{{Blockquote|Working on ''Tom and Jerry'' was a hugely exciting and intimidating experience. There's a reason these characters are still so popular, 81 years later, all over the world, and I wanted to be extremely careful to honor that. Tom and Jerry had to be themselves, look like themselves, not talk like themselves, and obviously, engage in absurd, gleeful, over-the-top cartoon violence. I had so much fun going through [[Tom and Jerry filmography|the old shorts]], trying to break everything down on a character level, and finding ways to recontextualize classic elements in a way that felt nostalgic but new.|author=Kevin Costello}}

For the film's production design, production designer James Hambidge went for a color palette that would avoid causing the animated characters' colors to clash with it.

Animation services were provided by [[Framestore]], who hired 3D animators with a passion for 2D animation for the project. The strategy the animators used was to base the animation off a stylized 3D/CGI VFX modeling medium through a vintage 2D finish by creating innovative rigging, animation techniques used to create 2D animation, and custom tools such as lighting and rendering, resulting in the film's 3D/CGI animation maintaining the look, feel, and spirit of 2D animation, in the vein of the original classic shorts in the 1940s and 1950s, to pay even greater homage to what the cartoons have always been.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.slashfilm.com/tom-and-jerry-featurette-2d/|title='Tom & Jerry' Featurette: Why Tom and Jerry Had to Retain Their 2D Looks in a 3D World|date=February 17, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=The 'Tom & Jerry' Feature Team Proves Filmmakers Can Get Creative in Global Lockdown|url=https://www.indiewire.com/2020/04/tom-jerry-movie-coronavirus-quarantine-warner-bros-1202224214/|website=[[IndieWire]]|date=April 10, 2020|access-date=April 11, 2020|archive-date=November 17, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201117200810/https://www.indiewire.com/2020/04/tom-jerry-movie-coronavirus-quarantine-warner-bros-1202224214/|url-status=live}}</ref> The animators also used early ''Tom and Jerry'' shorts from the '40s and '50s as reference and inspiration for the animation sequences.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.cartoonbrew.com/vfx/coronavirus-stories-how-animators-on-the-upcoming-tom-and-jerry-feature-are-staying-connected-191082.html |title=Quarantine Chronicles: How Animators On The Upcoming 'Tom And Jerry' Feature Are Staying Connected |date=May 8, 2020 |access-date=December 12, 2020 |archive-date=November 30, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201130192846/https://www.cartoonbrew.com/vfx/coronavirus-stories-how-animators-on-the-upcoming-tom-and-jerry-feature-are-staying-connected-191082.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Work on the animation was done remotely during the pandemic, with the filmmakers doing creative exploration on certain shots, and finalizing material through production groups.<ref>{{Cite web|first=Anthony|last=D'Alessandro|title=How Animated Pics Like 'Tom & Jerry', 'SpongeBob Movie', 'Sing 2', Skydance's 'Luck' & More Are Working Through The COVID-19 Crisis|url=https://deadline.com/2020/05/animated-movies-coronavirus-production-tom-and-jerry-spongebob-scoob-skydance-illumination-1202928961/|date=May 8, 2020|website=[[Deadline Hollywood]]|publisher=[[Penske Media Corporation|Penske Business Media, LLC]]|access-date=June 25, 2020|archive-date=May 13, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200513030248/https://deadline.com/2020/05/animated-movies-coronavirus-production-tom-and-jerry-spongebob-scoob-skydance-illumination-1202928961/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="COVID-19"/> Numerous animators who worked on films like ''Who Framed Roger Rabbit'' and ''Space Jam'' have also been involved with the animation of the movie.<ref name="snaptaste.com"/>

