Tom and Jerry: The Magic Ring

2002

The Oscar-winning cat-and-mouse twosome--Tom and Jerry--returns with another adventure. When Tom and Jerry's irrepressible curiosity gets the best of them, the mysterious magic ring that Tom guards with his life ends up stuck over Jerry's head. Now, Jerry must find a way to free himself of the ring while fleeing Tom, who wants to remove the ring any way he can! Find out if the pair can conjure up a solution in this fur-raising, madcap escapade.

Ages 7+Source checked

Why this age? Frequent cartoon chases, physical comedy, temporary freezing and magical transformations occur in a creepy mansion and pet-store setting. The intensity is mild, but younger children may find some peril or creatures unsettling. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.

What’s in it?

Products & advertising1/5
Why this rating?

A pet store, cages, and a child buying Jerry appear in the plot, but there is no strong purchasing message or product placement.

Religious themes1/5
Why this rating?

A character is identified as a 'wizard,' which is a fantasy trope rather than religious practice.

Frightening scenes3/5
Why this rating?

Some scenes take place in a 'haunted' mansion and involve tense chase sequences, but intended for comedic effect.

Violence3/5
Why this rating?

Standard slapstick cartoon violence including hitting, chasing, falling, and mild magical transformations.

What’s good in it?

Courage & resilience2/5
Why this rating?

Jerry persistently faces pursuit and danger while trying to help Nibbles and escape; the bravery is comic rather than realistic.

Creativity & curiosity3/5
Why this rating?

Highly imaginative visual gags and magical scenarios.

Kindness & empathy2/5
Why this rating?

Jerry stops bullying and protects Nibbles; Tom rescues Jerry from the alley cat, and an old woman provides shelter.

Positive messages2/5
Why this rating?

Light themes of responsibility, though primarily focused on comedy and pursuit.

Good role models1/5
Why this rating?

Jerry protects Nibbles and Tom sometimes rescues Jerry, but both repeatedly chase, deceive, and create chaotic situations.
