Product Type: DVD

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
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.

5 out of 5 stars Classic stuff!.......2007-07-07

Our son is but 7 months old but he enjoys the odd cartoon when he is sitting in his chair relaxed. But I cant stand today's cartoons, most of them are really rubbish, they don't have that magical quality as cartoons like this had in my time, today its just weirdness that seems to cater more for the junkie than children. So it was my pleasure to introduce Tom and Jerry for a start.

5 out of 5 stars Ahh the good ol' days of TV.......2007-06-19

I got this for my son who is 4 and it takes me back to watching them when I was around his age. Great quality, great Tom & Jerry choices.

5 out of 5 stars YEAH! Classic T&J takes me back to when I was 5.......2007-06-17


Wow..nothing says 1940 like a good Tom and Jerry cartoon! This DVD is worth every penny. Don't steal it from the internet...purchase it here and do the right thing. These episodes are classic and took me back to my childhood. I had not seen some of these since I was very little and it was fun to explore the animation of the day. The animators from back then really had ability that has since been long lost.

get this DVD. it's worth it!

4 out of 5 stars Great DVD for the price.......2007-06-08

My son is 4 years old and absolutely loves this DVD. He first saw Tom and Jerry on our local cable TV but it only comes on Saturday mornings, so this was a great DVD for him. It has so many short episodes it keeps his attention, especially in the car on long trips. Well worth the money.

5 out of 5 stars A mean,stupid cat and a sweet,lovable mouse.......2007-03-15

If you're a fan of MGM theatrical cartoons,this item is for you. Tom and Jerry has audiences,young and old,cracking up with their hilarious hijinks. Tom meets a pretty girl cat on the beach in SALT WATER TABBY. Jerry takes interest in the girl cat. The same girl cat is seen in SOLID SERENADE. Tom musically woos her via bass fiddle,disturbing Jerry's sleep. Jerry is automatically bounced out of bed on his face and stomach and the rhythm of the bass keeps bouncing Jerry. Tom impresses another female cat(not a glamourous one,though) wearing a "zoot suit" in THE ZOOT CAT. The usually totally silent Jerry speaks one line in the cartoon,"What's cooking,toots?". Tom spoke in the cartoon also,a little more than Jerry. Tom's suit shrinks to the point where it now fits Jerry! Jerry is off to Manhattan in MOUSE IN MANHATTAN,only to be met with disappointment. Jerry was used to apply shoe polish(he ends up in blackface,a scene never seen on some TV stations including Cartoon Network). He even felt light friction of the heavy New York City traffic. So,he's back home with Tom and again in his hole in the wall. TEE FOR TWO features a lawnmower-shorn Tom and his bee-stung mouth(courtesy of angry,intimidated bees). THE YANKEE DOODLE MOUSE was excellent. If I'm not mistaking,it was at least an Academy Award nominee. Tom is a concert pianist in the Oscar-winning THE CAT CONCERTO. Jerry is asleep inside the grand piano Tom is playing on stage and the striking hammers inside awake Jerry. Jerry,angry with Tom,finishes the performance himself and dons a tuxedo in the final scene with the spotlight shining on him. THE LITTLE ORPHAN,another Academy Award nominee,features Tom,Jerry and Jerry's visiting nephew Nibbles playing Thanksgiving scenes and in the final scene,praying before consuming the Thanksgiving dinner. Nibbles eats all of the turkey like a termite! He appears rotund in the final scene. In KITTY FOILED,there's Tom,Jerry and an unnamed canary riding a train set on the living room floor. In the final scene,Jerry and the canary are happily whistling away in the canary's cage. An excerpt of this cartoon became stock footage for LIFE WITH TOM(not seen on this DVD). JERRY'S DIARY contains stock footage from previous cartoons(released before that one). Tom was so furious about many of the statements Jerry wrote about him in his diary. Jerry comes along only to meet Tom who splatters a pie all over Jerry and his hole in the wall. The other cartoons are awesome. I loved them as a kid over two decades ago.

