Tom and Jerry Coming to the Big Screen
Source: Variety (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117998898.html?categoryid=13&cs=1)
January 22, 2009

Warner Bros. is planning to bring "Tom and Jerry" to life as CG characters that run around in live-action settings, says Variety.

The studio-based Dan Lin, currently producing the upcoming Sherlock Holmes (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=45650) and executive producer on Terminator Salvation (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=45650), will adapt the classic Hanna-Barbera property as an origin story that reveals how Tom and Jerry first meet and form their rivalry before getting lost in Chicago and reluctantly working together during an arduous journey home.

Eric Gravning is penning the script.

Warners owns the rights to Hanna-Barbera's slate of popular animated properties and has several of them in development for bigscreen adaptation. Those include Robert Rodriguez's version of The Jetsons and producer Donald De Line's Yogi Bear.

"Tom and Jerry" originated as a series of 114 animated shorts, produced by MGM's toon studio between 1940 and 1960, and won seven Academy Awards. New toons were produced after that, and Warner Bros. released Tom and Jerry: The Movie in 1992 as a feature-length toon.

[Don_East]

No, not again... NOT AGAIN!

[Tobias]

And Selena Gomez will play Tom's owner, who wants her cat to come home.

And Tom will be voiced by Dane Cook, and Jerry will be voiced by Zac Efron. And there will be some big, bad non threatening threat like Tom's owners will be moving, and unless Tom can get home in time, he'll lose them forever.

This movie hurts just thinking about it.

[creativerealms]

"Hey lets make an even worse Tom and Jerry movie."

[Michael24]

I'm looking forward to it, if they do it right. As soon as I saw Garfield: The Movie, I thought to myself, "Now we need Tom & Jerry next." However, I just don't like the idea of the characters talking, which I assume they would do for a feature-length film. We'll see.

[Chris Sanders MSX]

Let's wait until we see a trailer.... They really shouldn't talk though...but they also shouldn't work together too much.... and the also shouldn't sing, ever again.

Otis and Milo anyone ?

That's Oscar material baby!!! :D

They already talked in the first movie that came out around 1996, if I'm correct.

[NewcomerDC]

It said on top of the thread that the film came out in 1992.

[Michael24]

I've never seen that one, but I'm aware they talk in it.

[NewcomerDC]

I've never seen that one, but I'm aware they talk in it.
And that's something no one wants to happen again.

[Old Guy]

I haven't seen that "talking" Tom & Jerry movie since childhood but I recall enjoying it. :confused::(:sweat:

And Selena Gomez will play Tom's owner, who wants her cat to come home.

lol. I can actually see that happening!

[veemonjosh]

That poor Nostalgia Critic. The first movie was enough strain on his heart, who knows how he'll feel about the second. :sweat:

[chdr]

So... Tom and Jerry: The Movie, only worse?

Nostalgia Critic's gonna have a field day with this.

[Daxdiv]

Looks like NC going to have to kill somebody now Josh.

As for my views, eh I have to say is WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?

[NewcomerDC]

This movie hurts just thinking about it.
What's a Selena Gomez movie without her BFF Demi Lovato? She has to get publicity outside Disney.

Plus I would voice Tom as a little garden gnome do the voice of the mouse. I would say nothing and he would say nothing and this film would be MST 3000'd this way to Sunday.

Overrated much? lol

Perhaps.

[Dirty Dawg]

Perhaps.

Oh but this situation REALLY calls for it

[Brandon Pierce]

I think Richard Kind should voice Tom. You know, to keep continuity with the first movie.... :sweat:

[buttah]

It'll probably be bad but I'm not gonna completely prejudge before there's more information then well..pretty much nothing.

And although I haven't seen it since I was 5 I liked Tom and Jerry when they talked in that movie more than how they normally are.

[Tobias]

I'd rather have a T&J movie where they're NOT buddies. Why can't we have a T&J movie filled with old fashioned cartoon violence?

[Mesousa]

Who?

[Racattack!Force]

I'd rather have a T&J movie where they're NOT buddies. Why can't we have a T&J movie filled with old fashioned cartoon violence?Tom and Jerry has a love-hate relationship, since they pretty much get along at times. And I'm not going to bash this movie until we actually see a trailer.

[tb4000]

I know Cats and Dogs did it to an extent, but it's going to be quite creepy for a few people seeing realistically rendered cats and mice getting bludgeoned and injured.

