Big news for Tom and Jerry fans – a brand new movie is in the works! Warner Bros. Pictures Animation is developing a fresh iteration of the beloved franchise, with Rashida Jones, Will McCormack, and Michael Govier on board as writers ¹. This dynamic trio has previously collaborated on projects like “Celeste and Jesse Forever,” “Toy Story 4,” and the Oscar-winning short “If Anything Happens I Love You.”
While details about the movie’s premise are scarce, we do know that it’ll be a new take on the classic cat-and-mouse duo. The franchise, which was created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera in 1940, has been entertaining fans for generations with its hilarious and action-packed shorts ².
This new movie isn’t the only exciting development in the Tom and Jerry universe. In 2021, a live-action and animated hybrid film, simply titled “Tom & Jerry,” was released, featuring the iconic characters getting into all sorts of mischief in New York City ³.
