TOM AND JERRY THE MOVIE

 Thank you Warner Bros. Home Entertainment for the complimentary movie featured in this post

This week's family movie night selection is TOM & JERRY THE MOVIE. A regular fixture in after-school cartoon lineups on tv when I was a kid, my own children aren't that familiar with the cat and moue hijinks of Tom and Jerry. So this movie provides some nostalgia for this dad and an intriguing new experience for my son and daughter so to provide an evening of family fun.

One of the most beloved rivalries in history is reignited when Jerry moves into New York City's finest hotel on the eve of "the wedding of the century," forcing the event's desperate planner to bring in a tom cat in hopes of getting rid of the pesky mouse. The ensuing cat and mouse battle between Tom and Jerry threatens to destroy the event planner's career, the wedding and possibly even the hotel itself. But soon, an even bigger problem arises: a diabolically ambitious hotel manager who is threatened by the event planner and wants to take her down using Tom and Jerry's feud against her.

Rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for cartoon violence and rude humor, TOM & JERRY THE MOVIE is now available on Blu-ray and DVD. Bonus content on the home entertainment release of the movie includes a gag reel, deleted scenes and featurettes on the making of this animated / live action motion picture hybrid. The film is about an hour and a half with a viewing time of 101 minutes.
