Tom & Jerry

The almost complete Tom & Jerry. The only thing missing are the 45 cartoons aired by CBS in the early 80's on the Tom & Jerry Comedy Show......but that is no great loss. Obviously, the jewels of this set are the cartoons produced by MGM for theatrical release between 1940 and 1958 and to a lesser extent the Chuck Jones produced cartoons between 1963 and 1967 - and all of those are found on the first three disks. Not only are they all found, but are excellent quality and in their original form with one small exception. The Tom & Jerry cartoons were butchered for years. Censored, cropped, dubbed...you name it. These have all the original dialogue and original screen size. Many of the cartoons in the 50's were made in wide Cinemascope and that is how you will see them here. And if you've read this far, you probably are well aware of how many of the Tom & Jerry cartoons were censored for the past 50+ years. The only censorship you will find here lasts about two seconds in the cartoon His Mouse Friday, which made its debut in theaters on 7 July 1951 and is found on disc 2. 

What you see in that cartoon is this:

What people in theaters in July 1951 saw is this:

but other than that, all the politically incorrect and violent original content remains in place. Some of the finest animation ever produced. Also included are the two 1957 "solo" cartoons featuring Tom & Jerry characters Spike and Tyke.
