Sesame Street is home to the Jim Henson creations Big Bird, Bert, Ernie, Grover, Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, and Elmo. In a twin announcement, the studio also revealed that it will release director Tim Story’s Tom and Jerry film on 16 April, 2021. Neither of the films have an official title yet. Hathaway’s upcoming venture with Rebel Wilson includes The Hustle that releases on 10 May.
