I was sipping boba in Flushing when my niece video-called me, her iPad screen shaking with excitement. ‘Auntie! The new Tom and Jerry movie trailer dropped!’ Behind her, I could see her childhood bedroom wall – still covered with those faded Tom and Jerry stickers we’d put up together during summer vacation years ago.
The trailer for ‘Tom and Jerry: The Astral Odyssey’ shows our favorite ‘geriatric delinquents’ (as Twitter users are calling them) still going strong at 85. That’s right – while most of us are complaining about back pain at 30, these two are still pulling off interstellar chase sequences across magical Eastern landscapes. The scene where Tom’s whiskers freeze mid-leap had me snorting milk tea through my nose.
But here’s the kicker – when I tried to watch the full trailer on Weibo from my NYC apartment, all I got was the dreaded ‘This content is unavailable in your region’ message. Cue the world’s smallest violin playing just for me. It’s 2024, and we’re still dealing with geo-blocks like it’s the Great Firewall of 1999?
Fun fact: That freeze-frame of Tom’s face when he realizes he’s run off a cliff? That was basically my expression when my VPN disconnected halfway through the trailer. The struggle is real for us overseas Chinese trying to keep up with domestic pop culture. My cousin in Toronto says she’s missed three variety show finals this year alone because of buffering issues.
What kills me is that Tom and Jerry were my childhood bridge between cultures. Those wordless chases needed no translation when I first moved to the States. Now their new adventure needs digital contortions to reach the diaspora? The irony isn’t lost on me – much like how Tom never learns that the anvil will always fall on his head.
So here’s to the OG chaotic duo – may your 85th year be filled with more interstellar mischief than ever. And to my fellow overseas fans: don’t let region locks kill your nostalgia. After all, if Tom can survive being flattened by a piano 300+ times, we can survive a few error messages. (P.S. Scroll down for my tried-and-tested methods to bypass these restrictions – your inner child will thank you!)
