What is the title of the 2007 direct-to-video film featuring Tom and Jerry in a holiday setting?

The 2007 direct-to-video Tom and Jerry film set in a holiday fantasy is *Tom and Jerry: A Nutcracker Tale*.

The Christmas story begins when Jerry and Tuffy are drawn into a magical version of *The Nutcracker*. Jerry takes on the Nutcracker role while Tom serves among the Cat King’s forces. The characters travel through a winter kingdom filled with toys, magical realms, Santa Claus, and a quest to restore the kingdom before Christmas morning.

The film is a semi-adaptation of E. T. A. Hoffmann’s 1816 story *The Nutcracker and the Mouse King*, filtered through the music, imagery, and stage traditions associated with *The Nutcracker*. Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone directed it, and Joseph Barbera received story credit.

A notable historical detail is that it was the last animated production Joseph Barbera worked on before his death in December 2006, and the film was dedicated to his memory. It is often confused with *Shiver Me Whiskers* or *The Fast and the Furry*, but neither has the Christmas-and-Nutcracker setting.
