winning the affection of generations. Screwy Squirrel is now voiced by Paul Reubens and Meathead is voiced by John DiMaggio.Tom & Jerry, the classic cartoon created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and with its first showing in 1940, has been released in theaters. In 2013, both Meathead and Screwy Squirrel make appearances as residents of "Fairy Land" in Tom and Jerry's Giant Adventure retaining most of their traits. On April Fools' Day, 1997, Cartoon Network ran an edited version (minus one blackface gag) of the 1944 Screwy Squirrel cartoon Happy-Go-Nutty repeatedly from 6 AM to 6 PM, as part of an April Fool's joke that the cartoon character had taken over the channel. "Screwball" himself wore a T-shirt and, much of the time, a Napoleon hat. The new cartoons featured the character's name as Screwball-never Screwy-and pitted him not against Meathead, but a pair of typical Hanna-Barbera authority figures, human park attendant Dweeble and his oafish dog Rumply. Hanna Barbera resurrected Screwy in new animation for the Droopy, Master Detective Saturday morning cartoon on Fox Kids in 1993-1994. Detective of the Stars? Chilly Willy, or Screwy Squirrel?"
Screwy is also mockingly mentioned as one of Eddie Valiant's bar patrons by Angelo: "Who's your client, Mr.
Maroon's Cartoon Studio in the film's beginning. The final cartoon in the series, Lonesome Lenny, a broad parody of the characters of George and Lenny from the John Steinbeck novel Of Mice and Men, ended with a joking reference to indicate that Screwy had been crushed to death by his antagonist, who commented "You know, I had a little friend once, but he don't move no more."īoth Screwy and his adversary Meathead Dog make a cameo appearance in the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit: Screwy appears on a picture hanging in Lena Hyena's room, while Meathead is seen sniffing around at R.
