History Trivia / TomAndJerryTheMovie

* IKnewIt: This film confirms the fan theory that Tom and Jerry enjoy their game of cat and mouse. Once they're homeless, they get along like a house on fire.

* CreatorBacklash: For Creator/WarnerBros, it was very hard to find and most of the characters that were introduced in the film were phased out of the franchise entirely. The idea of Tom and Jerry talking was also phased out as the [[MadeForTVMovie Made-for-TV]] short "The Mansion Cat" made them mute again and reduced them to minor speaking roles.

* OldShame: This for Creator/WarnerBros As stated above, it was very hard to find and most of the characters that were introduced in the film were phased out of the franchise entirely. The idea of Tom and Jerry talking was also phased out as the [[MadeForTVMovie Made-for-TV]] short "The Mansion Cat" made them mute again and reduced them to minor speaking roles.

* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget, $3.5 million (excluding marketing). Box office, $3,560,469 (domestic).

* FollowTheLeader: The pathos filled orphan plot? The musical numbers? The hammy bad guys (one of whom is voiced by Creator/TonyJay)? Its very obvious that the film was a shameless attempt at cashing in on Creator/{{Disney}}'s renaissance during the early 90's, with Tom and Jerry thrown in merely for marquee value. Suffice to say, [[BoxOfficeBomb it backfired]].

** Christiane Monteiro as Jerry in the Brazilian Portuguese dub done by Herbert Richers. The Álamo dub subverts this by having Marcelo Campos as his voice.
* DuelingDubs: There's two Brazilian Portuguese dubs: one done by Álamo with Tatá Guarnieri as Tom and Marcelo Campos as Jerry, and another done by Herbert Richers with the late Júlio Chaves as Tom and Christiane Monteiro as Jerry.

* CreatorKiller: Making Tom & Jerry talk led to director/producer Phil Roman's cinematic career getting silenced for two decades; he strictly remained in television animation with ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' and ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' adaptations.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Aside from Robyn's original name being Cricket, Puggsy and Frankie were to have MUCH larger roles, actually accompanying Robyn, Tom and Jerry on their quest to find Robyn's father.

** Miriam Ficher as Jerry in the Brazilian Portuguese dub done by Herbert Richers. The Álamo dub subverts this by having Marcelo Campos as his voice.

* ChannelHop: The film was originally supposed to be distributed in the US by Creator/CarolcoPictures through its joint venture with Turner-owned Creator/NewLineCinema, known as Seven Arts Pictures, but said joint venture collapsed in 1992, and co-distributor Live Entertainment opted to shop the film to Creator/{{Miramax}} instead.

* StillbornFranchise: As far as a theatrical run goes, any and all Tom & Jerry movies past this one are made-for-TV or Direct-to-Video (see [[WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryDirectToVideoFilmSeries here]] for the latter); this came not too long after ''WesternAnimation/JetsonsTheMovie'' also bombed out at the box office, and although ''Film/TheFlintstones'' fared well (and used Music/HenryMancini's opening theme from ''Tom & Jerry'' in its trailer, amusingly), Hanna-Barbera never really got on the cinema map. 2020 brought ''WesternAnimation/{{Scoob}}'', and 2021, a new live-action/animated venture, ''[[Film/TomAndJerry2021 Tom & Jerry]]'', is unconnected to this film's continuity.

* TheOtherMarty: In the Brazilian Portuguese dub of the teaser trailer, Tom was dubbed by Jonas Mello. For the film proper, he was dubbed by Tatá Guarnieri (Álamo dub)/Júlio Chaves (Herbert Richers dub).

* CrossDressingVoices: Dana Hill as Jerry.

* StarDerailingRole: This was Dana Hill's (voice of Jerry) final role prior to her death. Creator/RichardKind (voice of Tom) had better luck on the small screen, though you might still know him as [[WesternAnimation/ABugsLife Molt]] and [[WesternAnimation/InsideOut Bing Bong]].
