Movie Synopsis
Released in 1992, TOM AND JERRY, THE MOVIE brought one of the world’s most recognisable animated rivalries from short-form cartoons to a full-length feature film adventure. Directed by Phil Roman, the film offered audiences a fresh interpretation of the legendary cat-and-mouse pairing while retaining the playful spirit that had made the characters internationally beloved for generations.
Originally created by animation pioneers William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, Tom and Jerry had become cultural icons through decades of theatrical and television success. This feature-length production marked a significant departure from the traditional format by presenting a story-driven narrative and, to the surprise of many longtime fans, allowing Tom and Jerry to speak and interact through dialogue rather than relying solely on visual comedy.
The story follows Tom and Jerry after they become separated from their owners and discover a young runaway girl named Robyn Starling. Robyn has fled her wealthy but unhappy home while dealing with an uncaring guardian and the loss of her father. Forming an unlikely friendship, Tom and Jerry put aside their famous rivalry to help Robyn reunite with her family and find happiness.
Throughout the journey, the film combines animated adventure, comedy and musical sequences while introducing a cast of supporting characters. Voice performances include Richard Kind as Tom, Dana Hill as Jerry and Anndi McAfee as Robyn. The production featured multiple original songs and aimed to create a broader cinematic experience compared with the fast-paced slapstick shorts audiences traditionally associated with the franchise.
One of the more interesting aspects of the production was its international development history. Although based on classic American characters, the film involved global animation production efforts and reflected a period when many animated features were exploring expanded storytelling beyond television formats. The movie also arrived during a transitional era in animation shortly before computer-generated films would begin reshaping the industry.
While reactions to the speaking versions of Tom and Jerry varied among audiences, the film remains an interesting and nostalgic chapter in the history of animated cinema and continues to attract collectors who appreciate rare theatrical releases featuring classic cartoon properties.
Today, TOM AND JERRY, THE MOVIE (1992) remains a nostalgic favourite for collectors of family movie posters, animation fans and enthusiasts of original theatrical advertising material. This authentic Daybill poster captures a unique moment in the long history of one of entertainment’s most enduring animated partnerships.

While the industry does have a few condition rating standards, there is no movie poster condition rating system that has become the accepted standard world wide. This unfortunately makes condition terms vary from movie poster dealer to movie poster dealer. Terms like Mint, Near Mint, Very Fine, Fine, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor, seem to be universal to most condition rating standards, but most standards still lack definition about what and how many flaws/defects/damage defines a specific condition level. For more information on how Movie Posters Australia grades the condition of its movie posters, daybills, lobby cards and other ephemera please see out Movie Poster Condition and Grading page.
In the early days of cinema, posters were primarily hand-drawn and printed in various sizes, often tailored to fit the available space in theaters or promotional areas. In the United States, the "One Sheet" size (some times called '1 Sheet' or '1SH' approximately 27" x 41", became the standard during the 1930s. This size was manageable for theater display and suited the needs of a growing film industry.
Different countries developed their own poster sizes and styles, which also changed sometimes over the decades, and were influenced by local preferences and practical considerations, like available paper sheet sizes and how many posters could be printed on one sheet.
In Australia, the most popular size, the Daybill, has evolved over the decades. Australian Daybills sizes in chronological order are:
- Long Daybills (15" x 40"), from 1920's to pre-WW2 or pre-1941, were printed two to a sheet, longer than current Daybill versions. There were size variances in width from 14.5" to 15" and in height from 39.5" to 40".
- War Time Daybill (10" x 30"), during WW2, for a short time to conserve paper during a war time shortage, four Daybills were printed on one sheet. Information from Press Sheets also referred to these War-Time sizes as "New Size Daybills".
- Post-War Daybill (13" x 30"), this 13" x 30" Post-War size carried through until the 1980's, but also varied in size from 13"-14" x 29.75"-30.25".
- Post-80's Daybill (33cm x 66cm, or 13" x 26"), over a few years in the late 80's, the size changed again to a metric 33cm x 66cm, although these have also varied from 32-33cm x 64.5-66cm. New sizes from the late 80's were created, sometimes called a Mini Daybill or Mini Poster, in 9" x 12", 11" x 17" and 13" x 20".
In the UK, the somewhat unique 'Quad' poster, measuring 30" x 40", became popular, offering a larger landscape format that allowed for more elaborate designs.
In Japan, movie poster sizes were smaller, such as the "B2" (20" x 28"), which suited the more compact living environment of larger cities, smaller advertising spaces, and unique aesthetic sensibilities.
The 1970s and 1980s, witnessed the rise of the "six-sheet" (81" x 81") format, reflecting a trend towards larger and more visually impactful advertising.
Overall, the variation in movie poster sizes across different countries and decades highlights the interplay between technological printing advancements, paper resource availability, paper sheet size changes, cultural preferences, and the evolving nature of movie marketing.
At Movie Posters Australia we tag each poster we sell with a 'size' and 'condition' description at the very top of the page for our customers to easily see. There may however be some slight variations to sizes by up one inch due to variations in production and guillotine methods by printers over the decades.
