AceShowbiz - Who doesn't know "Tom & Jerry"? After decades of being the central characters in the truest depiction of cat-and-mouse game, these longtime foes are getting their second only feature film adaptation. The upcoming movie makes use of the advanced technology and combines live-action footage with computer-animated graphics to present a more realistic look at the slapstick humor as the result of the title characters' mischief. The story follows Jerry taking up residence in a hotel as Tom is hired to keep him from ruining an important wedding, with Chloe Moretz, Colin Jost, Rob Delaney and Ken Jeong among the voice cast.
Never one to be left behind when it comes to a family entertainment, Walt Disney Pictures has prepared its own animated movie for 2021, "Raya and the Last Dragon". Coming from the studio that has brought to viewers critically-acclaimed films like "Moana", "Frozen (2013)" and many more, this upcoming original film is promised to deliver inspirational message about bravery and trust in humankind with a story about a warrior princess and the last dragon.
In a slightly different approach than those two films mentioned above, "The Boss Baby: Family Business" is an animated comedy family film that also offers adult humor. Though critics were divided over the first film's confusing tone, 2017's "The Boss Baby" that featured the voice of Alec Baldwin proved that its cutting-edge wits catered to not only kids, but also adults. The sequel will find The Templeton brothers becoming adults and being drifted away from each other.
Other comedy and family movies to be released in 2021: "Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway" (Jan. 15), "Minions: The Rise of Gru" (Jul. 2), "Space Jam: A New Legacy" (Jul. 16), "Hotel Transylvania 4" (Aug. 6), "Paw Patrol: The Movie" (Aug. 20) and "The Addams Family 2" (Oct. 8)
