But I gave it a shot and then thought, "I should have bought them sooner". So,...No regrets. Glad I did. <br />Tom & Jerry was the first cartoon series I began watching once I grew too old for Sesame Street in the afternoon. I caught on that the both of them are very destructive tyrants, and there is constant raucus, plus endless dentistry bills. I can't imagine two small animals with that much carte blanche? They have no perimeters. Worse than bull in china shop. Jerry is more an instigator than antagonist. Jerry is also the hero of smaller or less sophistcated animals. Protecting either a fish, a bird, a duck or another mouse probably related to; trying to stop or thwart the ever preying Tom. At moments it's more than Jerry can handle but if he can lift an anvil he always regains control. Every now and then there is a bulldog cameo who sometimes I felt sorry for when half the time only trying to protect his son and wants to be left alone. All three characters are very manipulative and know exactly how to anger each other. <br />The Academy Award winning episode "The Cat Concerto" was then and still is my very favorite, and have two copies of it also from the Warner Brothers Home Entertainment Academy Awards Animation Collection - 15 Winners, 26 Nominees. For a while I needed to know what that wonderful music adapted to it was? It is the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in C-Sharp Minor of Franz Liszt (1811-1886)Related product:The Best Of Liszt Which I also have a few recordings of influenced by that cartoon episode. <br />Like the rest of them are perfectly timed with The MGM Studio Orchestra, and outrageous sound effects made it Hanna-Barbera's most sensational effort. No other cat and mouse routine surpasses...Tom & Jerry. <br /> Rating: 5 / 5 I saw these dvds in stores or online and thought,”Why bother buying them for they are still on the Cartoon Network?, and nothing new.” But I gave it a shot and then thought, “I should have bought them sooner”.

Tom & Jerry was the first cartoon series I began watching once I grew too old for Sesame Street in the afternoon. I caught on that the both of them are very destructive tyrants, and there is constant raucus, plus endless dentistry bills. I can’t imagine two small animals with that much carte blanche?

Like the rest of them are perfectly timed with The MGM Studio Orchestra, and outrageous sound effects made it Hanna-Barbera’s most sensational effort. No other cat and mouse routine surpasses…Tom & Jerry.

Turns out they still are... the cartoon creators of that time were comic geniuses. I can still watch these cartoons and others of the time like Bugs Bunny and still laugh my arse off (despite the occasional racial depiction). It fell short of five stars because there are a few repeats throughout the six discs and disc two of volume two has some of the "newer" episodes of the mid and late fifties that had inferior animation and were not that funny. Overall, highly recommend for the Tom and Jerry fan. Rating: 4 / 5 I grew up with these cartoons and always thouht they were hilarious.

It is like the ones with Fred Quincy or the ones where the Hanna-Barbera duo worked one. Not the garbage Chuck Jones or that European trash that is just made of fail (music in those just plain suck). This collection gives you like 800 minutes of excellence all unedited, so you can see how America was like in the 40s to 60s. <br /> <br />Recommendation: Like Tom and Jerry, buy this immediately Rating: 5 / 5 This collection is well worth your money.

They are on equal terms with Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies. William Hanna/Joseph Barbera was probably the best cartoons, along with Fred Quimby. The backgrounds, layouts, drawings and animations were first rate. Tom and Jerry, when produced/directed by Chuck Jones carried on the tradition with a very sincere and most respectful effort, but somehow lost the spark of the earlier cartoons. Everything about Jones's production was first rate though. The worst produced/directed happened when Gene Deitch took over some of Tom and Jerry. Every aspect was some of the worst cartoons ever produced by trying to update their comic war with each other. The animation was substandard at best. Overall, the spotlight collection is a must for any Tom and Jerry fan, along with some of the Tom and Jerry Tales. Tom and Jerry and Looney Tunes continue to be above all the crowd as being the utmost BEST cartoons to be produced and very much carry weight over the poor animation of the cartoons of today.
