Here's 10 more vintage cartoons from the Tom and Jerry archives, created by those master animators Hanna and Barbera, who later gave us the immortal Flintstones. The episodes are Cruise Cat, Neopolitan Mouse, Posse Cat, The Two Mousecateers, Mucho Mouse, Cat Fishn’, Texas Tom, The Cat and the Mermouse, Million Dollar Cat and In the Hollywood Bowl, and they'll delight the young, while the very stylish Hollywood Bowl entry should just about please everyone. Yes, they're definitely for the younger audience, and adults will find not much reason to be detained here. Put them on for the kids, and just take a glance now and then just to be reassured that the old magic is still there -- at least, for the young.

Vintage material presented in vintage condition - there's not much to complain about here, although there is some signs of wear. Colours are superb in their archaic way. Sound is very decent for its age. Almost all the cartoons are presented in their original Academy fullscreen aspect-ratio. All, except for one widescreen Cinemascope cartoon, which is shown widescreen for its titles, and then is hacked and cropped to fit a standard fullscreen television. How stupid is that! There's a very short (less than two minutes) featurette on How to Draw Tom and Jerry, which is just recording in fast-motion a cartoonist sketching some rudimentary cartoon figures. And there are three trailers, for Tom and Jerry - The Movie, Tom and Jerry - The Magic Ring, and Scooby Doo - Legend of the Vampire.
