Tom and Jerry, the famous cartoon cat-and-mouse duo, have stopped fighting each other for a change. Their friend, the young girl Robyn, has been kidnapped, and it's up to them to rescue her. Starting out in the suburbs, the cat and mouse team must make their way through eight stages of platform action, moving through the city and into the mountains, all the while collecting fish and cheese, and finding occasional footballs to take out their enemies. The game can be played single-player, solo as Tom, or two-player simultaneous with Tom and Jerry teaming up.

Tom and Jerry: Frantic Antics! is a mediocre Game Boy platformer that fails to capture the charm of its source material. The level design is repetitive with frustrating platforming sections, and the controls feel stiff. The constant need to collect items for health and weapons further hampers the gameplay. While some younger players might find enjoyment in the familiar characters, most will be disappointed by the clunky mechanics and repetitive design.
Juego divertido con buena jugabilidad, se compone básicamente de laberintos en los que hay que encontrar ciertos artículos en contra reloj, se intercala entre Tom y Jerry el pasar de los niveles, en general un buen juego.
I had this game as a kid (mainly because I had the movie) and found it utterly frustrating, then many years later I revisited it, still found it frustrating and then beat it purely out of spite LOL
As a kid I never got passed the first level and figured it was too hard for me. As an adult I made it to level three — a library filled with rats carrying shotguns who want you dead at all costs — and realized the game was actually just bad.
Just as generic as the SNES platformer except unlike that one, Frantic Antics has the added bonus of being based on one of the worst animated movies ever made which doubles the pain, yaaaayyy!
Never have the words "We've got to have... monneeeyyy!" rang so true.

I love how Tom and Jerry: The Movie was such a commercial and critical flop that the developers of this game had to hastily retool the box art and the name of this game in order to distance themselves from the movie that this game was supposed to advertise. Imagine a licensed movie game so embarrassed that it's a licensed movie game that it pretends to be something else, even though the movie's characters and locations are all in the game. Incredible. (This story, not the game. The game is bad.)
