The trailer of Tom And Jerry released on Tuesday evening and it sure brought back a flood of childhood memories. In the film, written by Kevin Costello and based on Joseph Barbera and William Hanna's classic characters, Tom is hired by a desperate event planner (Chloe Grace Moretz) to get rid of Jerry, who moved into "New York City's finest hotel on the eve of the wedding of the century."
