How people reacted on social media to the teaser of the new Tom and Jerry movie

The trailer introduces the plot of the film. Jerry lands up in a hotel in New York which is going to host the “wedding of the century.” The hotel’s new hire wants to get rid of the mouse problem and gets a cat, which happens to be Tom.

While the animals featured in the film are animated, the rest of it is live-action. Many on social media were critical of appearance but some did like the way the iconic cartoon characters looked.

This is so bad. Your ruining the original show. AWFUL!

Finally a live-action movie with animated characters that’s not from a “different dimension”.

I am so Glad they didn’t try to make Tom & Jerry realistic in anyway. It’s so refreshing to see cartoons characters in the real world without any ugly realistic features slapped on to make it somewhat more “Believable”

This is giving me awful flashbacks to the Rocky and Bullwinkle movie. Why are the characters CG? In fact, why is it live action? Who wanted this?

Who’s willing to bet that most of the slapstick was in the trailer and the movie itself is mostly focused on the humans doing boring personal issues like a majority of movies like this

I am so watching this! With a new mindset though! That Jerry is the villain 😅😅🤣

The fact it takes place in the real world, has no cohesive story except for Tom and Jerry fighting like they’ve always done, and the fact that this trailer is stuffed to the brim with pop and rap songs…I can say I don’t have high hopes at all for this movie.

I’m honestly surprised with how good they actually look in this. Like the fusion of 2D or CG rendering is so good, it’s really hard to tell if they’re really 2D or not. That’s really dang impressive.🤔

Tom and Jerry in the real world because why not? At least the cat and mouse that are not in live action so I could give you that, but they better give a good explanation why they are animated

This looks awful!!! The whole point of Tom and Jerry is the slapstick cartoon violence. Its like they completely ignore it here.
