Tom & Jerry brings the classic cat-and-mouse rivalry into a modern New York hotel, where the pair's chaos threatens to derail a high-profile wedding.
What is Tom & Jerry about?
Tim Story's 2021 family adventure sends Tom the cat and Jerry the mouse from their usual haunts into a busy Manhattan hotel after they're evicted from their old home. Kayla, a new employee played by Chloë Grace Moretz, needs Jerry gone before a lavish wedding takes over the property, so she brings Tom in to handle the problem — a decision that predictably spirals into hotel-wide disorder. Michael Peña and Ken Jeong round out a hotel staff trying to keep the event on schedule while a live-action world collides with the animated antics of its two central characters.
About the cast
Chloë Grace Moretz leads the human cast as Kayla, alongside Michael Peña, Ken Jeong, Colin Jost, Rob Delaney and Christina Chong, while the film also credits the characters' creator William Hanna and original voice performer Mel Blanc, acknowledging Tom and Jerry's decades-long screen history.
Context & significance
Tom & Jerry mixes traditional animation for its title characters with live-action performers for the hotel staff and wedding party, a hybrid approach the franchise has used in various forms since the characters first appeared on screen generations ago. Set almost entirely within one Manhattan hotel over the run-up to a single wedding, the film keeps its setting compact while giving the slapstick room to escalate floor by floor. It's a family-oriented adventure comedy aimed squarely at viewers who grew up on the original shorts as well as younger audiences meeting the pair for the first time.
