Tom and Jerry’s Greatest Chases
THE ORGINAL CAT AND MOUSE MISCHIEF MAKES GO AT IT IN THIS FABULOUS COLLECTION OF 15 VINTAGE SHORTS, INCLUDING THE ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING BEST CARTOON SHORT SUBJECTS THE CAT CONCERTO(1946), JOHANN MOUSE (1952), THE LITTLE ORPHAN (1948) AND YANKEE DOODLE MOUSE (1943), PLUS OTHER DVD BONUSES.Classic cartoon fans will delight in the bevy of classic Tom and Jerry animated shorts, each of which ends in the proclamation “Made in Hollywood, U.S.A.,” and most of which are from the ’40s. Fifteen episodes (totaling more than an hour) are featured. Included are: “The Cat Concerto,” “Johann Mouse,” “The Little Orphan,” “Yankee Doodle Mouse,” “Salt Water Tabby,” “Tee for Two,” “Solid Serenade,” “Zoot Cat,” “Johann Mouse,” “Dr. Jekyll” and Mr. Mouse,” “Mouse in Manhattan,” “Kitty Foiled,” “The Little Orphan,” and “Jerry’s Diary.” It might surprise more mature viewers, with fond recollections of the adventures of the gray cat and the little mouse, how relentlessly violent (albeit cartoon violence) the ‘toons are. This video, a collection of chase-centric films, is notably chock full of head bangin’, body bashing, poisoning, and all-around disorder.
The absolute highlight are two shorts low on smashin’ and high on entertainment: “The Cat Concerto” and “Mouse in Manhattan,” the first with Tom as the focus and the second with Jerry. They both involve forays into entertainment, a great soundtrack, and a fun story. The DVD edition adds “The Worry Song” from Anchors Aweigh, the classic showcase of the amazing (and oft-copied) duet of animation and live action, as Jerry dances with the wonderful Gene Kelly. Contrasted with the PC content of today’s ‘toons, Tom and Jerry is a literal blast from the past–a must for collectors, and for parents comfortable with explaining that Tom isn’t really burned to ashes, and Jerry hasn’t been beheaded. –N.F.

This DVD is *almost* perfect.,
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.
