VOLUME 1 The Tom and Jerry legacy chases through every nook and cranny of the classic animation pantheon, spanning six decades and several famous directors. Looney Tunes icons Friz Freleng, Tex Avery and Chuck Jones all played their part. But the enduring cat-and-mouse team was the brainchild of William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Their first short, Puss Gets the Boot (in which Tom was called Jasper), was released with little fanfare. When unleashed on audiences, their hilariously diabolical rivalry delighted everyone. This set of 40 restored and remastered shorts includes nine Academy Award nominees and seven winners. VOLUME 2 Trends come and go... but the chase is eternal, just like the evergreen appeal of animation's supreme cat-and-mouse team! This second volume of Tom and Jerry's cartoon capers boasts 37 classic shorts. This delicious assortment covers their golden years. Get ready to duck, weave, jump and laugh as the hapless feline and the wily rodent take each other on. VOLUME 3 Tom may catch Jerry on occasion, but no one really believes the adorable little mouse will come to harm. After all, it would mean the end to the most popular and beloved cat-and-mouse act in show business. This is the third and final collection of theatrical shorts, showcasing 35 classic cartoons, 15 remastered in their original CinemaScope widescreen format. Tom and Jerry remain the friskiest animated adversaries of all time. Catch them if you can. Review: What can be said about Tom & Jerry that hasn’t already been said by thousands, if not millions, of other people? The gutbustingly funny cat and mouse duo, with their unique brand of hilariously brutal violence blended in with a tremendous jazzy music score, have truly transcended time and been cartoon icons for over 80 years. And besides the Looney Tunes, no Golden Age animated stars were ever as great as them. This is as close to a "Complete Series" DVD set for the original Hanna-Barbera run (AKA the most beloved era) of Tom & Jerry as we're ever likely to get, since Warner Bros. Home Video is too cowardly to ever release "Mouse Cleaning" and "Casanova Cat" on physical media. This set does not include the audio commentaries from the original standalone releases of the three Spotlight Collection volumes of T&J whose shorts have all been bundled together here, but all the OTHER special features from those sets have thankfully been ported over. As somebody who doesn't care too much for traditional audio commentaries on any physical media title not either put out by Disney or a release of a Matt Groening show, the removals of the ones recorded for Tom & Jerry isn't really a loss for me. The new menus for this bundle pack have the same incredibly basic design as the ones used for the recent Diamond Collection reprints of Hanna-Barbera shows, just placing the listings for each "episode" (short) and the DVD set's cover on top of a black void. But hey, at least unlike those inferior H-B DVD re-releases, the special features from the original versions of the sets being reprinted (minus the audio commentaries) have been ported over, so it's not a bad deal at all! Quite the opposite really, especially since, as I mentioned earlier, this combo set is only $20, which is just $5 more than the amount of cash you would have to pay for a brand new copy of ONE of the individual Spotlight Collection volume DVD sets of Tom & Jerry. If you don't mind not having the commentaries (or the nostalgic ads for other old Warner Bros. DVDs) from the original Spotlight sets, either, it's a very easy and adorable way to get as much vintage Tom & Jerry as you can in just one fell swoop for a great price, AND in a very convenient package with some cool extras, to boot. I still recommend also getting the one and only Tom & Jerry Golden Collection on either DVD or Blu-ray if you have the extra cash or shelf space to double-dip, though, for its drastically improved picture quality (even on the DVD version) and unique extras. Review: Los mejores cartones, llegó antes de tiempo, bien empacado, es una excelente colección, el inconveniente es qué vienen los discos apilados uno arriba del otro y el riesgo de daño es mayor a que los pongan separados, por lo demás excelente 👌.

Classic cartoon mayhem by Bill and Joe. The original MGM theatrical shorts, some even in the cinemascope widescreen aspect ratio. Lots of slapstick violence and just brilliant animation and artwork from the golden age of Hollywood animation.

Incluye casi todas las caricaturas, solo faltan dos capítulos que fueron clasificados como racistas y los removieron, pero son una joya, cómprenlo sin duda.
