Available Today on DVD -- Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (Review)

Disclosure:  Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the DVD I reviewed in this blog post.  The opinions I share are my own.




I have been looking forward to this new Warner Bros. Home Entertainment release for a couple months now, as I couldn't wait to sit down with the girls and share a fun animated version of the family favorite, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I have tried to show them the original movie but because it wasn't animated, they thought it was a big person's movie and didn't to sit for it.  So, when I heard there would be an animated retelling of this movie and would include everyone's favorite cat and mouse duo, Tom & Jerry, I knew the girls would want to sit for it, as they love all things Tom & Jerry.  

Here is more about the new Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, which is available in stores and online today....

About this new original movie:

First, check out this fun trailer, that will bring back childhood memories from when you used to gather around the television to watch Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with your family.  I couldn't help but smile as I watched the trailer, as it had all my favorite parts of the movie in it.  



"The world-famous chocolatier, Willy Wonka, meets the rambunctious cat and mouse duo, Tom and Jerry, in Warner Bros. Home Entertainment’s (WBHE) release of Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the brand-new animated family film available on DVD July 11, 2017. Based on the beloved children’s book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl, and the iconic musical family film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, this fun, new adaptation adds Tom and Jerry’s entertaining antics to the classic story of young Charlie Bucket’s unforgettable visit to Willy Wonka’s marvelous chocolate factory.

Don't think that this is just a retelling of the classic Willy Wonka movie.  It isn't a Tom & Jerry movie without their hijinks and this movie is filled with their comical cat and mouse antics. Just check out the clip below to see what I am talking about.




What I love about this movie is it an animated version of one of my favorite childhood movies, paired with one of my favorite cartoons.  What more could you ask for! :-)



I loved this movie, and so did my girls.  We have only had this DVD for a short time, but we have already seen it half a dozen times, and the girls keep asking for it.  It is also a perfect movie to bring in the car for car rides as it keeps the girls entertained and not asking "Are we there yet?".  

If you are looking for a fun movie to share with your family for family movie night, or need a movie for an upcoming long car ride with the kids, then why not pick up this new release today.  It is one movie kids and adults will enjoy.
