Go To

  • Best Known for the Fanservice: If you're an adult viewer, chances are you're primarily watching for Red.
  • Evil Is Cool: Moriarty (both in his masked rider garb and with his powered gauntlets) and his hang-gliding (literal) cat burglar henchmen manage to look quite impressive.
  • Heartwarming Moment:
    • After Jerry is captured by the henchmen, Tom springs into action to save him.
    • Droopy getting the reward for cracking the case.
  • Magnificent Bastard: Professor Moriarty is once again the brilliant Arch-Enemy of Sherlock Holmes, depicted here as a skilled steampunk inventor. Planning to steal the riches of the Tower of London, Moriarty has his cat henchmen go on a robbing spree and steal diamonds from stores and museums using his creations, while leaving clues implicating singer Red as the culprit. Intentionally getting Holmes involved just to get rid of him, Moriarty sets up one robbery with a series of clues that lead the detective in a literal wild goose chase. Upon being found out by Tom and Jerry, Moriarty captures them via booby traps and reveals his scheme: use the diamonds to power a makeshift solar laser, hire someone to place mirrors that lead to the Tower of London, and blow a hole in it so that he and his goons can steal the riches. Even after Tom, Jerry and Tuffy escape and Holmes gets involved again, Moriarty manages to fight them using his inventions, only being thwarted by his carriage being thrown off a bridge into water.
  • So Okay, It's Average: How a lot of people feel about this movie. Some people consider it a bit of a downgrade over the previous film, though nearly everyone considers it better than a certain catastrophe (granted, that's not really saying much...). It's rotten tomatoes score of 57% is actually pretty respectable, but lower than the films right before and right after it.
  • Tough Act to Follow: This film received more mixed reactions compared to Tom and Jerry: A Nutcracker Tale and Tom and Jerry Tales, with many citing the titular characters not doing much as its main flaw.
