Tom & Jerry[4] (marketed as Tom & Jerry: The Movie)[5] is a 2021 American live-action/computer-animated slapstick comedy film based on the titular cartoon characters of the same name created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, produced by the Warner Animation Group and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. It is the second theatrical film based on the characters following 1992's Tom and Jerry: The Movie. The film follows Tom being hired by a young employee named Kayla to exterminate Jerry, a mouse who takes refuge in New York City's fanciest hotel before his presence threatens the hotel and its important wedding set to take place on the hotel grounds.
The film is directed by Tim Story and written by Kevin Costello.[6] It stars Chloë Grace Moretz, Michael Peña, Colin Jost, Rob Delaney, Pallavi Sharda, Jordan Bolger, Patsy Ferran, and Ken Jeong in live-action roles, with Nicky Jam, Bobby Cannavale, and Lil Rel Howery in voice roles. The titular characters are voiced by William Hanna, Mel Blanc and June Foray via archival recordings, alongside Frank Welker, Kaiji Tang and André Sogliuzzo (though the characters are listed as themselves in the credits). Originally announced as a live-action/computer-animated film in 2009, the film languished in development hell for several years. Plans eventually shifted to producing an entirely animated film, in 2015. The film again became a live-action/animated hybrid in 2018, with animation produced by the Warner Animation Group, and filming beginning in 2019.[7]
Tom & Jerry was theatrically released by Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States on February 26, 2021 (along with a one-month simultaneous streaming release on HBO Max), grossing over $132 million on a $79 million budget. It received generally negative reviews from critics, who criticized the human characters and screenplay, but credited the film for its sense of nostalgia.[8]
