Reception

edit

Jennifer Borget of Common Sense Media gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, saying "Though the cat and mouse aren't at each other's throats for the entirety of the movie, there's still plenty of silly slapstick violence and humor that those familiar with the franchise will expect... The story is nothing new, but it's cute enough, and it's less violent than some previous Tom and Jerry films."[6][7] Dillon Gonzales, writing for Geek Vibes Nation, gave the film a review saying "Tom & Jerry: Snowman’s Land is a pretty enjoyable entry from the long-running duo which feels right at home during this time of the year... If you want a lighthearted tale to get you into the holiday spirit, you could do worse."[8]