[Light Lucario]

I don't think that the movie could be that bad. It depends how they handle the storyline. They most likely will be talking in the film, but I think that's because they don't want the two main characters to have a silent role in a film. I remember seeing the first Tom and Jerry movie and I kind of liked how they talked. Of course, I've never been a big Tom and Jerry fan, so perhaps that helps in this situation. In any case, I'll just wait until I see a trailer before having a firmer sense of judgment on the film.

[stargirl]

DEAR MOTHER OF GOD, WHY?! :crying: :mad: :eek:


Warner Bros. was doing so good trying to recapture the spirit of T&J through those DTV's and that short-lived series, but THIS?!

The plot doesn't sound all that bad, but in CGI? I'm having nightmares.

Now I liked hearing Tom & Jerry talk in the first film, but that was because

1. It was supposed to be a ONE-TIME thing.
2. Richard Kind and Dana Hill were so perfect.

I sincerely doubt that if T&J were to talk in this film, their voices would be as good. But you never know, Hollywood may just prove me wrong...

Anyway, BACK TO THE OVERALL HORROR!!!

I can already hear the Nostalgia Critic: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to MindF*** 2!" :shrug:

Gosh, just thinking about what this film's trailer will be like makes me shudder.

[creativerealms]

I have no problem with limited (Very limited) talking from Tom and Jerry after all they DO talk in the shorts just not like they talked in the movie. They should be silant for say 75-90% of the movie and thats all. In fact in a life action movie it might be more likely that they will be Silant for the most part since the live action actors will sadlt be the stars.

Really I should have known better but I first came into this topic (Before my first post yesterday) hoping that it would be new Tom and Jerry shorts airing before movies in theaters. Guess I should never have thought that.

[Rolling Cloud]

This seems like a really bad idea. >_>

[Anyone00]

Dear Hollywood,
Why not make new animated shorts that appear before family and kids' movies then after about a dozen sell them on DVD/Bluray? You'll probably make a larger profit margin while keeping true to the originals and not alienating fans.

Sincerly,
Anyone00

[Matt Hazuda]

If you've never seen the original movie, here's a taste (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6BFeNbmfqA#t=1m13s).

This movie is going to bring you horrors the likes of which you've seen before.

[Old Guy]

Maybe it's because I saw it as a kid, but I was never bothered by them talking in that movie. :confused:

[Silverstar]

Maybe it's because I saw it as a kid, but I was never bothered by them talking in that movie. :confused:

Same here. T&J's talking never bothered me either, since they've spoken from time to time in their various shorts, and they were both given the power of speech in their comic book series. It would be hard to do a 90-minute movie for the most part in pantomime.

What bugged me about Tom & Jerry: The Movie wasn't that T&J talked; it was the ill-conceived, poorly written, MST-worthy script.

[SpaceCowboy]

What idiot exec greenlighted to remake such a bad movie?
This is like remaking the live-action Street Fighter movie...into something even worse! Oh wait..

[BartWinkle]

Do you think MGM-even though they no longer own the rights to T&J-will be brought in as co-producer? I would like to see it happen.

[BonyT]

This seems like a really bad idea. >_>Yeah. I hate to be a pessimist about anything right out of the box, but ... c'mon, Tom & Jerry CGI -- I can't be the only one for whom that rings like the unmistakable knell of certain doom in the ears.

[Arxane]

You know, it's not like this isn't the first time Tom and Jerry have appeared in live-action talking.

Here's Jerry dancing and conversing with Gene Kelly in Anchor's Aweigh (plus the Family Guy remake). (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP0kQFvj9rs)

Of course, judging by the quality of the recent animated films, I don't have much faith in this adaptation.

[Kazuya Prower]

Oh God...First Garfield, then Underdog, then Alvin and the Chipmunks and now Tom and Jerry!? Geez, Hollywood how many classic cartoon stars do you plan to ruin until you're satisfied!? What's next? Bugs Bunny? Mickey Mouse?? Felix the Cat???

[BonyT]

Of course, judging by the quality of the recent animated films, I don't have much faith in this adaptation.See, you've struck on precisely the problem: There's such a vast, yawning chasm between the immortal T&J Hanna Barbera classics (including the Gene Kelly clip you linked) and everything that's been done in the name of Tom & Jerry since then.

