TOM AND JERRY-SPOTLIGHT COLLECTION

Avoid this rubbish.
Supposedly remastered and restored,but prints are no better than the R2 versions,and the censor cuts are still there-so much for restoration.
No Puss Gets The Boot or Xmas episode.
The extras are fine but with the above and episodes out of sequence,I`ll be re-ordering the R2 collection.

Really? I`ve just ordered this from Movietyme. Are you sure they are cut, i`ve seen reviews that say otherwise. I know they are out of sequence though.

The one we all know is cut is The Little Orphan.The shot where the candle burns all Tom`s fur off,leaving the "Black and White Minstrel" look is ,as usual missing,although the poor quality Asian set is complete.
Compare the UK versions and the prints are no better.
Maybe there has been an error in production

I will be cancelling my order right away. Thanks for tip. I refuse to buy any edited films/TV progs etc.

Oh yeah i heard about the uncut asian discs (DVDBeaver i think?) Do you know who stock it? I`ve had a quick look on YesAsia couldn`t fin it.

According to The DigitalBits http://www.thedigitalbits.com/#mytwocents

Warner have accidently released the cut Tom & Jerry episodes. And they are being replaced for uncut discs.

The only 2 I know that are censored are The Little Orphan and (not on this set)His Mouse Friday.Of course there are many with the Mammy character that have been tinkered with voice wise and Saturday Evening Puss on the R2 discs is the white Mammy.
Do Warner own up to releasing unremastered prints aswell,because the quality on the others is nothing to shout about?

I`ve looked around and they are saying that they look as they did when first aired. From that alone i can imagine they look a bit dodgy.

I`m tempted to still get the set, but then they might not accept returns from overseas.
