Tom and Jerry & The Snow Queen

Tom and Jerry & The Snow Queen is an animated musical fantasy comedy-drama film loosely based on a Hans Christen Andersen fairy tale, The Snow Queen.



Synopsis
When the world is put into an eternal winter, it is up to Tom Cat and Jerry Mouse to help a young girl named Gerda on a journey to find her brother Kai, who has been abducted by the Snow Queen.

During their journey, they encounter new characters as well as familiar faces, such as Tuffy Mouse, Butch Cat, and Droopy Dog — and not to mention the treacherous Siamese cat trio!

Plot
Tom Cat and Jerry Mouse live with Gerda and her brother Kai in a village and the brother and sister play games happily with each other; but as for Tom and Jerry, they spend hours chasing and fighting each other as usual. Meanwhile, a fat and batty woman with ice blue skin and snow white hair who addresses herself as the Snow Queen, who lives in an icy palace in the North Pole with her three cat servants: Tin, Pan and Alley, plans to set up her huge magic mirror on a mountain to reflect the sunlight away so the entire world will become her kingdom. But the mirror falls down the mountain and lands on the cats' flying machine where it shatters into pieces, one of the pieces lands right into Kai's eyes, and he is no longer interested in playing with Gerda, which leaves her heartbroken and lonely, while Tom and Jerry charge around the village fighting, only to pause to see how miserable the young girl is.

At the same time, the Snow Queen sends the three cats to retrieve the pieces of the broken mirror. As they cannot take the one that is inside Kai, the Queen sent them out to kidnap him. The next day, Tin, Pan and Alley, riding in a sleigh, arrive on the village, and abduct Kai and ride off into the sky, while leaving Gerda, Tom and Jerry behind as a cold, harsh snowy winter falls upon the village. Gerda and Kai's grandmother explained them that may be work of the Snow Queen, Gerda goes out to save Kai from her and Tom and Jerry reluctantly decide to go with her, at the grandmother's request.

In a snowy forest, they find a house belonging to an old woman, who appears nice, but is actually an evil witch but traps them to use Gerda's heart for her elixir of life so she can be eternally young. Tom and Jerry, with the help of Tuffy, who also was trapped by the witch, trick the witch's cat, Butch, into chasing after Jerry and Tuffy and knocking over the cauldron containing the elixir of life, and Tom uses the confusion to unlock Gerda's cell. Gerda, Tom, Jerry, and Tuffy escape and trap the witch in the basement.

After they manage to escape from the evil witch, Tuffy decides to join Tom, Jerry and Gerda on their quest to the North Pole to find the icy palace and rescue Kai from the Snow Queen. Down the path, they encounter the Crow and the Tame Crow, who, from Gerda's description of Kai, tell her that Kai is going to marry a princess. They arrive when there is a ball going on in the palace concluded with fireworks. When all are asleep the crows take Gerda into the palace to the royal bedroom. Gerda takes a candle that she uses to see if the boy is Kai. It is a different boy, who is heavier than Kai. The shock of awaking him, awakens the princess, who calls her guards. The seven intruders are apprehended, but when the princess is caught up where Gerda tells them her story, she and her consort decide to help her. The princess and her consort send Gerda, Tom, Jerry, and Tuffy on their way with a royal vehicle to ride to the Snow Queen's dominion.

Meanwhile, while Kai is rebuilding the Snow Queen's mirror, as he is good at puzzles, the Snow Queen sees Gerda, Tom, Tuffy and Jerry from her icy crystal ball on their way to her palace and she sends Tin, Pan and Alley to stop them from accomplishing their goal, after the three cats go out, she kisses Kai, putting him into a hypnotic state while his veins are full of ice, and will cause his death when it reaches. The Siamese cat trio swoop in on their flying machines to terrorize the heroes, doing whatever it takes to stop them by all means necessary (ie: cutting the rope bridge, breaking the thin ice, causing an anvalanche, etc), but no matter what calamity those cats cause, Gerda refuses to give up until she finds her brother Kai.

Suddenly, the blizzard turns even harsher and Tuffy suggests that they find shelter for the night. They stop at a small village and find an inn run by Droopy Dog. The next morning, Tom wakes to find fresh milk and salmon for his breakfast while Jerry and Tuffy help themselves to some Swiss cheese. Gerda finishes her loaf of bread as she sets off to find her brother. Tom, Jerry and Tuffy follow her once more.

In the snowy alps, Gerda, Tom, Tuffy and Jerry are ambushed by Robber Rats. They also meet a female rat named Ratty and her reindeer friend Bae. They tell Gerda that they saw the Snow Queen take Kai with her to the North Pole. The reindeer offers to take Gerda there. It remains for Ratty to let Gerda, Tom, Jerry, Tuffy, and Bae go. They get to an Lapland woman, who warms them by their fire. She tells them that the Snow Queen had stopped there with Kay but went on farther north to the North Pole.

With help from Bae, Tom, Gerda, Tuffy and Jerry finally arrive at the Snow Queen's palace and find Kai. Gerda begs Kai to come home with her, but Tin, Pan and Alley confront the heroes, telling them that the boy is staying with the Snow Queen where he belongs. Bae reveals that the piece of glass inside him will kill him, then makes a potion that will dissolve the mirror. Genda tells Kai to drink it, but just as he is about to, the Queen blasts the vial away with her magic staff. Genda, Tom, Tuffy, Jerry, and Bae try to recover it, eventually causing the vial to fall on top of the mirror and shatter, dissolving the mirror and forming an icy cyclone that chases after the Queen's flying carriage and freezes her solid as she attempts to escape. The mirror pieces inside Kai dissolve and the effects of the Queen's kiss go away, freeing him. Bae take Gerda, Tom, Jerry, Tuffy, and Kai back to the village. They go past the Finnish woman, Ratty, the princess and the prince, her consort, and the crows, while Tin, Pan and Alley are arrested by the princess and prince's guards. Bae crashlands in the village and Genda, Kai, Tom, Jerry, and Tuffy go to their home as Bae heads back to the North Pole. The film ends up with the same old habit between Tom and Jerry did not changing as Tom swipes Jerry with the broom continually outside the house during their chase.
