Well, I would certainly pick the Fantastic Four & Shaft director for
Tom & Jerry; it's obvious!

I wouldn't have high hopes anyway. Even Chuck Jones couldn't get Tom & Jerry
right after Hannah & Barbera left MGM.

Don't forget FF2: "The Silver Surfer Has Ears"

"Oscar the Grouch"? You mean the man in the bin? Also, I hope Matt Vogel figures out how not to make Big Bird sound like a dumb hick by then.

And in response to the Tom and Jerry news, Disney has fast-tracked a movie adaption of the cartoon-within-a-cartoon from the Simpsons universe, Itchy & Scratchy. They now own the rights to the characters thanks to the 20th Century Fox acquisition. Another Simpsons spinoff movie, Radioactive Man, is also in the works, which reportedly will be integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. IT'S TROO!!!!

/Arrival/ was a well-enough-done film whose major defect was its
insistence that what viewers /really/ wanted to hear were the
machinery noises, making too much of the dialog unintelligible.

Except in the trailer: there the dialog could actually be heard.

This was not the /only/ film whose creators made this decision.

A Sesame Street film with dialog drowned out by machine noises. I
think I'll pass.
