Tom & Jerry Around the World DVD Review

Tom & Jerry Around the World is coming to DVD May 8th.  This DVD features Tom and Jerry and their usual hijinks but out of  their usual environment.

Additional information:

It’s bon voyage for Tom and Jerry as they duke it out as competing street performers in the Big Apple in Way-Off Broadway. Tom chases Jerry through the streets of Naples in Neapolitan Mouse. In Flamenco Fiasco, the dueling duo finds itself in Spain where Tom shows off his fancy footwork as he engages in a very competitive Flamenco dance competition. It’s a trip Down Under in Kangadoofus where Jerry takes refuge with a kangaroo mother and her joeys in an effort to ditch Tom.  In Freaky Tiki, it’s “Aloha” for Tom and Jerry as they relax on a Hawaiian beach and find themselves entering an active volcano where they encounter Pele, the goddess of flames. Next it’s off to Tinseltown where Tom conducts a symphony orchestra in Tom & Jerry in the Hollywood Bowl. These and several other captivating adventures are featured on this must-own release.

My Thoughts:

While I didn't get to see this one personally my kids grabbed it for their Friday night movie in their room.  My middle son Xan actually stayed up and I had to tell him to go to bed.  I don't think he ever stays up past 9:30 ~ we joke that he is our lightweight when it comes to going to bed! LOL!  The boys liked this title so much that they took it on their vacation with Dad (fishing) too!  If that isn't a testimony I don't know what is!

You can purchase Tom & Jerry Around the World wherever DVDs are sold or get your copy on Amazon.com.
