Chloe Grace Moretz on challenges of acting with animation in Tom & Jerry movie
The film uses the classic 2D animation style of the cartoons.
Chloe Grace Moretz has described the challenges of her role in the new Tom & Jerry movie, which combines live action with classic animation.
The film brings the cat-and-mouse rivalry of the cartoon to a feature length film, as mouse Jerry moves into a high-end New York hotel and Moretz’s desperate event planner hires cat Tom to get rid of him.
The Kick-Ass actress told the PA news agency: “I think the majority of my scenes were by myself because I was with the two boys, I was with Tom and Jerry (who are both animated).
“So the first few takes I would get the puppet and then as we progressed in the movie we realised that the least amount of time I could spend with the puppet the better because it allowed for more improv, more possibilities, and basically allowed the animators to go that extra distance.
