WHAT PARENTS NEED TO KNOW:
Parents need to know that Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is an animated musical movie in which Tom and Jerry, the perennial cartoon adversaries, function as sidekicks. Unlike some of the Tom and Jerry spoofs, in which the cat and mouse assume the identity of and parody well-known characters, this film has them befriending Charlie Bucket, the young hero of Roald Dahl's classic book, and trying to help him in his quest for a visit to the miraculous chocolate factory. The movie closely follows the traditional Willy Wonka story about the eccentric candy maker and the search for his golden tickets. And it includes many of the beloved songs from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the Gene Wilder theatrical adaptation from 1971. Tom and Jerry treat fans to their usual slapstick antics -- they're smashed, bonked, flattened, and constantly chasing or being chased by Spike as they hang out with Charlie and root for him. OK for kids who are comfortable with farcical cartoon violence, cats who lick their chops at the thought of a cute mouse dinner, and animation companies who capitalize on well-known material from other sources to reach their audience.
