However, it really sets things up for what to expect on Disc Two.ĭisc Two is a sad one for any lover of the oldies. But Disc One ends with the narrated, widescreen, 2006 release, "Prehisterics," which is arguably less memorable and a weak way to end the disc. Classics like "Mouse Trouble," "Little School Mouse," and "Jerry and the Lion" are just wonderful additions. The rest of Disc One is mostly classic episodes from the Hanna Barbera era, from different decades during that time period. It's, again, kind of jarring to jump from the 60s to 2008 in style, music, and execution, but some T&J fans will probably appreciate the variety. Then we're catapulted to 2008 for "Hockey Schtick," which is also the first Tom & Jerry cartoon on here featured in widescreen, and it has Tom trying to play hockey on an iced-over pond (with some nods to one of my favorite Tom & Jerry episodes, "Mouse In Manhattan," which sadly isn't on here). The next few follow the same Chuck Jones style, offering a similar look and feel to the original Grinch cartoon. The Hanna Barbera classic golf tale "Tee for Two" is next and then it jumps ahead to 1967 for the Chuck Jones era "Rock 'n' Rodent," featuring Jerry in a nightclub-style band. There's a distinct 60's feel to it with bizarre sound effects and flat, seemingly lazy animation - and Tom is even in tears at the end of the story. The DVD compilation Mouse Trouble sadly opens with "Down and Outing," one of those infamous shorts from that era. However, I had always really, really hated the early 60's shorts from Gene Deitch/Rembrandt and would either turn them off or skip them if they happened to be on the show at the time I'd tune in.

To be honest, I've always preferred the Hanna Barbera era of Tom & Jerry that spanned 1940–1958, and often watched it on TV as a kid growing up in the 80s and 90s. The generation-mixing of Tom & Jerry cartoons here can be a bit jarring at times. A new DVD release, titled Mouse Trouble, named after the 1944 Oscar-winning short, compiles 30 animated shorts from the 1940s on down to the 2000's. There's been quite an evolution of the cartoon shorts over the years and depending on when you've been exposed to this dynamic duo, you may prefer one version of them over another. Tom & Jerry have been a lovable pair that have certainly come a long way since their debut over 70 years ago. Since 1940, a certain cat and mouse have worked their way into the hearts of millions with their hilarious-and super violent-animated antics.
