Earlier This Week
The kids and I were headed outside when we found this outside our door:

Naturally, we brought it inside and the kids wanted to open it immediately.
There was a Tom & Jerry: The Movie themed piñata cake inside along with a supplied mallet from Warner Brothers.
We’re about to break open this #TomAndJerryMovie cake! @warnerbros @TomAndJerry #ad pic.twitter.com/26jOc0yH7N

We snapped a few photos and got to work on smashing the thing.
Had to see what was inside!
That thing was full of candy, activity books, T-shirts, confetti, and more.
What a fun experience! Thanks for the surprise #TomAndJerryMovie box drop, @warnerbros! My kids loved the @TomAndJerry movie. AND we’re currently watching the classic #TomAndJerry cartoons on @hbomax this weekend. #ad pic.twitter.com/UTZCHmrT9P

Tom & Jerry: The Movie Official Trailer
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, Kayla, to hire Tom to get rid of him, in director Tim Story’s “Tom and Jerry.” The ensuing cat and mouse battle threatens to destroy her career, the wedding, and possibly the hotel itself. But soon, an even bigger problem arises: a diabolically ambitious staffer conspiring against all three of them.
An eye-popping blend of classic animation and live-action, Tom and Jerry’s new adventure stakes new ground for the iconic characters and forces them to eventually do the unthinkable… work together to save the day.
“Tom and Jerry” stars Chloë Grace Moretz (“Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising,” “The Addams Family”), Michael Peña (“Cesar Chavez,” “American Hustle,” “Ant-Man”), Colin Jost (“How to be Single,” “Saturday Night Live”), Rob Delaney (“Deadpool 2,” “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw”), Pallavi Sharda (“Lion”), Jordan Bolger (“Peaky Blinders”), Patsy Ferran (“Darkest Hour”), Nicky Jam (TV’s “Nicky Jam: El Ganador”), Bobby Cannavale (“The Irishman,” “Ant-Man and the Wasp”), Lil Rel Howery (upcoming “Judas and the Black Messiah,” “The Angry Birds Movie 2”), and Ken Jeong (“Crazy Rich Asians,” “The Hangover,” “Transformers: Dark of the Moon”).
The film is directed by Tim Story (“Fantastic Four,” “Think Like a Man,” “Barbershop”) and produced by Chris DeFaria (“The LEGO Movie 2,” “Ready Player One,” “Gravity”). It is written by Kevin Costello, based on characters created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Serving as executive producers are Tim Story, Adam Goodman, Steven Harding, Sam Register, Jesse Ehrman, and Allison Abbate. The creative filmmaking team includes director of photography Alan Stewart, production designer James Hambidge, editor Peter S. Elliot, and costume designer Alison McCosh. The music is composed by Christopher Lennertz.
A Warner Bros. Pictures and Warner Animation Group presentation, a Tim Story Film, “Tom and Jerry” is slated for release in theaters nationwide on February 26, 2021, and will be available in the U.S. on HBO Max for 31 days from the theatrical release. The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
The film is rated PG for cartoon violence, rude humor, and brief language.

We watched the movie on HBOMax.
I don’t think the kids stopped laughing. It is a hilarious kids movie we’ll be watching again soon. I’m sure. Have you seen it? What did you think?
