TOM AND JERRY: A NUTCRACKER TALE (Released to DVD USA 2007)

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.9|5.0 Starsììì  Tom and Jerry: A Nutcracker Tale—cute, simple short film— may be more for children than adults. There are points within the story that lose pace but overall this 'toon' presents and portrays itself well and has interest built in due to great animation that contains just the right amount of color and noise.  Film Poster Courtesy of Google Images Storyline  Jerry Mouse wants to be in a ballet.  Additional Thanks   Thank you to Directors Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone for directing effort.

CATS AND DOGS 3: PAWS UNITE! (Theatrical Release Greece 2020)

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.4|5.0 Starsììì 

Cats and Dogs 3: Paws Unite!—low grade script—does not pack the entertainment value of the second film in the series, Cats and Dogs 2: Revenge of Kitty Galore. The storyline needs major buffing to work at the higher level. Young children may like the concept of animal cooperation, but the adult who is looking for a better movie for their children, choose Clifford the Big Red Dog (2021) over Cats and Dogs: Unite!.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? 

No. This movie can be skipped and replaced with Clifford the Big Red Dog (2021).  The Cats & Dogs 3: Paws Unite! portrayal and storyline need much improvement.
