Description: Tom and Jerry: The Fast and the Furry (2005) is an animated adventure film featuring the iconic cat-and-mouse duo. After being evicted from their home for causing destruction during one of their usual chases, Tom and Jerry stumble upon an advertisement for the “Fabulous Super Race,” a reality show where the winner receives a luxurious mansion. Inspired, they build their own vehicles from a junkyard and head to Hollywood’s Globwobbler Studios to join the competition.
The race attracts a variety of eccentric participants, including Grammy and her fierce dog Squirty, the dark lord turned florist Gorthan the Destroyer of Light, superstar Steed Dirkly, single mother Malory “Soccer Mom” McDoogle, and the ill-fated scientist Dr. Professor, who is accidentally eliminated before the race even begins. The competition kicks off in Hollywood, with Grammy initially taking the lead before being overtaken by Steed. However, the race is extended to the Amazonian jungle due to high public ratings.
In the jungle, Tom resorts to cheating by altering a road sign, leading to Soccer Mom’s elimination when her minivan gets stuck in quicksand. Steed wins again, but the race is prolonged further, with the next leg set in Antarctica. On the way, Steed’s vehicle sinks, and he meets a grim fate at the hands of a sea monster. Gorthan is the first to reach Antarctica but is eliminated after a mishap involving an iceberg. Grammy is also eliminated after accidentally being swallowed by a whale, leaving Tom and Jerry as the final contenders.
The film combines humor, action, and the timeless rivalry of Tom and Jerry, taking them on a chaotic journey across the globe.
