About Tom & Jerry
Displaced from their usual haunts, Tom and Jerry slip into a glamorous New York hotel just as a high profile wedding looms over the building. Kayla Forrester, a hardworking employee who fears losing her job, sees a chance to clear the mouse by hiring Tom to remove Jerry. What follows is a whirlwind of carpeted chases, mistaken identities, and elaborate set pieces that pull guests and staff into a riotous whirlwind. The hotel becomes a stage for chaos where plans unravel in real time and every prank seems to escalate the situation. The two rivals collide with the wedding party, the lines between foe and ally blur, turning a routine eviction into a comic scramble that tests improvisation and timing.
Directed by Tim Story, this hybrid live action animated feature draws on the classic Hanna Barbera duo created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. It updates the chase for modern audiences while preserving the cartoon energy.
Box office numbers placed the film in a solid position with audiences worldwide, underscoring the enduring appeal of Tom and Jerry beyond the small screen. The movie performed respectably relative to its modest budget.
Critics offered mixed verdicts, praising the fast paced gags and the decision to adapt familiar characters for a family friendly theater experience while noting uneven tonal shifts and the heavy reliance on slapstick. The film leans into chaos, resilience, and teamwork.
What Viewers Are Saying
Viewers find the 2021 "Tom & Jerry" movie to be a mixed bag, with some appreciation for its bright animation and goofy live-action performances. However, many feel it lacks the spirit and quick-paced slapstick comedy of the original cartoons, with a heavier focus on human characters rather than Tom and Jerry themselves. Audiences note that the story feels clichéd and the film struggles to capture the charm that made the classic shorts beloved. Overall, it may entertain younger viewers but disappoints longtime fans seeking the original magic.
