Tom and Jerry has a massive animation history, but most viewers looking for a watch order want a manageable path through the feature films and modern franchise highlights. A guide helps narrow the chaos into an easy starting sequence.

Tom and Jerry is one of the longest-running cartoon franchises ever, which means a truly exhaustive watch order would be enormous. For most viewers, the practical goal is not to track every short, but to follow the main feature-film line and major modern franchise entries in a sensible order. That approach keeps the watchlist approachable while still honoring the duo's long history.

🕐 Release Order

Release order is the easiest route because it lets you move from the first theatrical feature into the later direct-to-video adventures and modern live-action hybrid movie.

  1. Tom and Jerry: The Movie (1992)
  2. Tom and Jerry: The Magic Ring (2002)
  3. Tom and Jerry: Blast Off to Mars! (2005)
  4. Tom and Jerry: Shiver Me Whiskers (2006)
  5. Tom and Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes (2010)
  6. Tom and Jerry & The Wizard of Oz (2011)
  7. Tom and Jerry: Robin Hood and His Merry Mouse (2012)
  8. Tom and Jerry's Giant Adventure (2013)
  9. Tom and Jerry: The Lost Dragon (2014)
  10. Tom and Jerry: Spy Quest (2015)
  11. Tom and Jerry: Back to Oz (2016)
  12. Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (2017)
  13. Tom & Jerry (2021)

Because the franchise is so episodic, chronology is less important than simply choosing a sensible release-based path through the major movies.

📖 Story Chronology

A practical chronology is effectively the same as release order for the feature films, since they are mostly standalone stories sharing the same core duo.

  1. Tom and Jerry: The Movie (1992)
  2. Tom and Jerry: The Magic Ring (2002)
  3. Tom and Jerry: Blast Off to Mars! (2005)
  4. Tom and Jerry: Shiver Me Whiskers (2006)
  5. Tom and Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes (2010)
  6. Tom and Jerry & The Wizard of Oz (2011)
  7. Tom and Jerry: Robin Hood and His Merry Mouse (2012)
  8. Tom and Jerry's Giant Adventure (2013)
  9. Tom and Jerry: The Lost Dragon (2014)
  10. Tom and Jerry: Spy Quest (2015)
  11. Tom and Jerry: Back to Oz (2016)
  12. Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (2017)
  13. Tom & Jerry (2021)

Which Order Should You Choose?

For most people, release order is the best and simplest way to sample Tom and Jerry beyond the classic shorts. If you only want the essentials, start with the 1992 movie and then jump to whichever later feature concept sounds most fun. Completionists can work straight through the feature-film lineup in order.