[creativerealms]

It was not Tom and Jerry talking that bothered me it was their voices that bothered me.

[Silverstar]

It was not Tom and Jerry talking that bothered me it was their voices that bothered me.

Well, I could take or leave Dana Hill's voicing of Jerry (Hill always sounded pretty much the same whatever character she was doing), but I actually thought Richard Kind's voice fit Tom. That's pretty much how I'd always envisioned Tom sounding like, even before I had any idea who Richard Kind was.

[Mesousa]

Yeah, I remember buying it on VHS once, it looked like a good idea at the time, though, I mean, at least it was animated.

But, has this Richard Kind guy done any other stuff, other than this, I questioning this, cause I never heard of him.

Richard Kind (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0454236/)

[CjFilmz]

This sounds just like the 1993 movie, only live-action, with an origin story tacked on at the beginning and no little girl.

I love Tom & Jerry, they're one of my favorite cartoons, but this movie will be awful.

Obviously this will be marketed to kids, meaning the violence won't be as extreme as it was in the cartoon. It will likely just be pie-in-the-face gags, fart jokes, and maybe something heavy falling on Tom's head once.

And rap song for the credits.

[TheAnimalSpy]

Another game of cat and mouse is something i can't wait for. T$J are awesome:p

[Dudley]

I wonder if they'll talk in this one...

They'll be better off not doing so.

[ABrown]

Don't we get enough Itchy And Scratchy on The Simpsons. Do they really need their own movie?

[Light Lucario]

Oh God...First Garfield, then Underdog, then Alvin and the Chipmunks and now Tom and Jerry!? Geez, Hollywood how many classic cartoon stars do you plan to ruin until you're satisfied!? What's next? Bugs Bunny? Mickey Mouse?? Felix the Cat???

I didn't think that the Garfield movie was that bad. At least it kept Garfield in character, unlike Underdog. I haven't seen Alvin and the Chipmunks so I can't comment on that movie.

I think that an origin story could be interesting. I'm still willing to see a preview of the film to get a taste of it before passing judgment on it. It could go either way really, depending on the writing and how they handle the overall storyline.

[Old Guy]

I didn't think that the Garfield movie was that bad. At least it kept Garfield in character

But it screwed up Jon. :(

[CjFilmz]

I think that an origin story could be interesting.

Tom naps on the floor. Jerry walks in. Grabs food. Tom chases. Very compelling origin story.

Now that I think about it, if Tom & Jerry don't talk and they only show the legs and arm of human characters, this could be interesting.

[dth1971]

The cat and mouse will talk in CGI!

[stargirl]

The cat and mouse will talk in CGI!

Is there an official source of that?

.....

And why do I have a strong feeling that there's going to be some breakdancing in this film?

[Silverstar]

The cat and mouse will talk in CGI!

How does one talk in CGI? You can't see voices, only hear them.

I think you meant to say that the cat and mouse will talk, and the film will be in CGI.

And FTR, we don't know if the whole film will be in CG, it's only been confirmed that Tom and Jerry will be CGI characters. It could like the Garfireld movies, where just the title characters are in CGI.

[Mini Garbonzo]

As much as I despise the fact that this idea got put through I'm not really angry, excutives will be excutives, there's nothing else we can do besides wait this one out and hope it bombs both critically and financially.

[PalmelaFC]

Yeah! By the way: How do you think executives come up with these ideas?

And the idea of the movie in cgi... kinda makes me sick:ack: I mean, Tom & Jerry were made for the big screen but in it's original form! Making it into a CGI movie... well... that idea is pretty bad! If it was in traditional animation, maybe it could get people to see it but like that... i don't know...

[Light Lucario]

But it screwed up Jon. :(

Yeah, that's true. I guess that they wanted Jon to be different than how he is in the comics. I kind of liked that though.

Tom naps on the floor. Jerry walks in. Grabs food. Tom chases. Very compelling origin story.

Well, I would imagine that they would put a lot more into their origin story than that. No one would want to watch a five second film that was the whole base of why Tom and Jerry constantly fight with each other.

Now that I think about it, if Tom & Jerry don't talk and they only show the legs and arm of human characters, this could be interesting.

