“Tom and Jerry as you’ve never seen them before!” Roadshow Films has revealed their own official trailer for the animated movie Tom & Jerry: Forbidden Compass, set for a US release in theaters September. After first debuting in China last year, it’s finally getting released as an English language dub at every other country around the world. This is actually a Chinese production –despite it being the classic Tom & Jerry characters – it’s an animated movie made in China for Asian audiences. The beloved cat & mouse duo Tom & Jerry accidentally travel through time after activating a magical compass. Along the way, the duo meets curious allies and faces mysterious forces in a playful adventure packed with chaos and discovery. This will feature an English voice cast, though not in this trailer and no names are finalized yet. Originally made by Warner Bros Animation for China. It does look mildly entertaining – only worth a watch if you love this duo.
Here’s another international trailer for Gang Zhang’s Tom & Jerry: Forbidden Compass, on YouTube:
