Animation Scoop

Good review. I'm going to try to obtain a copy of this DVD set to add to my collection.

It looks like every [tom] & [jerry] theatrical cartoon is now available on DVD with the exception of two controversial ones.

If you really want those two and are willing to import, they've been released on DVD uncut in the UK.

I got it. The interview about this version helps put this oddball series in light.

Oh how I wish WB would fire their current lawyers and hire new ones so they won't have this problem on those 2 controversial [tom] and [jerry] cartoons anymore. I'm getting sick of it!#-o

Something I have to point out about this DVD set, the restored prints look a bit too dark IMO. It's very noticeable in Switchin Kitten, while the audio quality is very good.

Also, I had another thread with a possibly lost scene in Landing Stripling, because the soundtrack for that short in the DVD has mostly been sourced from the Turner print which cut the extra part to keep it in sync.
