The Tom and Jerry Spotlight Collection is a series of two-disc DVD sets, released by Warner Home Video. Originally planned as an uncensored, chronological set, the issued Spotlight Collection sets wound up including selected Tom and Jerry shorts on each volume.

Overview

The first of two volumes of MGM'sTom & Jerry cartoons from the early 1940's thru the mid-1950's, this double-DVD set -- which is simply titled 'The Spotlight Collection' with no volume number attached, but was followed by a second volume labeled as such -- has just about everything that the casual fan might want in the way of the cartoon duo's antics. The film-to-video transfers are excellent, displaying a clarity that makes the opening credits on even the earliest titles seem almost like they're in 3-D. Most of these cartoons look extraordinary, in the depth and richness of their color and their detail, whether they're the 1940's and early '50's 'academy ratio' (i.e. full-screen, 1.33-to-1) releases or the mid-1950's CinemaScope (2.55-to-1, 2.35-to-1) widescreen cartoons. And if the visual treats aren't enough, there's a ton of special features tacked on that, for once, are almost as entertaining as the cartoons themselves. This includes some very engaging commentary tracks by writer/historian Jerry Beck on three of the best cartoons -- ones that define the different aspect of the appeal of Tom & Jerry -- plus a well-detailed (and very entertaining) documentary on how Tom & Jerry-creators William Hanna and Joseph Barbera came to MGM and also came to be working together, and how various highlights of the animated shorts came about. That same documentary gets us into a highly illuminating story of the evolution and presentation of the first Tom & Jerry cartoon to win an Academy Award, Cat Concerto, and some unexpected competition that came from Warner Bros. in that same year. There's also a documentary tribute to the MGM Studio Orchestra and its role in the Tom & Jerry cartoons, and the work of music director Scott Bradley (he wasn't quite Warner Bros.' Carl Stalling, but he had his own impressive and distinctive creative flourishes); and we get clips from MGM feature films of Jerry the Mouse dancing with Gene Kelly and Tom and Jerry dancing with Esther Williams. Each disc opens automatically to a simple, easy-to-use menu that offers quick access to the special features -- which are spread among the two discs -- and the full range of cartoons, in addition to having a 'play all' feature. And it's all great fun as well as being highly informative.
(Redirected from Tom and Jerry: Classic Collection)

Tom and Jerry: The Classic Collection is a series of Region 2 DVD sets released by Warner Home Video featuring Tom and Jerry. These DVDs are available in 6 double-sided DVDs (issued in the United Kingdom) and 12 single-layer DVDs (issued throughout Europe and Australia). The DVDs in the UK were re-released as 'Collector Editions', which were Digipak versions with 2 Volumes inside.

For years, companies could insure only key personnel deemed essential to the business. “I want a summary sheet that has the Dead Peasants in the third column,” one of Winn-Dixie Stores Inc.’s insurance consultants wrote in a 1996 memo. But a loosening of state rules in the 1980s allowed for an explosion in a new kind of COLI that covers rank-and-file workers — known in the insurance industry as janitors insurance or, in at least one instance, dead peasants insurance. Walmart policy for employees.

The UK box set version

None of the cartoons in the set have been restored; all were sourced by TV prints created by Turner Entertainment in the 1990s for Cartoon Network and Boomerang airings. Some of the cartoons in these DVD sets are censored due to perceived racial stereotypes.

Shorts produced in CinemaScope are presented in pan and scan for showing on the 4:3 aspect ratio television screen, except for remake shorts The Egg and Jerry, Tops with Pops and Feedin' the Kiddie. These shorts are not in anamorphic widescreen, like the American Spotlight collections; instead, they are in a 4:3 windowbox format.
