Following in the hallowed footsteps of MC Skat Kat, Roger Rabbit, and whatever the fuck was going on in Cool World, Tom and Jerry have entered into an unnatural union with the “real world” for their next big screen adventure. (There were others, probably? This doesn’t seem like a good use of Google’s resources at the moment.) The premise of Tom & Jerry raises some interesting questions, like, now that they’re in the real world, are they also beholden to our laws of physics? i.e. will the mouse’s violent shenanigans result in the gruesome murder of the cat? The trailer (sadly) clears this up very early on as Tom survives being hit by a bus. Still, Jerry’s murderous plots have certainly taken on a sociopathic dimension against the backdrop of a tangible reality.
