Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Tom and Jerry cartoons rank with the Looney Tunes for classic fun and laughs. As such, this *should* be a truly stellar collection simply based on the set title alone. However, it's not unless you're a casual "fan". If you're a serious collector you already have the majority of this collection. If not you want the "Spotlight Collections" and the "Chuck Jones Collection" not this retread. Here's what's included: Disc 1: "Oscar Winners and Classics" Puss Gets the Boot - (T&J Spotlight 2) Midnight Snack - (T&J Spotlight 2) Dog Trouble - (T&J Spotlight 2) Fraidy Cat - (T&J Spotlight 2) Puss 'n' Toots - (T&J Spotlight 2) The Lonesome Mouse - (T&J Spotlight 2) Yankee Doodle Mouse - (T&J Spotlight 1) Mouse Trouble - (T&J Spotlight 1) Mouse in Manhattan - (T&J Spotlight 2) Quiet Please - (T&J Spotlight 1) The Milky Waif - (T&J Spotlight 1) The Cat Concerto - (T&J Spotlight 1) The Little Orphan - (T&J Spotlight 1) Saturday Evening Puss - (T&J Spotlight 2) Two Mouseketeers - (T&J Spotlight 1) Johann Mouse - (T&J Spotlight 1) Touche Pussy Cat - (T&J Spotlight 1) That's My Mommy - (T&J Spotlight 3) The Egg and Jerry - (T&J Spotlight 3) Tops With Pops - (T&J Spotlight 3) Disc 2 - "Through the Decades" Excerpt from "Anchors Aweigh" (Jerry performs a dance routine with Gene Kelly)- (T&J Spotlight 1) Excerpts from "Dangerous When Wet" (a dream sequence where T&J perform a synchronized swimming routine with Esther Williams) - (T&J Spotlight 1) Penthouse Mouse - Chuck Jones collection The Cat Above the Mouse Below - Chuck Jones collection The Cat's Me-Ouch - Chuck Jones collection Karate Guard - (T&J Spotlight 3 - Bonus Feature) Cosmic Cat and Meteor Mouse - new-to-DVD (New Tom and Jerry Show) Jerry's Country Cousin - new-to-DVD (The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show) Flippin' Fido - new-to-DVD (The Tom and Jerry Kids Show) Mansion Cat - new-to-DVD Modern-era A Game of Mouse and Cat - new-to-DVD (Tom and Jerry Tales) Of course, "Mouse Cleaning" and "Casanova Cat," will not be included as WB indicates these will never be released because they're deemed "too offensive". Drawing from the Spotlight collections, the Chuck Jones collection, and only a smattering of "new era" shorts this is a remix intended for those who don't want everything. For that group this could make a stellar purchase as with only 5 "new to DVD" shorts, this collection is truly for casual "fans" only. Collectors need not apply unless one of the 5 modern shorts is very high on your "must own" list. 5 stars for Tom and Jerry 0 for this collection
