Review: No One can say that they don't like TOM AND JERRY. Its really a good colletion and it is always great to watch them on a DVD. You get a laugh from start to finish.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: far-out!
Review: originally, i bought this for my niece and nephew. yet, upon viewing the entire dvd, i just love it. watching it, in reality, brings torrents of memories of my childhood, resurrecting the child in me once more. just wish that more of these old tom and jerry cartoon can be produced in dvd format, since this format is more convenient than the vhs one. and if they indeed produce the old tom and jerry cartoons in the dvd format, then i guess i've got to start collecting them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ANIMATED ANTICS AT THEIR MOUSEY BEST!
Review: Talk about animated antics! The fine folk at Tuner have been mousing around, and they came up with the cat's meow! (Groan here.) This collectible collection features 14 classic cartoons from the Oscar-winning duo, including bonus footage of Jerry hoofing with MGM maven Gene Kelly from the big-screen classic "Anchors Aweigh."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unseen footage
Review: The DVD is great. Sharp colors, good sound.
But watching the episode in which Jerry goes to Manhattan I couldn't help notice there is a 5-8 seconds sequence that you won't find in today's Cartoon Network version.

Jerry is dipped down, as if its head was a shoe brush, into a jar of black cleaning solution and when its finally pulled out he looks the way they used to portrait black people in the 50's. ( Of course, the cartoon was made then ).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Delightful!
Review: The kids and I loved this one. Very good quality cartoons, very colorful, good picture quality. Fun, Fun, Fun!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: No where near the quality of Looney Tunes....
Review: These cartoons have not aged well. The jokes are not funny, the music stinks, and the chases were done a lot better by Willie E. Coyote and Road Runner.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: "The Little Orphan" is heavily edited
Review: This DVD would have got 5+++ stars if "The Little Orphan" had not been butchered. I really do not see a reason for this. Other cartoons that are included here have even more "politically incorrect" and "violent" bits. So, why they did that to "The Little Orphan" and left the remaining 13 cartoons intact is beyond me. They could have simply released the 13 unedited cartoons and, believe me, everyone would have appreciated this DVD much more. This injustice to the H-B masterpiece infuriates me every time I watch these toons. Because of that unacceptable, unreasonable, ridiculous flaw this DVD gets only 3 stars from me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is currently my favorite animation DVD.
Review: This is the very first DVD of Tom and Jerry cartoons. It has a total of 14 shorts, plus a clip from the movie ANCHOR'S AWAY featuring Jerry doing a dance with Gene Kelly. The 14 cartoons that they included are all excellent. A few Oscar winners are included. All 14 are from the early period when Tom and Jerry were directed by Hanna and Barbera. Most of these are cartoons that I have never seen before. There is quite a bit of violence in these cartoons, and that's good, because that's how cartoons are supposed to be! Several of the cartoons have blackface gags, so if you are offended by that kind of thing, then I am letting you know in advance. For example, there's a scene where Jerry's face is dipped in shoe polish, and afterwords he has a blackface.

Unfortunatley, one of the cartoons has been edited! This really ticks me off! In the original version of "The Little Orphan," a lit candle lands on Tom's tail. His whole body is burned and turns black. Then the black Tom gets pushed into a cabinet of dishes. But on this DVD, the entire part where Tom is black has been deleted. This really Ticks me off! It's bad enough that they edit the cartoons when they play them on TV, but to edit them on a DVD is beyond ridiculous. Actually, I knew that the DVD was edited even before I bought it, but I bought it anyway because I love these cartoons! But still I don't understand why they edited it. I own plenty of R-rated movies with content that some people might view as being "offensive," but none of those are edited. So I guess some people think that a cartoon is somehow more offensive than an R-rated movie.

Well, despite this one flaw, this is an excellent DVD. The other 13 cartoons are all complete and uncut. The picture and sound quality is absolutely amazing. There's this one cartoon where Jerry is on top of a skyscaper in New York City, and he's hanging over the edge and when they show the moving traffic down below I almost got dizzy looking at it. All those itty bitty cars show up so clear on my TV screen. They really did a good job with the picture and sound here. Also it's nice to be able to watch these cartoons without any of those stupid network TV logos on the screen.

Summary: No where near the quality of Looney Tunes....
Review: This one was worth the money. My favroite episode is the Cat Concerto where Tom plays the Hungarian Rhapsody on the piano and Jerry runs in and out of the piano, causing Tom to have to play faster and faster to keep up. There 14 cartoons and a special bonus where Jerry dances with Gene Kelly in an excerpt from Anchors Aweigh. The Cartoons included are: Yankee Doodle Mouse, Salt Water Tabby, Tee for Two, Mice Follies, The Cat Concerto, Solid Serenade, Zoot Cat, Johann Mouse, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Mouse, Mouse in Manhattan, Jerry and the Lion, The Little Orphan, Kitty Foiled, and Jerry's Diary. The entire DVD lasts about 90 minutes and is well worth the money. We'll be taking it in our minivan this summer when we travel.
