Tom and Jerry Trailer- Warner Brothers Pictures:

Tom and Jerry Synopsis:
When Jerry moves into NewYork City’s finest hotel on the eve of “the celebrity wedding of the century,” the event’s planner Kayla hires Tom to get rid of him, Of course chaos ensues. The duo’s classic battles threaten to destroy Kayla’s career along with the wedding and the Royal Gate Hotel as well. When push comes to shove can these rivals get along long enough to salvage the day?
Nonspoiler Tom and Jerry Review:
If you were a Tom and Jerry fan as a kid you are going to love this beautifully animated blend of classic animation and live action adventure. Tom and Jerry’s antics are as epic as ever. Tim Story has taken the classic cat and mouse game and upped it to hurricane force levels. (You’ll appreciate that reference even more once you watch the film).
This is the film classic animation fans have been waiting for. The colorful animation bursts off the screen yet blends in seamlessly within live-action New York City. The animated characters feel natural in the “real world.”
Tim Story’s Tom and Jerry is a nostalgia filled, action packed thrill ride down memory lane. It pays homage to Hanna Barbera’s classic cartoon with a modern vibe. The film is high in style and chock full of chaotic mischief. Watch out die-hard fans, I have a feeling we are about to be pounced on by a whole new generation of Tom and Jerry groupies.
