I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love Tom and Jerry. Lots of people thing the Chuck Jones Looney Tunes are the greatest cartoons ever made and I will disagree. Hanna-Barbera’s Tom and Jerry are the best hands down! I was real excited to find out that Warner Bros. has released two dvds of classic Tom and Jerry cartoons. There are some draw-backs though. The cartoons are not in their original theatrical ratios (ie widescreen or letterboxed). Plus, a couple of the cartoons have been cut to fit with the “politically correct” times we live in and that’s a shame. The rumor on the internet is that next year will see the complete set of Hanna/Barbera’s Tom and Jerry uncut and letterboxed on dvd. When that day comes I will wet myself several times and then pass out from sheer joy. In the meantime you can check out Tom and Jerry Online. It’s a totally kick-ass site with tons of info (episode guides, images and video release news) on America’s favorite cat and mouse duo.
