Cats chase mice--it's a simple law of nature--but few have cultivated the art of the chase as skillfully as Hanna Barbera did in their animated Tom and Jerry cartoons in the mid-1940s and early-1950s. Every episode is essentially an extended comedic chase bursting with subterfuge, destruction, and an abundance of action. Tom, the cat, is 100-percent fixated on catching Jerry, the mouse, so when Tom can't seem to prevail in a simple chase, he resorts to a mail-order book for some new techniques that are sure to yield results in the Academy Award®-winning "Mouse Trouble." Unfortunately for Tom, Jerry is uncannily able to outthink even the most elaborate plan. Light is shed on the strangely protective relationship between the bulldog, Spike, and Jerry in "The Bodyguard," and it seems that no matter how hard Tom tries, he will never be able to placate, outsmart, or avoid Spike in the Oscar®-winning "Quiet Please!" or episodes "Cat Fishin'," and "Slicked-Up Pup." Tom suffers all sorts of indignities in this compilation, not the least of which are being dressed up as a baby by a bossy young girl in "Baby Puss" (not "Sufferin' Cats" as listed on the DVD cover) and being challenged by his fellow cats in "Sufferin' Cats," but his cousin Muscles Mouse eventually teaches him to stick up for himself in the Oscar®-nominated "Jerry's Cousin." Even a million dollars can't keep Tom from chasing Jerry in "Million Dollar Cat," but the crafty mouse repeatedly proves impossible to catch, especially in "Invisible Mouse." The birds and the fish gang up with Jerry in "Flirty Birdy" and "Jerry and the Goldfish," a game of billiards proves anything but simple when Jerry's around in "Cue Ball Cat," and "Heavenly Puss" gives Tom a frightening opportunity to reflect on the morality of his actions. Silly cartoon violence abounds in just about every moment of every short, and while it might no longer be deemed suitable for young children, it will inspire smiles and hearty laughter in adults and older children. --Tami Horiuchi

4.0 out of 5 stars Not remastered, but still entertaining and fun trip down memory lane, July 9, 2009

This review is from: Tom and Jerry's Greatest Chases, Vol. 2 (DVD)

These are classic Tom and Jerry cartoons from the 40s/50s. No Chuck Jones, thank goodness. Personally, I do not care for the Chuck Jones directed ones. Anyway, there are 14 o 15 shorts -- not remastered. The sound goes low in 3 of them and then comes back to normal. I really didn't pay attention to this since there's not any dialouge. The picture looks as if they transferred it right from the 16mm. But it's not completely horrible. No Mammy Two Shoes. Cartoons included on this disc are Jerry's Cousin, Jerry and the Goldfish, Slicked Up Pup, Quiet Please -- also, the one where Tom is dressed up as a baby and 3 cats make fun of him, the one where the bird falls in love with Tom, "Just Whistle" with Spike helping Jerry. I have been wanting to buy the Spotlight collections but have been hesitant because of the reviews saying they are edited. I love Tom and Jerry, but I want the uncut versions. Even without Mammy Two Shoes, the Greatest Chases DVDs are worth getting.
