WHAT HAS HAPPENED AT TOM AND JERRY ONLINE IN THE PAST
Welcome to the News Archive. This is a place where I bore you to death with all the past news from the site :-] There are some links in here that may be out dated and useless, but that doesn't mean that all of them are broken. There are some useful info in this archive which you may want to check out. I've set things up so that all the news of that year is displayed for your viewing/reading pleasure.

Man! The updates keep coming to the site. I did another addition to the site, one day before the end of 2004.If you look to the left you will notice on the navigation, in the Information section, that I've added a page called "Release Dates". This page has some random trivia about the various releases of Tom and Jerry. Basically, it's the Episode Guide Cliff Notes.
I'm working on a review for the Tom and Jerry Spolight DVD, but I'm still a little jaded by the release and subsequent lack of recall information that I'm really slow in getting it done. But I'll have it for the site sooner or later.

With the New Year 3 days away, I decided to add some new info to the Episode Guide. It's not much...but it's something.Enjoy!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and that you will all have a Happy New Year!!I was doing some searching on BestBuy.com, today the 27th of December, and found that there is a new Tom and Jerry DVD coming out. It is called Tom and Jerry: Blast off to Mars. This is the first I've heard of this which bothers me since I still haven't heard anything solid about the Spotlight DVD recall. I've gotten a couple emails that said that there won't be a recall. I can't confirm anything and I haven't read anything recently about the recall. At any rate, there is a new DVD, Tom and Jerry: Blast off to Mars, that's coming out January 18.
With that I bid you all a Happy New Year!

MERRY (early) CHRISTMAS!!!Well, it's been a LONG time since I've updated this site with some new images. So as a present to all the regulars of this site that have been waiting for some new imagery checkout the gallery for 24 new pictures. I've also changed the gallery a bit...there are more images per page. So if you've visited before and saw that the gallery had 17 pages and now it's down to 13, don't worry. I didn't take anything from the gallery.
I've heard a few rumblings about there not being a recall on the Tom and Jerry Spotlight collection. I can't confirm anything as I have not had the time to do so. Also, I have not heard anything in regards to the recall that was spoken of a few months ago. Things are being kept quiet about it, so it would seem.
Anyway, Peace on Earth, Goodwill toward men (and women).

*****************The Second Email is from Aaron over at the New Tom and Jerry Information Page:
I got this from The Golden Age Cartoons Forum, courtesy of one of its members, Javeman!
According to PaulP from the Home Theatre Forums:
"I emailed Jerry Beck after reading this post over at DVDTalk:"
What would also be cool, is if WB would release the remaining Tom and Jerry shorts as well. As you can see on the linked site, there were 13 Gene Deitch and 34 Chuck Jones shorts made after the initial 114 "classic" shorts, so that could very well be the 4th 2-disc set. And then there were 48 more shorts made in 1975 by Hanna-Barbera, which could be the 5th set (probably 3 discs this time)."I asked him this question and his reply was:"
Warner Bros. is aware it owns the rights to all TOM & JERRY cartoons - including the Jones, Deitch and TV cartoons. We do not plan to release any of the later post-MGM cartoons on these collectors sets until after theatrical Hanna-Barbera cartoons were all released.So keep your fingers crossed, New T&J Fans! We may just get our break yet!(However, some Gene Deitch and Chuck Jones Tom & Jerry's have already been released on earlier Warner dvds aimed at kids)
------
In other news, I haven't heard anything about the recall disc with Warner Brothers concerning the Tom and Jerry Spotlight Collection edits. When I do find out I'll let you know.

POSTED: October 23, 2004
My, my, my! Has this been an eventful week. So, since this is Oct. 23 and the last day of the week, I thought I'd add something to the site.I've been asked many times about the violence in cartoons and what my thoughts were about said subjet. So I sat down and finally typed out my thoughts and the results are here: The Violence. I know this is a "can of worms" issue. I don't claim to be an expert on violence, cartoons or otherwise, nor am I a psychologist. So my essay on cartoon violence is written from the stand point of my own life experiences and observations. Take it for what it's worth and please don't send me hate mail if you disagree with it. :-]
By the way, I would like to thank all who sent in emails earlier this week and letting me know about the issues with the latest DVD release from Warner Brothers.
POSTED: October 21, 2004
I was searching, today the 21st, on one of the forums below and happened upon Jerry Beck's (Cartoon Historian who worked on the DVD) post:Warner Bros. Home Video is very, very upset over the edited cartoons that made their way into the TOM & JERRY SPOTLIGHT COLLECTION.
This was a mistake made at the servicing level. Warner Home Video and I became aware of the error only ten days before the official release date - and by then, the dvds were on their way to the stores.
It is part of Warner Bros. Home Video's marketing plan not to release edited or censored cartoons because they know that collectors want them complete.
The company is taking immediate steps to correct the situation. The proper digital masters of all three cartoons have been located and are being prepared now for replication. It may take as long as six to eight weeks to have a corrected disc ready for replacement.
From what I’ve been able to gather, the intention is for fans to be able to replace Disc 1 at no charge to them. I know from personal experience that Warners had a problem a year ago with the film KISS ME KATE. The transfer was not done correctly and fans were upset. Warners responded immediately, created a new transfer and eventually fans recieved replacement discs. It was not an overnight process. But it all worked out in the end.
Those of you waiting for the uncut disc 1 to appear on store shelves, I cannot say when that will happen. It will not happen soon. The quickest way to get the set the way you want it is to buy it now and go through the replacement process.
Despite this inconvience, There is much to recommend on the TOM & JERRY SPOTLIGHT COLLECTION as is. The CinemaScope transfers are amazing, and the never-before-released stereo soundtrack on TOUCHE PUSSY CAT is really fantastic. (Only eight MGM Cartoons were recorded in true stereo at the time and this is the first one to be restored and released as originally intended).

