Tom and Jerry Movie Streaming Guide & 2026 Rumors

Few cartoon rivalries have survived as many decades—or as many streaming shifts—as Tom and Jerry. Whether you’re hunting for the 2021 live-action hybrid or the 1992 musical original, the simple question “where can I watch?” can feel surprisingly tangled.

Tom and Jerry (2021) release date: February 26, 2021 ·
Tom and Jerry (2021) streaming on HBO Max: Yes (one-month exclusive) ·
Tom and Jerry: The Movie (1992) on Netflix: Available to stream ·
Tom & Jerry (2021) on Apple TV: Available for purchase

Two films, two eras—one consistent pattern of chasing each other across platforms.

Is Tom and Jerry on Netflix or Disney?

Is Tom and Jerry on Disney+?

Disney+ does not carry any Tom and Jerry content. The franchise remains under Warner Bros. control, which directs streaming rights primarily to HBO Max and its partners. According to Decider (streaming guidance site), the 2021 film and classic episodes are grouped with HBO Max and Prime Video, not Disney’s platform.

Where can I stream Tom and Jerry?

The 2021 film is no longer on HBO Max but is available for purchase on Apple TV (digital storefront). The 1992 film Tom and Jerry: The Movie streams on Netflix (Netflix (official streaming platform)).

Classic Tom and Jerry episodes are available free with ads on Tubi TV (free ad-supported streaming), as shown by JustWatch (streaming availability tracker).

The implication: fans must decide between a Netflix subscription and a transactional purchase to access both major films.

Where can I stream the Tom and Jerry movie?

Streaming on HBO Max

Tom and Jerry (2021) debuted simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max on February 26, 2021. As Wikipedia (encyclopedia entry) notes, the streaming release was a one-month exclusive. That window has since closed.

Purchase on Apple TV

The film is currently available to buy on Apple TV (digital storefront) and other digital retailers like Amazon Video and Fandango At Home (JustWatch listing).

Netflix availability

Tom and Jerry: The Movie (1992) is streamable on Netflix (official streaming platform). The 2021 film is not on Netflix.

The pattern: transactional access for the 2021 film, subscription access for the 1992 classic.

Is there a new Tom and Jerry movie coming out in 2026?

2026 release rumors

Multiple sources point to a film titled Tom and Jerry: Forbidden Compass with a planned release date of September 9, 2026. Rotten Tomatoes (film review aggregator) lists it as a Kids & Family, Comedy, Adventure, Animation film with a runtime of 1 hour 44 minutes, originally in Chinese. Trailers have appeared on YouTube (video platform) starting in April 2026, and a trailer description mentions exclusive GSC Play locations in Malaysia beginning May 21, 2026.

However, no official confirmation from Warner Bros. or the franchise’s official channels has been issued. Movie Insider (film release tracking) notes with medium confidence the nationwide release date is also September 9, 2026, but the project’s legitimacy as an official Warner Bros. production remains unconfirmed.

What’s coming out in 2027?

No 2027 Tom and Jerry project is publicly announced. Speculation about a sequel or spin-off remains just that—speculation. Fan wikis (community-maintained database) aggregate rumors, but no verifiable studio statements exist.

The consequence: any 2026 release remains speculative until Warner Bros. issues an official statement.

Is there a Tom and Jerry film?

Tom and Jerry (2021)

The 2021 release is a live-action/animation hybrid directed by Tim Story. Wikipedia (encyclopedia entry) describes it as a comedy where the duo causes chaos at a New York hotel ahead of a celebrity wedding. Apple TV’s description (digital storefront) calls it “an eye‑popping blend of classic animation and live action.”

Tom and Jerry: The Movie (1992)

The 1992 film is a traditional animated musical comedy directed by Phil Roman. The plot follows Tom and Jerry helping a runaway girl reunite with her family. It is available on Netflix (official streaming platform).

What is Jerry’s gender?

Jerry Mouse gender canon

Jerry is consistently referred to as male in official materials. From the original Hanna-Barbera series through the 2021 film, dialogue and promotional copy use male pronouns. No official source has ever presented Jerry as female. Fan speculation about Jerry’s gender has been addressed by the franchise’s creators through consistent use of “he/him.” Wikipedia (encyclopedia entry) notes that Jerry is “a small brown house mouse” who is “male.”

Three platforms, two films, one clear divide: transactional vs. subscription.

The implication: Netflix holds the 1992 film, but the 2021 movie and classic episodes remain outside its library. Viewers who want both must maintain separate access.

For fans waiting for a new theatrical Tom and Jerry film, the choice is clear: either catch Forbidden Compass in 2026 if its official status is confirmed, or stick with the 1992 classic on Netflix and the 2021 version purchase on Apple TV. The streaming landscape demands two subscriptions, but the classic rivalry remains one click away.
