User Reviews

Fanboys step down it's a cartoon.

So first, I love the original film even if Roald Dhal didn't. Tom and Jerry too. I even seen the West End show in London, which wasn't great.

Now step off the high horses keyboard warriors, this is a nice movie for kids.

The best thing about this film is it brings the old songs from the original film with it. The animation was very good, at times yes you can get frustrated but then again, the movie is aimed at KIDS. If you have any children watch it with them, remember it's for them. You will like it even if you do hate it.
