What is the name of the 1992 animated Tom and Jerry film?

The story behind the answer

The 1992 animated film is titled Tom and Jerry: The Movie. It was the first theatrical feature-length film centered on the famous cat-and-mouse pair.

Produced and directed by Phil Roman, the film is an animated musical comedy with original songs by Henry Mancini and Leslie Bricusse. Its story follows Tom and Jerry as they help an eight-year-old girl, Robyn Starling, escape her cruel legal guardian and search for her missing father. This feature gives the normally silent duo extensive spoken dialogue, an unusual choice that distinguishes it from the classic theatrical shorts.

The film premiered in Germany on October 1, 1992, but reached United States theaters on July 30, 1993, through Miramax. That release timing causes occasional confusion about whether it should be called a 1992 or 1993 film: 1992 is the production and initial-release year, while the U.S. theatrical date was in 1993. It is separate from the 2021 live-action/animated hybrid film, also titled Tom and Jerry.