After Tom's [[Electric keyboard|piano]] is destroyed in an altercation, he chases Jerry, but accidentally tackles a young woman named Kayla Forester, causing her to lose her job. Down on her luck, Kayla wants to prove her talents and looks for a position at the city's fanciest hotel, the Royal Gate, where Jerry moves in and Tom fails to break in. Kayla, with a stolen [[Curriculum vitae|resume]], is hired to help plan a high-profile wedding and gets a tour of the hotel, while Jerry's usual antics involve stealing food and items to ramp up his new home, and Tom plans more strategies to enter the hotel and capture Jerry. Local celebrities Preeta Mehta and her fiancé Ben are greeted, as they arrive, along with their pet dog [[Spike (Tom and Jerry)|Spike]] and cat [[List of Tom and Jerry characters#Toots|Toots]]. All, except for Spike, are unaware of Jerry stealing from Preeta's handbag. As the couple and their pets are escorted to their room, Jerry's presence is revealed, which puts the wedding and the hotel at risk. Kayla offers to catch Jerry, but fails and realizes that he will be hard to catch. After many failed attempts, Tom successfully enters the hotel, and his ensuing chase after Jerry wrecks a hotel room. Due to noise complaints, Kayla comes to check and befriends Tom, due to their shared goal of catching Jerry. The hotel's owner and general manager Mr. Dubros hires Tom to exterminate Jerry, while Tom and Kayla's boss Terence threatens to fire them if Tom cannot catch Jerry. After more failed attempts, Tom designs an [[Rube Goldberg machine|elaborate mouse trap]] that gets Jerry out of the hotel. Meanwhile, Kayla helps with the wedding plans and learns that Preeta's engagement ring is missing. Jerry returns, to clash with Tom on the piano, and reveals to Kayla that he had Preeta's ring and agrees to give it back to her in exchange for letting him live in the hotel. Before Kayla can agree, Terence returns from walking Spike and notices Tom looking for Jerry hiding in Kayla's coat pocket, creating a scene that causes Spike, Tom, and Jerry's chase to destroy the lobby. Terence is suspended, while Kayla is promoted to event manager, for returning Preeta's ring. Kayla tells Tom and Jerry that they will have to get along and spend the next day bonding if they want to stay in the hotel, to which they reluctantly agree. While Kayla takes care of the hotel and manages the wedding with the crew, Tom and Jerry explore the city, but are imprisoned at a pound, after inadvertently committing [[fan interference]] on a baseball game. A vengeful Terence separately visits Tom and Jerry and feeds them lies about what they said about each other behind their backs, inciting them to a battle at the ceremony that throws the wedding into carnage and destroys the rest of the hotel. After Kayla comes clean and leaves in disgrace, Terence evicts Tom, and Preeta renounces the wedding. Realizing that it is their fault, Tom and Jerry put their differences aside, and convince Kayla and the hotel crew, including a skeptical Terence, to salvage the wedding. The pair lure Preeta and Toots to Central Park, where the wedding is held.

Pictures in the United States on February 26, 2021, alongside a one-month streaming release on [[HBO Max]]. The film had grossed $136.5 million worldwide, on a $50‒79 million production budget.<ref name="NUM">{{cite The Numbers |id=Tom-and-Jerry-(2020)#tab=international |title=Tom & Jerry (2021) - Financial Information |access-date=June 11, 2021 }}</ref><ref name="BOM">{{cite Box Office Mojo |id=1361336 |title=Tom & Jerry (2021) |access-date=July 18, 2021 }}</ref> It received generally negative reviews from critics, who criticized the screenplay for its human cast and lack of ambition. == Plot == <!-- [[WP:FILMPLOT]], plot summaries for feature films should be between 400 and 700 words. --> A cat named [[Tom Cat|Tom]], who dreams of being a jazz pianist, moves to [[New York City|New York]] and [[Street performance|buskes]] in [[Central Park]], while a mouse named [[Jerry Mouse|Jerry]] is in search of a new home. After Tom's [[Electric keyboard|piano]] is destroyed in an altercation, he chases Jerry, but accidentally tackles a young woman named Kayla Forester, causing her to lose her job. Down on her luck, Kayla wants to prove her talents and looks for a position at the city's fanciest hotel, the Royal Gate, where Jerry moves in and Tom fails to break in. Kayla, with a stolen [[Curriculum vitae|resume]], is hired to help plan a high-profile wedding and gets a tour of the hotel, while Jerry's