Tom & Jerry The Movie - Pretty bad game. It's like 15-20 minutes long, that's it. Five short, unchallenging stages, sometimes with a boss at the end if you failed to catch Jerry before the end. Poor controls, as controlling Tom is quite stiff. No enemies except Jerry (who you chase through the levels) and the bosses -- the only obstacles are spike pits and Jerry's bombs and mines and such. The latter element is a little amusing, and it is good that they tried to make it a "chase" game considering that Tom & Jerry is a chase cartoon, but... no. The bad controls, exceptionally short length, frustration (because of the controls and limited movement, and because Jerry is always like two steps in front of you but you will only rarely catch him...), very repetitive stages (each area almost feels like one looping screen... oh, the platforms and pits appear in different places as you move forward, but nothing else changes. Boring!), and more decidedly earn this game a pretty low score. People who paid a full $30 for this must have felt ripped off...
