Tom and Jerry: The Magic Ring is a 2002 animated direct-to-video fantasy-comedy film starring the cat-and-mouse team Tom and Jerry. This was the first made-for-video attempt to recapture the style of William Hanna and Joseph Barbera's original film shorts.
Also, it was the final cartoon feature and final Tom & Jerry film to be co- executive produced by both William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, as Hanna died on March 22, 2001. This is also the first Tom and Jerry production produced by Warner Bros. Animation.
A Game Boy Advance game based on the movie was also made.
It was produced by Cartoon Network and Turner Entertainment, distributed by Warner Home Video, was released on VHS and DVD in 2002, and features Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Tom and Jerry.
Tom and Jerry are at it again. This time, Jerry has the magic ring stuck on his head, and both of them meet enemies in town who either want the ring, Jerry, or Tom. It's up to Tom and Jerry to work together as a team to dodge danger and quickly take off the magic ring on Jerry's head.
The story starts out with a haunted, creepy-looking crawlies mansion house, where Tom Cat, as usual, chases Jerry Mouse and breaks everything in the house. Meanwhile, in the basement, a wizard named Chip is making a magical potion. He uses his magic ring to make his potion, until he realizes that it doesn't work. Chip checks the milk carton that he used on the portion, but there is no substitution for the milk of a cow that lives in Calcutta.