usual antics involve stealing food and items to ramp up his new home, and Tom plans more strategies to enter the hotel and capture Jerry. Local celebrities Preeta Mehta and her fiancé Ben are greeted, as they arrive, along with their pet dog [[Spike (Tom and Jerry)|Spike]] and cat [[List of Tom and Jerry characters#Toots|Toots]]. All, except for Spike, are unaware of Jerry stealing from Preeta's handbag. As the couple and their pets are escorted to their room, Jerry's presence is revealed, which puts the wedding and the hotel at risk. Kayla offers to catch Jerry, but fails and realizes that he will be hard to catch. After many failed attempts, Tom successfully enters the hotel, and his ensuing chase after Jerry wrecks a hotel room. Due to noise complaints, Kayla comes to check and befriends Tom, due to their shared goal of catching Jerry. The hotel's owner and general manager Mr. Dubros hires Tom to exterminate Jerry, while Tom and Kayla's boss Terence threatens to fire them if Tom cannot catch Jerry. After more failed attempts, Tom designs an [[Rube Goldberg machine|elaborate mouse trap]] that gets Jerry out of the hotel. Meanwhile, Kayla helps with the wedding plans and learns that Preeta's engagement ring is missing. Jerry returns, to clash with Tom on the piano, and reveals to Kayla that he had Preeta's ring and agrees to give it back to her in exchange for letting him live in the hotel. Before Kayla can agree, Terence returns from walking Spike and notices Tom looking for Jerry hiding in Kayla's coat pocket, creating a scene that causes Spike, Tom, and Jerry's chase to destroy the lobby. Terence is suspended, while Kayla is promoted to event manager, for returning Preeta's ring. Kayla tells Tom and Jerry that they will have to get along and spend the next day bonding if they want to stay in the hotel, to which they reluctantly agree. While Kayla takes care of the hotel and manages the wedding with the crew, Tom and Jerry explore the city, but are imprisoned at a pound, after inadvertently committing [[fan interference]] on a baseball game. A vengeful Terence separately visits Tom and Jerry and feeds them lies about what they said about each other behind their backs, inciting them to a battle at the ceremony that throws the wedding into carnage and destroys the rest of the hotel. After Kayla comes clean and leaves in disgrace, Terence evicts Tom, and Preeta renounces the wedding. Realizing that it is their fault, Tom and Jerry put their differences aside, and convince Kayla and the hotel crew, including a skeptical Terence, to salvage the wedding. The pair lure Preeta and Toots to Central Park, where the wedding is held. Kayla promises to Preeta that Tom and Jerry have atoned for their behavior, and Ben apologizes to Preeta for his extensive expenses, in light of impressing her father. Kayla and the stolen resume's owner reconcile with each other and get jobs at the hotel, while Tom finally becomes a jazz pianist and plays the piano for Toots, with Jerry joining the party until a mishap causes them to fight again. In a [[post-credit scene]], Ben receives a bill for both weddings. == Cast == <!--- Roles per opening title cards --> *[[Chloë Grace Moretz]] as Kayla Judith Forester, a young wedding planner of the Royal Gate Hotel who enlists Tom to remove Jerry before the wedding *[[Michael Peña]] as Terence Mendoza, the event manager of the Royal Gate Hotel and Kayla's boss. *[[Colin Jost]] as Ben, the groom of the Royal Gate Hotel's planned wedding and Spike's owner. *[[Rob Delaney]] as Mr. Henry Dubros, the wealthy general manager and owner of the Royal Gate Hotel. *[[Pallavi Sharda]] as Preeta Mehta, the bride of the wedding, and Toots' owner. *[[Jordan Bolger]] as Cameron, a bartender at the Royal Gate Hotel. *[[Patsy Ferran]] as Joy the Bell Girl, a awkward Royal Gate Hotel [[bellhop]]. *[[Ken Jeong]] as Chef Jackie, a chef and baker of the Royal Gate Hotel who hates mice. *[[Paolo Bonolis]] as Wedding guest. *[[Ozuna]] as Assistant hotel staff. <!-- end opening title cards --> === Voice and animated cast === {{main|List of Tom and Jerry characters}} <!-- closing title cards --> * [[Tom Cat|Tom]] as a cat who dreams of being a pianist and is enlisted by Kayla to get Jerry out of the Royal Gate Hotel.

After Tom's <a href="/wiki/Electric_keyboard" class="mw-redirect" title="Electric keyboard">piano</a> is destroyed in an altercation, he chases Jerry, but accidentally tackles a young woman named Kayla Forester, causing her to lose her job. Down on her luck, Kayla wants to prove her talents and looks for a position at the city's fanciest hotel, the Royal Gate, where Jerry moves in and Tom fails to break in. Kayla, with a stolen <a href="/wiki/Curriculum_vitae" title="Curriculum vitae">resume</a>, is hired to help plan a high-profile wedding and gets a tour of the hotel, while Jerry's usual antics involve stealing food and items to ramp up his new home, and Tom plans more strategies to enter the hotel and capture Jerry. </p><p>Local celebrities Preeta Mehta and her fiancé Ben are greeted, as they arrive, along with their pet dog <a href="/wiki/Spike_(Tom_and_Jerry)" class="mw-redirect" title="Spike (Tom and Jerry)">Spike</a> and cat <a href="/wiki/List_of_Tom_and_Jerry_characters#Toots" title="List of Tom and Jerry characters">Toots</a>. All, except for Spike, are unaware of Jerry stealing from Preeta's handbag. As the couple and their pets are escorted to their room, Jerry's presence is revealed, which puts the wedding and the hotel at risk. Kayla offers to catch Jerry, but fails and realizes that he will be hard to catch. After many failed attempts, Tom successfully enters the hotel, and his ensuing chase after Jerry wrecks a hotel room. Due to noise complaints, Kayla comes to check and befriends Tom, due to their shared goal of catching Jerry. The hotel's owner and general manager Mr. Dubros hires Tom to exterminate Jerry, while Tom and Kayla's boss Terence threatens to fire them if Tom cannot catch Jerry. </p><p>After more failed attempts, Tom designs an <a href="/wiki/Rube_Goldberg_machine" title="Rube Goldberg machine">elaborate mouse trap</a> that gets Jerry out of the hotel. Meanwhile, Kayla helps with the wedding plans and learns that Preeta's engagement ring is missing. Jerry returns, to clash with Tom on the piano, and reveals to Kayla that he had Preeta's ring and agrees to give it back to her in exchange for letting him live in the hotel. Before Kayla can agree, Terence returns from walking Spike and notices Tom looking for Jerry hiding in Kayla's coat pocket, creating a scene that causes Spike, Tom, and Jerry's chase to destroy the lobby. Terence is suspended, while Kayla is promoted to event manager, for returning Preeta's ring. Kayla tells Tom and Jerry that they will have to get along and spend the next day bonding if they want to stay in the hotel, to which they reluctantly agree. </p><p>While Kayla takes care of the hotel and manages the wedding with the crew, Tom and Jerry explore the city, but are imprisoned at a pound, after inadvertently committing <a href="/wiki/Fan_interference" class="mw-redirect" title="Fan interference">fan interference</a> on a baseball game. A vengeful Terence separately visits Tom and Jerry and feeds them lies about what they said about each other behind their backs, inciting them to a battle at the ceremony that throws the wedding into carnage and destroys the rest of the hotel. After Kayla comes clean and leaves in disgrace, Terence evicts Tom, and Preeta renounces the wedding. Realizing that it is their fault, Tom and Jerry put their differences aside, and convince Kayla and the hotel crew, including a skeptical Terence, to salvage the wedding. The pair lure Preeta and Toots to Central Park, where the wedding is held. </p><p>Kayla promises to Preeta that Tom and Jerry have atoned for their behavior, and Ben apologizes to Preeta for his extensive expenses, in light of impressing her father.
