The movie will reignite the age-old rivalry between Tom and the mischievous Jerry. When the mouse sets up camp in a grand New York hotel, the hotel management demands that event planner Kayla (Chloe Grace Moretz) should get rid of him before the festivities of the ‘wedding of the century’ begin. It is her idea to use natural pest control and Tom is brought into the hotel to exterminate him. But soon, all three realize that a bigger threat is conspiring against them.

The idea for a Tom and Jerry live-action movie had been in the talks for a long time. It has been in the early stages of development since the early 2000s, ever since other cartoons like Alvin and the Chipmunks got their own movies. The Tom and Jerry movie would follow the same combination of animation and live-action characters.

It remains to be seen whether the film can bring back the sheer joy the William Hanna and Joseph Barbera-created cartoon series gave to its millions of fans.