I personally doubt that Tom and Jerry will not talk in the film. I think that they wouldn't want to go to all the trouble of designing them in CGI and not have them talk. Besides that, it would be hard to do a ninety-minute movie with the two center characters silent, at least with most movies nowadays. It might be more possible for them to only show the arms and legs of the humans, but it really depends who they hire and how they want to handle the human characters.

[Taekmkm]

It'd be like Wall-E...with animal violence!



....Wow, that sounds better than this.

And for the record, the Tom and Jerry movie was just bleh. Why orphans? Why always orphans?!

[Mini Garbonzo]

Why orphans? Why always orphans?!
Technically the little girl had a father...and his name was INDIANA JONES!

[fartoons]

It's a sad day, but it was bound to happen sooner or later. They've ruined plenty of other cartoon characters with CG movies, but I hoped it'd never happen to Tom & Jerry.

http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/01/tom-jerry-movie.html

Hollywood's officially run out of ideas... Oh wait, that happened a long time ago.

[peterg14]

I'd rather wait for a trailer or more information about the movie before I call this movie the Apocalypse. I didn't mind them talking in the first movie, it was just the terrible script. So even if they talk, I wouldn't mind it, just have a good script.

[stargirl]

Technically the little girl had a father...and his name was INDIANA JONES!

:lol:

Can you imagine if Indiana Jones would make an actual cameo in the new film? Unprecedented and awesome.

[NewcomerDC]

:lol:

Can you imagine if Indiana Jones would make an actual cameo in the new film? Unprecedented and awesome.
Sorta like the Indiana Jones and The Mummy crossover but then we found out it was Harrison Ford and Brenden Fraser in a film where they're playing doctors....any crossover with Indiana Jones or anyone that looks rremotely like him like Gerard Butler in Nim's Island wouldn't happen unless it was a fanfic.

As Garbanzo and Tednut have stated, there's already a thread about this in the Entertainment forum, but I think you're a little misguided here.

It's not a sad day just because the characters of Tom and Jerry will be rendered in CGI. How T&J are going to be rendered is irrelevant. What's scaring me is the ghost of Hollywood's previous attempt to give T&J a movie. Tom & Jerry: the Movie (1992) was all hand-drawn animation, and it sucked, daring to treat T&J like supporting players in their own movie. My big fear is that this flick will be a repeat of that travesty.

CGI won't matter a bit if it's a solid script that treats the characters properly.

[Itchy]

This sounds horrible. They might as well go all the way and hire Uwe Boll to direct it.

[Kitschensyngk]

No no NO NO NO NOOOOOOO!!!!!

They’ll tone down the violence, make them needlessly photo-realistic and stick in some stupid family-friendly life lesson!!!

I’m still trying to forget that Fox made CG Chipmunks.



Tom and Jerry are only in this movie because they're recognizable icons.

Didn't they make this movie back in 1993 with REAL animals and call it Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey? Or am I thinking of its SEQUEL?

[DarthGonzo]

It's funny how this thread is titled "Tom & Jerry Heading to the Big Screen!" when the duo spent almost three nonstop decades in theaters. :p

[Super Leviathan]

If this movie convinces Warner to put out a complete, restored, uncut DVD collection of the old shorts, then it will be totally worth it. If not, it's still a disposable kiddie flick at the end of the day.

An besides, shoehorning Tom and Jerry into the Jimmy Hart version of the Rescuers was already a low bar to set for a theatrical T&J film. How much worse can this one be?

[sun]

Tom and Jerry again..If you look at the MGM toons from the 40s and 50s, everything else looks kinda sick. Perhaps on life support.
.
Maybe they will someday make a remake of Daffy and Bugs in "Rabbit Season." and claim it is funny. " It is now on the big screen", they will say.

As Darth Gonzo said, "Where were these toons for 20 years?" You know Hanna and Barbara made some great toons, and now we settle for computer generated imitations. And what for?

Well, if even poorly done, it will gross one hundred million, maybe more. kinda sad:yawn:

The concern with this movie shouldn't be the computer animation. That's beside the point. The concern should be the story and the execution. This whole "Computer animation is the devil" rhetoric is getting staler than a week-old roll. Why do people keep assuming that this film will automatically be terrible just because there's going to be CG in it? Tom & Jerry: The Movie was all hand-drawn animation, and we all saw what a cinematic masterpiece that was.

