Christmas is never so spirited as when Tom and Jerry lock horns for the holidays in their new original movie--Tom & Jerry: A Nutcracker Tale In an empty opera house, Jerry wishes for a chance to perform -- and magically his dream comes true. The little mouse is whisked away to an enchanted kingdom where anything is possible: candy forests, singing snowflakes, even the toys spring to life! Jerry has a great time with his new friends, and when Jerry dances with the music box ballerina, he is as happy as happy can be. Unfortunately, alley cats led by Tom crash Jerry's party, kidnap the music box ballerina and wreak havoc in the holiday kingdom. It's up to Jerry to set things right -- and with help from a fellow mouse named Tuffy and more newfound friends, Jerry just may win the day!

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was the final Tom and Jerry project produced in traditional 2D animation before the franchise switched to Flash and CGI—pour one out for hand-drawn chaos.
The film was originally planned as a theatrical release but got demoted to direct-to-DVD, which explains both its ambition and its 'we had a budget for exactly one opera set' energy.
