Press Release from Warner Home Video
BURBANK, CA – Warner Home Video brings the brand-new, full-length animated mystery caper Tom and Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes to DVD August 24, 2010. This action-packed adventure stars the popular cat and mouse duo as they attempt to nab a clever jewel thief with the help of legendary detective, Sherlock Holmes. The DVD, which includes a bonus How to Draw Tom and Jerry feature, will retail for $19.98 SRP.
Tom and Jerry set out on one of their biggest adventures yet when they visit London to help solve a series of jewelry heists that leave Scotland Yard completely befuddled and a beautiful singer named Red framed for the crimes. However, it’s going to take one of history’s greatest fictional detectives, Sherlock Holmes along with his loyal assistant Dr. Watson, to find the real thief.
The renowned crime-fighting team is joined by another world-famous duo, the lovable, ever-squabbling Tom and Jerry. Little do they know that finding clues and cracking the case will be elementary compared to keeping the peace between the raucous cat and mouse as they scamper, scurry, scoot and speed along the streets, alleys and rooftops in the name of justice.
Tom and Jerry’s favorite pals, including Tuffy the mouse, Butch the dog, Droopy and others, round out the motley crew of characters and possible suspects in this brilliant fusion of classic detection and energetic animation.
DVD bonus material includes How to Draw Tom and Jerry – Your favorite cat and mouse made easy through a Professional Illustrator’s step-by-step instructions.
