To survive, Tom and Jerry must outsmart their enemies and finally work together to make it home.”

When is the release date for Tom and Jerry: Forbidden Compass?

Following its theatrical debut in China in August 2025, Tom and Jerry: Forbidden Compass will finally arrive in U.S. theaters on September 9, 2026, pitting it against no direct competition at the box office. However, it will still be debuting in the same month as high-profile movies like Alan Ritchson’s Runner, Sandra Bullock’s Practical Magic 2, Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil, Aardman Animation’s new Shaun the Sheep movie, and Universal Pictures’ Forgotten Island.

The upcoming animated movie is written and directed by Gang Zhang, based on the iconic characters from Hanna-Barbera. The PG-rated film is produced by Chen Bofei, Ruoqing Fu, Jasmine Gao, Shaojing Yang, and Huixia Zhang. Warner Bros. China appointed Beijing-based Blossoms Entertainment to develop and oversee sales for the film. It currently has a total runtime of 94 minutes.
