Tom and Jerry have been capturing the laughter and hearts
of children and adults alike around the World for decades.
Now the unstoppable duo are back, this time with a brand new
compilation of their fun-filled frolics that start from the
very beginning...
Volume
three in the Tom and Jerry Classic Collection sees
the addition of another 26 episodes of everyone's favourite
cat and mouse team. There are two Academy Award winning episodes
in this release: The Two Mouseketeers and Johann
Mouse - both of which you'll probably already have seen
a thousand times, but there still worth viewing again.
These
cartoons certainly show their age in a couple of episodes.
Racism may have been acceptable when these were originally
made, but there are a few examples which are not so amusing
in today's PC environment. In Casanova
Cat
Jerry is burnt and made to look like a black and white minstrel.
And Jerry also black up in His Mouse Friday. Incidentally,
the final shot in His Mouse Friday seems to have been
edited to save racist complaints from buyers of this collection.
The last scene zooms in on Jerry as a cannibal mouse pokes
him with a spear.
The
DVD menus were also a little confusing. While this DVD is
being marketed as volume 3, the DVD menus list it as volume
5 and 6 (you have to turn the disc over to watch all the episodes).
Whichever
way you look at it, this DVD is excellent value for money
- working out at around 50 pence an episode. There is more
than enough quality entertainment included here to keep everyone
amused for hours.