October 20, 2004
The Plot ThickensI got several emails about my post this morning:
I thought I'd let you know that the missing song lyric is apparently only missing in the stereo track and not in the original mono. There are also several other cartoons that have been edited and there's a lot of talk about these edits going on at the two below sights. Jerry Beck has stated that WB is very upset about these edits and they will be offering a replacement.
and
From what I heard....
The Milky Waif (1946) and The Little Orphan (1948) are edited because of the blackface scenes, but Warner home video will set up a disc exchange to get the uncut versions The Frere Jacques song from Touche Pussycat (1954) I guess was omitted when the cartoon was dubbed in stereo (dunno why) It also seems that most of the cartoons are of the same quality as you see on Cartoon Network or Boomerang,Here are some links to forum topics about this:
The Animation Show Forums -> Tom & Jerry DVD Censored!
POSTED: October 20, 2004
I HAVE IT!!!
I bought it last night. But my feelings are a mixture of Joy and Outrage.First the Joy:
I only had time to watch a few cartoons last night, but I was just happy that there was a new Tom and Jerry DVD out that was given a treatment like this...it was LONG overdue.Second...the Outrage:
I will be biting the hands that feed me on this. I am not a happy camper! I watched, for the first time in my life, the letterbox version (original version) of Touche' Pussycat. To my horror it was EDITED!!!! In the original version Nibbles/Tuffy is painting a goofy looking Tom on the wall he is singing "Frere Jacque". In version on the DVD it is cut! Gone! Nibbles/Tuffy is NOT singing the song! The only semblence of it's prior existence in the film is that the melody is there...no singing. My question is WHY! Why was it cut?!? Please someone explain this to me. Did I get a bad DVD? Or was it intentionally cut? Why was it cut from it's original Oscar Winning Version!!!!!!!! What is wrong with these lyrics:Frere Jacque, frere Jacque
Dormez-vous, dormez-vous ?
Sonnez les matines, sonnes les matines
Din, dan, don
Din, dan, don
Are you sleeping, are you sleepingThis weekend I'm going to try to sit down and watch the set and give a more indepth review. But with this initial gut punch edit, I shudder to think what else has been changed. Man! Is it too much to ask for uncut versions?
Brother John, brother John ?
Morning bells are ringing,
Morning bells are ringing,
Ding, ding, dong
Ding, ding, dong
Maybe I have a bad copy of the DVD. Did any one else who bought this DVD experience this? Let me know please!

In other news....the girlfriend and I have just celebrated 9 months of dating. YAY US!
Halloween is just around the corner. I know that there are a lot of fans out there that are looking for costumes. I have no idea where you might get them. The only place that I've found anything is here: .
So if any knows where one might find a costume, PLEASE let me know!

Are you having a case of the "Mondays"? (OfficeSpace reference for those that don't know the quote) If so, here is something that will brighten your Monday, September 13...The news you've been waiting for:Tom and Jerry's Spotlight Collection
POSTED: September 08, 2004
2 days have passed since I last put up a news post. I got some more information in regards to the news post from the 6th of September.
The five volumes of Tom and Jerry cartoons mentioned on your newspage at www.play.com are the region 2 United Kingdom release. They comprise 112 early Hanna-Barbera, plus all 13 Gene Deitch cartoons. (which suggests two missing Hanna-Barbera cartoons, although checking the episode listing, so far the only missing one I can find is The Million Dollar Cat). Volume six is apparently going to contain all 34 Chuck Jones produced cartoons. They definitely include many cut versions, cropped versions of most of the Cinemascope cartoons and several have the 'new' voice of Mammy. They are a start, but far from definitive, and I can't think why they left two episodes out of the collection.Thanks Andrew to the info!

Just a quick note to let you know that I've added 12 new images to the gallery. Thanks to Kamran and Darryl for providing the all but one image for this update. Also, The images that Kamran sent over are from an ebay auction: 10 production drawings from "That's My Mommy". Click Here to see the auction.Short notice News:
For those that have the Turner Classic Movies Channel, they will be showing the movie "Dangerous When Wet" with Esther Williams; tonight August 30, 2004.
For those that don't know the movie and how it relates to Tom and Jerry, well there is a segment there where Esther Williams does some underwater ballet routines and she swims with Tom and Jerry. Don't let the title dismay you...this movie was done in 1953, so I'm sure it's clean enough to let your kids watch it...but I've not seen the movie so don't take my word on that. :-]
**Side Note***
I'm planning on updating the site with some new images...I will hopefully have some time this week to do that...but as per usual, no promises. Just know that it's in the works.

