In a style similar to Space Jam and Smurfs, the film combines 3D animation and with a live-action cast for an exciting, new take on a timeless rivalry. Michael Peña, Rob Delaney, Colin Jost, and Ken Jeong will be starring alongside Moretz.

Cartoon characters Tom and Jerry were created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. The new film is directed by Tim Story, who previously worked on the 2005 and 2007 Fantastic Four movies. Tom and Jerry is produced by Chris DeFaria (Ready, Player, One, Gravity) and written by Kevin Costello.