Product Description

This great collection includes the following 3 Tom and Jerry titles: 1) Tom and Jerry: The Magic Ring: Left in charge of a magical ring by his young wizard master, Tom is horrified when the ring gets stuck on Jerry's head -- and the little mouse takes off into the big city! Befire you can say "abracadabra", the sorcerer's ring is spouting a torrent of mischievous magic, and Tom and Jerry are up to their ears in the most hilarious escapade of their lives! 2) Tom and Jerry: The Movie: Tom and Jerry return to the silver screen in a magical, music-filled extravaganza! The celebrated cat-and-mouse team meet Robyn Starling, a runaway who desperately needs their help to find her missing father. Despite heroic efforts, Tom and Jerry are captured by Robyn's nasty Aunt Figg and her lawyer Lickboot, then tossed into pet prison by the villainous Dr. Applecheeks. Tom and Jerry brilliantly mastermind a great escape and free their new friends, Puggsy and Frankie Da Flea. Together with Robyn, they set off on a wild cat-and-mouse escapade, full of thrills and adventure like you've never seen. 3) Tom and Jerry: Tom and Jerry's Greatest Chases: The fast and furr-ious Tom and Jerry are at it again. They cause fireworks in Yankee Doodle Mouse, hit the beach in Salt Water Tabby, tear up the links in Tee For Two and crack the ice in Mice Follies. Tom plays piano in The Cat Concerto, plucks strings in Solid Serenade, and lends vocals to Zoot Cat, while Jerry duets in Johann Mouse. Jerry transforms in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Mouse, and becomes a Mouse in Manhattan. Meet their new friends in Jerry and the Lion, The Little Orphan, Kitty Foiled, and learn cat-trapping secrets from Jerry's Diary.

4 out of 5 stars A classic.......2006-08-18

I bought this for my 3 1/2 year old son to watch on our portable DVD player on a trip from Georgia to Pennsylvania. Let's just say, I can recognize which cartoon is playing from the music. He loves the 14 cartoon collection. The set also comes with 2 movies, but he prefers the cartoons. Would rather have purchased without the movies, but he may like them when he is older. This is such a classic cartoon; my husband and I enjoy watching it with him and his 14 month old sister is begining to enjoy it as well.

3 out of 5 stars Tom & Jerry's Greatest Chases is great.. the rest is sad..........2004-07-12

Tom & Jerry's Greatest Chases is great! It's the Hanna/Barbera/Quimby animated shorts from the 50's. The other two are movies that were done in 1992 and 2001. "Tom and Jerry and the Magic Ring" is *OK* and my kids enjoy it. But "Tom and Jerry - The Movie" is just bad... I can see why this 3-pack was put together - it's the only way to sell the junk disc...

4 out of 5 stars 2 Out Of 3 Ain't Bad.......2003-10-30

Tom & Jerry...my favorite cartoon duo. This is a 3 dvd set. The first one "Tom & Jerry's Greatest Chases" features 14 of the greatest Tom & Jerry cartoons. It also features an excerpt from the movie "Anchors Aweigh" with Gene Kelly dancing with Jerry. This DVD by itself is definitly worth the purchase, if you are an old time Tom & Jerry fan this may be the only DVD of the 3 you may want. All the cartoons are classics. On the 2nd DVD "Tom And Jerry:The Magic Ring" this is actually an amusing movie, not quite as good as the earlier cartoons but it does include 2 excellent cartoons on it..."The Flying Sorceress" which features Tom going wild and crazy with a witches broom & "Haunted Mouse". Overall "The Magic Ring" is pretty good but again, not as good as the classic Tom & Jerry cartoons. On the 3rd DVD "Tom & Jerry:The Movie" this one I really didn't like...maybe it's good for the children who didn't grow up with Tom & Jerry but for me having watched all the old cartoons I didn't really care for the "talking" Tom & Jerry. This DVD however also features 2 old Tom & Jerry Cartoons "The Invisible Mouse" which is ok and "Just Ducky" which was very good. Overall this is a good collection...but if you just want the classic Tom & Jerry then just buy the first DVD on it's own "Tom & Jerry:Greatest Chases".