My big concern is whether this T&J movie will just be a repeat of what happened with Tom & Jerry: The Movie. As long as the story isn't mule stupid, and Tom and Jerry are actually the stars of the piece, and not tossed to the side in favor of some orphan searching for her gazillionaire adventurer father and a bunch of other weirdos and forgettable cipher characters, then it won't matter to me one iota if they're in CGI.

[TheTerror]

First Flintstones. Then Scooby. Now this:




Everything has to be CG these days, how sad, I miss movies with standard animation and it seems they are becoming more and more rare in favor for CGI crap.

[Blackstar]

Everything has to be CG these days, how sad, I miss movies with standard animation and it seems they are becoming more and more rare in favor for CGI crap.

In defense of The Flintstones, it was only Dino and some of the other prehistoric animals that were rendered in CG. Fred, Wilma, et al, were live actors.

Also, as it's been said a few times here before, hand drawn animation is not dead, nor is CGI going to eventually replace all other forms of animation. That's nothing more than paranoid speculation. People also thought that movies would die when television was invented, but you'll notice that movies are still being made decades later.

That being said, while I also would have preferred traditional hand drawn animation for the new T& J movie, I'm a tad curious to at least see how Tom & Jerry will look in CGI. As long as T&J don't look like weird anthropomorphic blobs like in the CG rendered Garfield films, it may not be all bad. Of course, the real concern should be the script. Hopefeully, this film's producers won't make the misatkes that were made with Tom & Jerry: The Movie and keep the story consistent with the original shorts. It may just be a CG rendered Tom and Jerry in a live action world in which the humans only appear as legs and feet, like in most of the MGM shorts. I don't see how that could made into a 90 minute feature, but movies have been made about even less.

[king zrz]

They should shelve the project.They are just ruining it for everyone.Tom and Jerry should have died when the classic animated shorts died. They spoiled things for kids and adults with the new series and movies they made after that.No way will this movie work.

[~Shoяe]

a tom and jerry origin story. wow. what an amazing idea! Theres just so much to say about a cat and a mouse and how they started fighting . I can't wait for this [/sarcasm]

[dendawg]

And here I thought the Dragonball movie was the worst toon to live action film idea ever (yes, I do know about the asian DB film) ....leave it to Hollywood to always prove me wrong. :p

[Craig Crumpton]

It's a sad day, but it was bound to happen sooner or later. They've ruined plenty of other cartoon characters with CG movies, but I hoped it'd never happen to Tom & Jerry.Tom & Jerry have actually been rendered in CGI before for a few video games.

I usually avoid threads like this whenever a new live-action or CG version of some classic or vintage cartoon is announced. I know fans and animation enthusiasts are going to hate the idea, but just because a movie gets made doesn't mean you have to go watch it. And studios don't generally make these kind of movies for fans anyway. Fans are more of an afterthought. But they're usually for the kiddies or family-friendly fare. They know that even if it doesn't do well at the box office, it will turn a profit on DVD/Blu-Ray.

It's all about the money.

[Eric B]

an "origin story that reveals how Tom and Jerry first meet and form their rivalry before getting lost in Chicago and reluctantly working together during an arduous journey home." Kind of sounds like a prequel to the first movie!

There was also a video of some French commercial with a CGI Tom & Jerry online a few years ago, and it looked interesting. (Forgot whether the backgrounds were live or CG).

[warnerbroman]

So... Tom and Jerry: The Movie, only worse?

Nostalgia Critic's gonna have a field day with this.how? I here he dose not review things post 2000

[Daxdiv]

how? I here he dose not review things post 2000

:confused:! Dude, it's a joke to the NC review of the Tom and Jerry Movie.

But him not reviewing anything post-2000 is news to me.

[DarthGonzo]

But him not reviewing anything post-2000 is news to me.

Why would he review something made in the past 10 years when he calls himself the Nostalgia Critic?

[Daxdiv]

Why would he review something made in the past 10 years when he calls himself the Nostalgia Critic?

Because his fanboys don't seem to grasp that concept.;)

Though I wasn't aware that he had a set time frame.

[Mr. Wednesday]

Why would he review something made in the past 10 years when he calls himself the Nostalgia Critic?
He reviewed the Pokemon movie (which was around nine years old when the review was made).

But yeah, I don't see him doing any post-2000 shows.

[Mini Garbonzo]

He reviewed the Pokemon movie (which was around nine years old when the review was made).

But he did say that he only reviewed that movie because people wouldn't stop asking him about it.