Just got news of a new Tom and Jerry games. Here's the press release for today the 4th of May:------------------------------
For Immediate Release Tuesday the 4th of May 2004
Tom and Jerry Triumph
iDTV Glory For Classic Cat And Mouse Double ActAWARD-WINNING GAME DEVELOPER Denki successfully captures the elusive essence of one of the world's favourite cartoons in Tom and Jerry in "MOUSE PARTY" for Sky Gamestar and Cartoon Network.
The fast-paced, action-packed fun takes place in and around the house and garden common to Tom and Jerry's greatest escapades. This provides the ideal setting for a unique combination of close-shave chases, tense stealth play and extreme cartoon violence.
Players control Jerry who dashes, smashes and bashes his way around the highly interactive environment, using furniture as cover, obstacles or platforms and avoiding cats and traps. Cats are attacked with whatever Jerry lays his hands on, from frying pans and pokers to bowling balls and dynamite. Frantic chases are all the more thrilling thanks to a special system designed to ensure that the cats make challenging and entertaining playmates.
Cats are seen and heard to comically react to Jerry's presence, displaying a range of emotions such as surprise, fear, curiosity and confusion. They are also stupid enough to be encouraged to run into traps or attack each other by mistake. Remarkably, Denki has made a game that's actually funny to watch and play.
Commenting today, Denki's Managing Director, Colin Anderson said: "This has been one of the most successful projects we have undertaken with Sky and Cartoon Network. The fact that it was designed, built, tested, refined and ready for launch in just over nine weeks is quite an achievement, even by our own high standards. Everyone who's played it says it looks and feels like a quality console game."
Sky Gamestar's Senior Games Development Manager, David Bishop agrees: "It's an outstanding treatment of a distinguished brand and a welcome addition to Sky Gamestar's already unrivalled line-up."
Cartoon Network iTV & Mobile Content Manager, Joe Braman, added: "The game is great, challenging, fun, addictive and hits the brand perfectly. I couldn't put the remote down until I had finished it."
Tom and Jerry in "MOUSE PARTY" is live exclusively on Sky Gamestar as of Thursday the 6th of May 2004. Just press the INTERACTIVE button on your Sky Remote Control...

It's May 2, 2004!First off...sorry for the lack of updates to the site (aside from the redesign). My only excuse is that I've been really busy with stuff that have kept me away from updating the site. Namely I had to reformat my home computer so things are still getting reorganized.
Secondly...I and another fan have a mystery on our hands. He has a drawing of Jerry and would like to know from which episode/timeframe it was produced. You can find the drawing here:
Jerry Drawing 1 - color
Jerry Drawing 2 - inversed color
Jerry Drawing 3 - B&W
Send me an email if you have any info regarding this drawing.

2 things for March 25, 2004:1. Tom and Jerry made the Top 20 of 100 Greatest Kids' TV Shows. This was put on by Britain's Channel 4. Check out the results here: http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/G/greatest/kidstv/results.html
2. I know I haven't updated the site in a while and for that I apologized. I'm the process of debate of whether or not to redesign the site or just reorganize it. Plus I've been really busy :-[ I have a few things I can up and I think I'll try to make some time this weekend to put them up on the site. But as always...no promises :-]
I'll let you guys know when and if I've decided on the site redesign and when that will occur and what to expect, and ect. ect.

Some discouraging news today March 16th, brought to you be fellow Tom and Jerry fan, Dean:I would urge folks to avoid the new Tom and Jerry DVD's that are being released, as they are butchered versions of the classic cartoons that we know and love - in fact butchered beyond belief. There is a review of the UK version at www.dvdtimes.co.uk.
I would advise people to go for the Japanese versions instead, which are usually uncut, and they are being re-released very soon and can be ordered fairly cheaply from www.yesasia.com - i've used these people before and they are very good.

News for January 26, 2004.I was going through some files on my computer and happened upon some Tom and Jerry pictures that I had forgotten about. I plan on adding them to the site shortly. I'm not going to give an exact date since for the next week my life is more complicated than normal. :-]
Needless to say it will be in the next couple of weeks..possibly during the early days of February. With this update I plan on fixing some issues that I discovered with the picture gallery. I think I'm going to set it up to display the latest additions first and the oldest pictures last.
I still haven't heard anything new about DVD box set from Warner Brothers.
By the way, if anyone has any information regarding Tom and Jerry kids, specifically episode guide, please email me. I am aware of the guide at tvtome.com and bcdb.com but there is no synopsis and I'm not familiar enough with that series to put up any information about. So if you have anything about Tom and Jerry Kids, please let me know.
