Synopsis[]
YouTube[]
All hail Talking Tom! His hot new grocery-based philosophy is changing lives. But when his followers start taking his wisdom too far, not even Tom can stop the chaos they cause!
IMDb[]
Talking Tom starts a popular new lifestyle movement, but loses control of it when his followers take his ideas too far.
Plot[]
Tom gets prepared to deliver a motivational speech, only to find that he had accidentally replaced his speech with his shopping list. However, everyone seems to like the "speech" and begin to blindly follow him.
Soon, people start asking him for advice and crowding at the garage. However, they begin to take his ideas too far by stealing groceries. So, at the next speech, Tom confesses that he listed food by mistake and told them to return the stolen food. The townspeople simply assume their leader has lost faith and capture him.
The new leader of the Tommies reveals that they have built a Sphinx out of food. They already have captured the friends. Once Hank frees them, they hurry over and free Tom, only for Ben, Hank and Ginger to be captured. Angela, who escaped, gives Tom the speech he was supposed to deliver.
Tom manages to sneak past the Tommies and onto the Sphinx. He manages to deliver his speech, but the crowd gets disappointed. They wonder why they decided to ever follow Tom's beliefs and leave the cult. The friends all go home while Tom is disappointed, thinking that the speech was supposed to start a movement.
