Summary: A Great Collection for Cartoon Fans
Review: Tom and Jerry cartoons are some of the best and most endearing representatives of animation and this collection shows why. 12 classic shorts from the cat and mouse duo that, up until this tape was released, I was relying on Cartoon Network programming to provide. Now, all I have to do is pop this tape in my vcr and wham!, instant cartoon royalty. My favorites on this tape are:

The Cat Concerto (Tom and Jerry duel it out in the middle of a piano concert)

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Mouse (a nice little twist on the classic tale)

and

The Little Orphan (Jerry teams up with Tuffy, at least that's the name I know him by in a hilarious plot to sneak past Tom to the refrigerator)

Any fan of cartoons will know that Tom and Jerry cartoons are some of the best and here is an affordable collection of some of the famous cartoon pair's work. A definite must have for fans of classic cartooning.

Note: this review reflects the vhs version, apparently there is also a dvd with one more cartoon as well as expected features, which is even more reason to go out and buy a dvd player(:=

Summary: Don't bother
Review: Tom and Jerry, a wonderful childhood memory and a wonderfully entertaining comedic duo, have been butchered for DVD release. "The Little Orphan" contains an edit which is so idiotic that I cannot recommend this DVD. I would not even buy this at a bargain price. I don't care if everything else is uncut, one edit is all it takes. It is sad that some of the greatest animated characters have to be butchered just to be politically correct. One scene is cut while modern cartoons, full of innuendos and violence, recieve no such censoring. Do not support censorship and avoid this DVD.

Summary: Plain old fun...
Review: While I certainly can't comment on the editing/non-editing of these classic cartoons, I can wholeheartedly recommend this collection for pure enjoyment. My almost-three-year-old chooses this movie each and every day for his "TV time" - the other tapes and DVD's sitting idle on the shelf. This is a lengthy tape, and manages to keep his interest (and ours) from beginning to end. It's nice to see that the cartoons that entertained my parents are now entertaining my son. Just sit down together and enjoy!
