And there are 13 direct-to-video films about every random story from going to Mars to meeting Sherlock Holmes. There was one feature-length film released in 1992 about a girl trying to escape abusive guardians and find her missing father. In fact, every "Tom and Jerry" movie has a weird story. If you're thinking the scenario sounds kind of weird (even for a cartoon), I don't blame you. Apparently, a big wedding is getting ready to take place at the hotel, and Tom is hired to deal with Jerry. The trailer seems to tell a story about Jerry moving into a fancy New York hotel and causing mischief by way of being a mouse in a high-end place. It's kind of like "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" or those godforsaken "Alvin and the Chipmunks" movies. On Tuesday, a new trailer dropped for a bizarre "Tom and Jerry" movie that's partly live-action and partly animated. Studios need to stop making "Tom and Jerry" movies. Now that I've established I'm a big "Tom and Jerry" fan, allow me to stay something that seems contradictory. Some of my favorite episodes include Tom inheriting a million dollars as long as he promises to never hurt another living creature (and Jerry tormenting him), or the one where Tom wants to rest on the hammock, and Spike wants to grill a steak for his child, but Jerry gets involved and makes a mess of everything. If you poked through my memories, you could probably find I have dozens and dozens of episodes memorized. Thank God for those minds, or American cartoons today would look a lot different. The series made its debut in 1940 as short films created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. By the time I was 5 years old, "Tom and Jerry" was 55! What I didn't realize growing up was just how old the cartoon I enjoyed was. So I spent many hours of my youth watching these two do things to each other that would absolutely kill them in real life. Seemed like those reruns were on Cartoon Network all the time when I was growing up. Little Bear only came on once a day when I was a kid (as part of Nick Jr.), but Tom and Jerry used to run more often. The earliest cartoons I can remember watching as a kid were "Little Bear" and "Tom and Jerry." Unlike most adults in America, I continue to love them. As with most children in America, I grew up watching cartoons.
