Digging Deeper
One of the most beloved rivalries in history is reignited when Jerry moves into New York City’s finest hotel on the eve of “the wedding of the century,” forcing the event’s desperate planner to hire Tom to get rid of him, in director Tim Story’s Tom & Jerry. The ensuing cat and mouse battle threatens to destroy her career, the wedding and possibly the hotel itself, but soon, an even bigger problem arises: a diabolically ambitious staffer conspiring against all three of them.
An eye-popping blend of classic animation and live action, Tom and Jerry’s new big-screen adventure stakes new ground for the iconic characters and forces them to do the unthinkable… work together to save the day.
Similar to such other films as SCOOB, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Alvin & the Chipmunks, please find more details about this new film below.
Running Time: 101 minutes

THREE MESSAGES THE FILM BRINGS HOME:

- The movie is DELIGHTFUL FUN: PHYSICAL COMEDY BALANCED WITH CLEVER HUMOR.
- TOM & JERRY IS CONTEMPORIZED FOR TODAY’S AUDIENCE by being set in the real world of New York alongside human characters to provide a contemporary, cool quotient and cultural relevance.
