What happens

Tom and Jerry, released as Tom & Jerry: The Movie in some territories, is a 2021 American live-action animated comedy film based on the cartoon characters Tom and Jerry created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Produced by Warner Animation Group, it is the second theatrical film based on the characters, following Tom and Jerry: The Movie (1992). Directed by Tim Story and written by Kevin Costello, the film stars Chloë Grace Moretz, Michael Peña, Colin Jost, Rob Delaney and Ken Jeong. After years of languishing in development hell, including a live-action film in 2009 and an animated film in 2015, a live-action/animated hybrid film was announced in 2018 with Story attached as director. Filming took place at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden from July to September 2019. Christopher Lennertz composed the film's score. Tom and Jerry was theatrically released by Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States on February 26, 2021, alongside a one-month streaming release on HBO Max. The film received generally negative reviews from critics, but grossed $136 million worldwide on a $50‒79 million production budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
