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.

Rating : - Awesome For All Ages!
I LOVED Tom and Jerry as a kid. I wanted to share some of the things I love with my 5 year old... and I am happy to say that Tom and Jerry are still adored by kids today. These are the straight up old school toons where Tom and Jerry are not friends. My kid absolutely loves Tom and Jerry now. We sit and laugh everytime Tom get's hit in the head or something crazy happens. These cartoons are so violent it's awesome! I grew up on this stuff and I think the violence in these cartoons is a good thing for the kids. It's not realistic at all and it's some classic humor. Plus, this is a great DVD with great episodes. Tom and Jerry are as much fun today as they were in the past and as much fun as they will continue to be when my great, great grandkids enjoy them as well.
