Summary: Tom and Jerry are cool but...
Review: ...this DVD presents them in an incorrect aspect ratio. The cartoons are unique in the fact that they have aspect ratios between 2.35:1 and 2.55:1 with some serious thought put into compositions. This DVD is just plain, old fashioned 1.33:1 (pan and scan) with half the picture hacked of the sides of each short. If Cartoon Network pay money to redub sound effects on present airings (some of which are in their OAR) then I would have assumed that Warner would also produced an anamorphic widescreen DVD with a 5.1 track. Stick to the TV airings. At least they are sporadically in the correct aspect ratio.

Summary: "Tom and Jerry's Greatest Chases"
Review: An excellent DVD for Tom and Jerry fans. Of the 14 shorts, only one was left butched. "The Little Orphan" was tampered with: the scene where Tom gets burned up when the candle lands in his tail towards the end. Other "offensive" shorts, like "Mouse In Manhattan," are left intact, including the scene when Jerry is in black-face after being dipped in shoe polish. The reproduction of the DVD is, as you would expect, sensational. Aside from "Little Orphan," a great DVD.

Summary: Welcome to Tom & Jerry's wacky world of cat-and-mouse games!
Review: Being firstborn brainchildren to the great kartoonie-makin' duo, Hanna and Barbera, Tom The Cat very merrily chased Jerry The Mouse through a long line of many successful animated shorts and into The History of Golden-Age Cartoons. Meet Tom, a very mean-spirited but gullibly innocent kitty with his such endearing birthmark: a white blaze so tenderly drawn onto his forehead (though it doesn't always appear). And here comes poor Tom's archrival, Jerry the achingly cute and irritatingly heroic little brown rodent. Now just watch the unfortunate old cat get squashed, burned, slashed into two, mangled, roasted, frozen, blown up, and even beheaded at one time at the hands of the pesky little Jerry who fiercely struggled to save the lives of his innocent critter friends and his diapered infant cousin, Tuffy The Mouse (once named Nibbles). Ironically, it makes you feel sorry for the poor long-suffering old Tom, who after all is only responding to his hunger pangs and pedatory instincts. In fact, though Tom is usually placed in the villain role, he really has a very good heart right underneath his very savage white breast, thus you do eventually grow to love him ... and uh, hate Jerry for shoving him into such painful situations in the first place. But sometimes, Tom gets to turn the tables, thus Jerry is the one who winds up getting just the desserts! Sorry, but fair's fair for the famous cat-and-mouse team! In the later years, when the television overtook the visual entertainment of the old-time films in the theater, the reowned Chuck Jones overtook the Tom & Jerry studio. As a result, he produced very charming new cartoons with his very own personal touch, though they weren't met with very resounding success due to artistic differences. Another director to guide the cat and mouse through the Sixties is the notorious Gene Detrich who made many UPS-style cartoons - most of them just plain awful. Poor Tom gets victimized even more brutally by a very unfunny and very abusive owner and the increasingly annoying Jerry, who may make you hate him even more than ever. And along comes even more cartoons about The Cat-And-Mouse Duo through the '70s, the '80s, and even the '90s, including a feature-length movie produced in the remarkable vein of Don Bluth but completely forgotten and the cute kiddie stuff, Tom and Jerry The Kids. Though they may not have come up so successful as the original and more acclaimed cartoons of the Golden Age, this nevertheless accounts for the continuing popularity of Tom The Grey Cat and Jerry The Brown Mouse possibly into the new millennium for the future children and the diehard cartoon fans.

Summary: This DVD is *almost* perfect.
Review: I am a huge fan of classic (i.e., before 1970) cartoons. In the current absence of Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies DVDs, this Tom and Jerry DVD is my favorite currently existing animation DVD. First, this DVD contains 13 complete and uncut classic Tom and Jerry cartoons. The selection of cartoons is very good. They have lots of action and are very well written. The quality of the picture is superb. They did a very good job of mastering these 13 cartoons. If you are a Tom and Jerry fan then you will be very pleased with these 13 cartoons. Also included is a clip from the movie ANCHOR'S AWAY featuring Jerry dancing with Gene Kelly. I consider this to be a very nice bonus feature. This DVD is *almost* perfect. However, there is one flaw. Specificallly, the cartoon "The Little Orphan" has been edited. In the original cartoon, after a candle lands on Tom's tail, Tom turns black. Then the little mouse throws a champagne bottle at the black Tom, and the black Tom is pushed into a cabinet of dishes. All of this part has been edited out of this cartoon on this DVD. It's really terrible that they would remove part of the cartoon. I paid for the cartoon, and I deserve to get what I paid for.

Summary: Absolutely hilarious.
Review: I have always been a fan of Tom and Jerry from the first time I set my eyes on these two creatures. I have been on a lookout for such a DVD which has most of the cartoons.... Now, let me delve into the DVD itself.

Review: I loved this DVD. I hope for future volumes of there Greatest Chases. I did notice the editing of "The Little Orphan", but the extra bonus of Gene Kelly dancing with Jerry from "Anchors Aweigh" is great.

Summary: Great classic cartoons...
Review: If you're a Tom and Jerry fan, this is a must-have DVD. Better than most of the idiotic cartoons they make now, these are the classic non-Turnerized T&J's (i.e., Tom and Jerry don't speak in these). Even The Brain would want you to buy this DVD.

Summary: Tom And Jerry As I remembered them
Review: Just as the title suggests, this is Tom and Jerry as I remembered them when I was a kid.
When I saw that the Cat Concerto was on it, I just had to buy it as it was my all time favorite of Tom and Jerry. All are as I remember them.. uncut.. except one cartoon where Tom gets burned, otherwise the video and audio quality are very very good. A nice bonus in the DVD is Jerry dancing with Gene Kelly. For cartoon collectors, this one is a must. If you are into modern cartoons where they must be politically correct, non-violent, and have to teach you something, don't buy it.
