Tom and Jerry, released as Tom & Jerry: The Movie in some territories, is a 2021 American comedy film based on the cartoon characters Tom and Jerry created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Produced by Warner Animation Group, it is the second theatrical film based on the characters, following Tom and Jerry: The Movie (1992). Directed by Tim Story and written by Kevin Costello, the live-action animated film stars Chloë Grace Moretz, Michael Peña, Colin Jost, Rob Delaney and Ken Jeong. After years of languishing in development hell, including a live-action film in 2009 and an animated film in 2015, a live-action/animated hybrid film was announced in 2018 with Story attached as director.
