Tom and Jerry: Forbidden Compass

This time, Tom and Jerry’s never-ending pranks will go beyond all previous limits! The cunning mouse Jerry secretly sneaks into a Manhattan museum to see an exhibition of the magical compass—a legendary artifact shrouded in mystery. Hot on his heels is the tireless cat Tom, the newest member of the museum’s security team, who will do anything to finally catch his little rival in spectacular fashion. But their traditional game of cat and mouse soon takes a wild turn. A moment of inattention is all it takes for the magical compass to pull them into a world where ancient legends come to life, mythical monsters roam, and serious trouble lurks around every corner. If these two want to make it back home, they’ll have to put their squabbles aside and join forces. An adventure awaits them—and it’s definitely not just about who can outsmart whom!

For more than 80 years, Tom and Jerry have been among the most famous animated characters in the world. Their legendary chases have become a symbol of zany humor and an endless string of gags that resonate across generations and decades without much dialogue. The original series of short films about the clumsy cat and the mischievous mouse even won seven Oscars for Best Animated Short Film and remains one of the most successful animated franchises in history. Tom and Jerry are now returning in a new story about a magical compass that takes the longtime rivals far beyond the confines of the living room and their classic traps. The film was produced as a co-production between Warner Bros. Pictures China and China Film Co., Ltd., directed by Gang Zhang, and marks the very first full-length computer-animated adventure featuring Tom and Jerry. The filmmakers have embraced a modern visual style while preserving what audiences love most about Tom and Jerry—unbridled energy, wordless humor, relentless banter, and chaos that always results in great fun. This time, however, one seriously tangled chase could determine the fate of the entire world. Tom and Jerry: The Magic Compass offers fun for young and old alike and reminds us that even the greatest rivals can sometimes achieve more together than they can on their own.
